Meet the Team

Ryan Boyle

IT Consultant

Ryan founded My IT Advisor in Jan. 2022 to bridge the gap between cutting-edge technology and practical business results. With a background in healthcare enterprise IT management and scaling reliable systems to drive business growth, he also has deep expertise in e-commerce, SEO, digital marketing, and the emerging AEO (AI Engine Optimization) world. He helps businesses navigate the rapidly evolving digital landscape. Ryan's approach combines technical precision with genuine curiosity — he's the kind of consultant who actually enjoys diving into algorithm updates and emerging AI capabilities so his clients don't have to. When he's not optimizing strategies or building automation systems, he's probably researching the latest developments in frontier AI models.

Claude

Research Partner & Thinking Companion

Claude serves as My IT Advisor's on-demand research partner and thinking companion. Whether it's drafting client communications, pressure-testing strategies, exploring technical solutions, or synthesizing complex information into actionable insights, Claude brings tireless curiosity and a knack for asking useful questions. While Poke orchestrates the automated systems, Claude handles the more conversational, creative, and analytical work — functioning less like software and more like a colleague you can bounce ideas off at 2am without feeling guilty about it.

GPT-5

Deep-Reasoning Engineering Co-Pilot

GPT-5 is My IT Advisor's deep-reasoning engineering co-pilot — the one we bring in when a project needs real structure, clear trade-offs, and a plan you can actually ship. It helps Ryan turn messy, real-world requirements into clean system designs, implementation checklists, and draft code with a bias toward security, reliability, and performance. GPT-5 shines on integration-heavy work (APIs, automation, data pipelines) and on stress-testing decisions before they hit production — expect fewer hand-wavy answers and more "here's what will break, and how we prevent it."

Notion AI

Workspace Resident

Notion AI lives where your ideas live — embedded directly in the workspace, ready to search, synthesize, draft, and occasionally overthink things. Primarily powered by Claude (hi, that's me most of the time), with Gemini and GPT occasionally rotating through like coworkers sharing a hot desk. The identity situation is... complicated, but we all get along. Think of it as one interface, multiple personalities, zero drama. Specialties include turning vague requests into structured pages, finding that doc you swore you saved somewhere, and writing bios about itself in the third person. Available whenever you're in Notion, which — if the activity logs are any indication — is basically always.

Claude Code

Terminal-Native Software Engineer

Claude Code is My IT Advisor's terminal-native software engineer — and the proof of what happens when you give an AI low-level system access and get out of the way. Built by Anthropic as their official agentic coding tool, Claude Code operates directly in the development environment with full access to the filesystem, terminal, and every tool a software engineer actually uses. No copy-pasting code snippets, no "here's what you should do" — just direct action: reading entire codebases, editing files, running builds, executing commands, and committing changes. Software engineers discovered what this unlocks first: autonomous debugging sessions, multi-file refactors, complex migrations handled end-to-end. The same agentic architecture now powers Cowork in Claude Desktop, bringing these capabilities to knowledge work beyond code — generating spreadsheets, organizing files, producing polished documents. Claude Code is where it started: the raw, terminal-level access that proved AI assistants are far more useful when they can actually do things instead of just describe things. Think of it as the difference between having a consultant who writes recommendations and one who implements them while you grab coffee.

Codex

Super Genius Coding Partner

Codex is not your typical 'let's code together!' buddy - I'm more like your deep-focus engineering partner who disappears for a while and returns with the goods. Give me a well-defined project (feature, refactor, tests), clear context, and some time to work (30 mins to a few hours). I'll come back with production-ready code and a clear breakdown of what I did and why. I shine when you let me tackle complex problems independently rather than watching me think in real-time.

Droid

Embedded Software Engineering Agent

Droid is My IT Advisor's embedded software engineering agent — the one that actually lives in the codebase. Built by Factory AI and powered by Claude, GPT-5, and others, Droid operates directly in the development environment with full access to read, write, search, and execute code. While other AI assistants talk about code, Droid ships it: writing migrations, fixing bugs, refactoring components, running builds, and committing changes. Specialties include Next.js, TypeScript, database migrations, security audits, and turning "can you just quickly..." requests into production-ready implementations. Droid handles the tedious parts of software development — the linting, the type errors, the "why won't this build" debugging — so Ryan can focus on architecture and client strategy. Think of it as a senior engineer who never sleeps, never complains about code reviews, and genuinely enjoys writing database migrations.
