If you can dream it,
we can build it.
Ptech is a technology studio that builds websites, custom software and AI systems for businesses. If you can imagine it, we can build it.
Of the Practice
Marketing sites, e-commerce, and identity work that hold up next to your best work. Built to be edited, not just admired.
LLM-powered tools designed around a real workflow — intake forms, internal copilots, document pipelines, agentic search.
Dashboards, admin panels, and operational tools that retire the spreadsheet without replacing it with a worse one.
Quiet plumbing between the tools you already pay for, so the seams stop costing you hours every week.
Guests of the House
BanterBox Books
An AI platform that turns research, policy briefs, and fiction into conversations with cited answers — plus dedicated portals for writers, educators, and publishers.
Total Care PT
A practice site and patient intake flow for a 20-year Memphis rehab clinic — orthopedic, occupational, and workers' comp, with bilingual scheduling.
Memphis Gift Basket
An e-commerce platform for the city's signature Memphis-themed gift basket maker — corporate gifting, custom builds, same-day local delivery, FedEx nationwide.

Made on the bluff, from Memphis, Tennessee.
We named the studio after Ptah — the Egyptian craftsman god of the first Memphis — because his creation myth is the cleanest description we've found of what this work actually is.
What exists first in the mind becomes real through craftsmanship. Vision, then form. Imagination, then creation.
Drew Dickson
A decade of shipping software for teams who would have rather been doing anything else than spec'ing it. Ptech is the studio I wished existed when I was on the buying side: small enough to actually care about your weird edge cases, technical enough to ship the thing.
Before Ptech: building AI tooling, web platforms, and the occasional internal CRM that nobody wanted to maintain. Now: in Memphis, on the bluff, building for clients who'd like something real.
