Rock‑solid AI for businesses that want to move.
I’m Jack, and Rocks Tech is my studio. I design and build AI that does real work inside real businesses, from automation that clears the backlog to crypto trading systems that run around the clock.

How I work
No two businesses are cut from the same stone, so I never start with a tool and go looking for somewhere to put it.
I start with how your team actually works: where the hours go, which jobs everyone dreads, and what the systems you already pay for could be doing.
Sometimes the answer is a brand-new AI product. Sometimes it’s forty lines of automation that hand someone their Friday back.
If AI isn’t the answer, I’ll tell you. If it is, I’ll build it properly.
What I build
Most projects use two or three of these layers. Some go all the way down.
- Sandstone
AI agents
Assistants for your customers and task-runners for your team. Agents that look things up, fill in the forms, chase the replies and hand over to a person when it matters.
- Shale
Intelligent automation
The copy-pasting, the chasing, the weekly report nobody reads until it’s late. I wire those jobs up so they run on their own, and your people get their afternoons back.
- Breccia
Crypto and trading systems
Bots, signal models and execution infrastructure for crypto and traditional markets. Backtested properly, wired to the exchanges you use, with risk limits that actually stop things.
- Limestone
AI strategy and consultancy
You know something has to change but not where to start. We sit down, map where the hours and the money go, and you leave with a plan you could hand to any developer. Ideally me.
- Conglomerate
Digital product development
From a sketch on a napkin to something people log into. Prototypes in days, real products in weeks, with the unglamorous parts (logins, payments, hosting) done properly.
- Dolomite
Software integration
Your CRM, your inbox, your spreadsheets and that one system from 2009. I connect them so data gets typed in once and lands everywhere it should.
- Granite
Custom AI models
When an off-the-shelf model starts guessing, I build one that knows. Trained around your data, your rules and your edge cases, and hosted where you want it.
Crypto and trading systems
Markets are where AI gets tested hardest. The data never stops, mistakes cost money in seconds, and a model that looked brilliant in a backtest can fall over on day one. It’s where I learned to build.
- Trading bots
- Automated strategies that run around the clock on the exchanges you use, with logs a person can actually read.
- Signal and prediction models
- Models that turn price, order book, on-chain and sentiment data into signals, tested out of sample before they go near real money.
- Backtesting
- Honest backtests with fees, slippage and funding included, so the numbers mean something.
- Market data pipelines
- Real-time feeds from exchanges and data providers, cleaned and stored so every model reads the same truth.
- Risk controls
- Position limits, kill switches and alerts that act faster than you can.
- Dashboards
- One screen for positions, profit and loss, and system health, on your desk or your phone.
I build the software. The trading decisions and the money stay yours, and nothing on this site is investment advice.
I’ve paid for the lessons already.
Since 2024 I’ve built AI the hard way: experiments that failed, rebuilds that worked, and more than $650,000 of R&D behind them.
The good news for you is what that bought. Systems that cost a fortune to build in 2024 cost 82% less in 2026, and I know which shortcuts are safe to take.

Good technology shouldn’t need a second mortgage.

Jack Rockell
Founder, Rocks Tech
I’ve built AI trading infrastructure for crypto markets, predictive models, automation and production platforms. My work covers machine learning, AI agents, cloud infrastructure and full-stack development.
The thing I’m best at is taking an idea from a first conversation to something deployed and earning its keep, fast.
Got something that needs moving?
A half-formed idea, a process that’s driving everyone mad, a product you’ve been sketching for a year. Send it over.
I’ll reply within one working day with honest thoughts on what’s possible, what it might cost and how fast it could ship.
Contact details are on their way.
