A personal partner
Hi, I’m Dashiell Nagarajan.
I’m from New Orleans, and I’m a student at San Diego State University pursuing a Business degree, with a certification in AI. I started Spare Hours Co. because business owners deserve the benefits of better tools without having to become tech experts themselves.
My approach is hands-on and ongoing. I learn how your business actually works, simplify what makes sense, and protect the work that still needs your judgment and relationships.
