Why Riveted

Built by engineers. Designed for business owners.

Most agencies are either business strategists who can't ship, or engineers who can't communicate value. Riveted was built by leaders who've operated at the intersection — shipping products at Google, scaling engineering teams at startups, and building AI-powered tools from scratch.

Whether we're building your small business a site that drives leads, or architecting an AI product with your team — we bring the same engineering rigor and business sense to everything we do.

What We Build

01
For Small Businesses

AI-Powered Websites

We build websites for small businesses that don't just look good — they generate leads, convert customers, and grow revenue. AI tools let us deliver fast, and smart integrations like AI assistants keep your site working while you sleep.

  • SEO-optimized, conversion-focused design
  • AI assistants (Intercom) for 24/7 lead capture
  • Smart forms & automated follow-ups
  • Fast delivery powered by AI tooling
  • Ongoing support & growth strategy
Best for: Local businesses, service companies, e-commerce shops, and anyone whose website should be their #1 salesperson.
02
For Founders & Teams

AI Web App Consulting

Have an idea for an AI-powered product? We partner with founders and teams to design, build, and ship production-grade web applications — from concept through launch. Think of us as your technical co-founder.

  • Full-stack development (React, Node, Python, etc.)
  • AI/LLM integrations & agent architectures
  • API design, data pipelines & infrastructure
  • Shopify apps, SaaS products, internal tools
  • Technical strategy & architecture consulting
Best for: Founders with a product idea, startups needing engineering muscle, and businesses building AI-powered tools.

Ricky Garcia
Founder, Riveted · MIT CS · Caltech AI/ML

Ricky has spent 25+ years building software and leading engineering teams across every stage of company growth — and has the playbooks to prove it.

At Google, he managed cross-functional developer tools on YouTube Ads, drove multi-year technical roadmaps, and coached engineers through promotions. At LeaseLock (Series B), he scaled the engineering org from 1 engineer — himself — to 23, making architecture, hiring, and product decisions with high autonomy. As CTO of Bend (seed stage), he shipped a production platform handling $20M+ in collections in 10 months, doubled PR throughput with AI-assisted workflows, and delivered a partner integration the client called “record time.”

He's not here to hand you a framework deck. He's done the work — built the teams, shipped the products, navigated the chaos — and he'll help your team do the same.

Velocity & Efficiency

Ship faster without burning out your team. We audit your development lifecycle and implement the workflows, tooling, and AI-assisted practices that eliminate drag.

  • Sprint and delivery process optimization
  • AI coding tool adoption (Claude Code, CodeRabbit, Copilot)
  • Code review and CI/CD pipeline tuning
  • Developer experience and tooling audits
02

Value & Prioritization

Stop building the wrong things. We help engineering leaders align technical work to business outcomes — so every sprint delivers customer value, not just story points.

  • OKR and roadmap alignment with product/business
  • Technical debt triage and paydown strategy
  • Cross-functional stakeholder engagement
  • Build vs. buy decision frameworks
03

Scale & Team Growth

Grow your team without losing speed. From your first hire to your twentieth, we bring the lessons from scaling orgs through seed, Series A, and Series B.

  • Hiring playbooks and interview design
  • Engineering ladder and career frameworks
  • 1:1 coaching, PIPs, and performance management
  • On-call, incident response, and team structure
Best for: Seed to Series B startups with 2–30 engineers who need to move faster, hire smarter, and ship what matters — without the overhead of a full-time VP of Engineering.
Small Business Websites · In Action

An AI assistant that handles customers while you run your business.

Imagine you run a plumbing company.

It's 9 PM. A homeowner finds a leak under their kitchen sink. They land on your website and — instead of a contact form you'll see tomorrow morning — they get an instant conversation with an AI assistant powered by Intercom.

The assistant knows your services, your pricing, your service area. It answers questions, qualifies the lead, and books an appointment — all before your competitor's voicemail picks up.

1

We train it on your business. Services, FAQs, pricing, service area — loaded into Intercom's AI so it answers like your best employee.

2

It lives on your website 24/7. Visitors get instant, helpful answers — no waiting, no phone trees, no missed leads.

3

It books and qualifies leads for you. The AI collects contact info, understands the problem, and schedules the appointment — you wake up to a full calendar.
