About · AI Expert

Analyst by training. Builder by habit.

I’m Simas Bandzevicius, an AI expert in Tampa Bay. I spent my career mapping how organizations really work, and kept seeing people do by hand what software could do for them. So I started building the fixes myself, with AI.

Today

Three things I do, all at once.

I build AI into enterprise platforms. As a Business Analyst at Dynasty Labs within Dynasty Financial Partners, I help build wealth-technology platforms and implement AI-driven solutions for internal workflows, holding CSPO® and CSM® certifications.

I build AI systems for businesses. Through ScalingThis, my AI automation agency, I’ve shipped 50+ AI-driven production systems with n8n, Make, Zapier, Airtable and Supabase.

I help people learn AI and code. I founded the AI Automation Hub (1,000+ members), lead membership for IIBA Tampa Bay, and built LearnWithSQL and LearnWithPython.

How I work

Three rules I don’t break.

01

Process before tools

Automating a broken process just makes it break faster. I fix the steps first, then automate what’s left.

02

Plain language

You’ll always know what’s being built, why, and what it costs to run each month.

03

You own the result

Documentation and a proper hand-off are part of every project, never an add-on.
