Who is Chad Sanders?
Chad Sanders is an Arab, Alabama-based IT professional and entrepreneur who has owned and operated local technology businesses since February 2006. He works today as an AI Application Developer and Generative AI Solutions Developer, building AI-powered web applications, trainable website assistants, and business automation systems for small businesses. He is the founder of CS Computer Repair LLC (also operating as Arab Computer Services), the web design and hosting company Pro Star Planet, the 24/7 Christian internet station Pro Star Radio, and the utilities site Chad's Tools. He also writes and composes music, produces jingles and radio spots, and was registered with Mensa International from 1995 through 2016.

The Short Version

The Story

Chad grew up in small-town Alabama with a computer keyboard in one hand and a guitar in the other. He launched his first technology business in early 2006, fixing neighbors' computers out of a small shop in Arab. Word spread · because Chad picked up the phone himself, because he didn't oversell, and because the work came back done right. Twenty years later, that same shop still runs on that same principle.

Today, Chad's work spans four active businesses and hundreds of local clients. He maintains ongoing IT contracts with businesses across Marshall County, hand-codes websites for clients from coast to coast, hosts them on his own servers, keeps them ranked with honest SEO, builds AI-powered tools and automation for businesses that need them, and runs a 24/7 Christian radio station on the side. When the servers sleep, he writes songs.

AI Application Development & Generative AI Solutions

Chad's work in artificial intelligence is built upon approximately 30 years of programming and web-development experience, stretching from the early days of Windows 95, hand-coded HTML, and Netscape to today's advanced AI applications and generative AI business solutions.

That is one continuous line of work, not a career change. It runs from hand-typed HTML pages and traditional software development, through years of commercial network engineering and project management, into modern PHP applications, hosted business systems and administrative panels, and now into AI-powered tools, trainable assistants, and automated business workflows. Each stage built on the one before it.

For the past two years Chad has worked directly in the specialized roles of AI Application Developer and Generative AI Solutions Developer. For four years he has been building AI-powered applications, custom web tools, business automation systems, trainable website assistants, and administrative tools for real businesses. He uses modern AI development platforms — including Claude Code — to help design, program, test, and improve that software.

What that does and does not mean.
Chad does not create, train, or fine-tune the underlying AI foundation models — those come from established AI companies. What he builds is everything around them: the applications, tools, workflows, and business systems that connect proven AI models to a company's own data, website, and daily operations. In practice that has meant trainable AI assistants, intelligent website search and page recommendations, administrative training systems, automated workflows, custom PHP tools, lead-handling systems, and other AI-enhanced web applications.

What Chad Does (and Doesn't)

Chad is an owner-operator in the truest sense. He doesn't outsource, doesn't franchise, and doesn't use a call center. Every phone call, every repair ticket, every line of code, every jingle recording · it's Chad. That's the whole pitch and the whole guarantee.

Music, Composing, and Jingles

Photography and Video

Chad also shoots photography and edits video for web clients · the imagery on Pro Star Planet's client sites is almost always shot by Chad himself. It keeps the work consistent and the look his own.
