About

Rooted in St. Pete. Built for small business operators.

Hi, I'm Kason — the founder of Sunshine City Automation.

Kason Kedersha, founder of Sunshine City Automation

I started Sunshine City Automation here in St. Petersburg with one goal: help small business owners use AI and automation to run better businesses without the noise. I'm a husband, a dad of four, and a St. Pete native. This city is home, and I built this company to serve the businesses I see every day in my own neighborhood.

Before this, I worked in design, automation, and operations across a number of industries. What I kept seeing — over and over — was that small business owners knew AI was happening, but had no clear path to figure out where it actually fit in their business. They'd download a tool, get overwhelmed, and abandon it. Or they'd hire a consultant and end up with a $25,000 invoice for a system they couldn't operate themselves.

Sunshine City Automation is built on a different model. We start every client engagement with a structured assessment — affordable, focused, designed to give you clarity before you commit to anything bigger. From there, you decide what to build, what to skip, and whether you want our help implementing it.

I work with businesses across St. Pete and Tampa Bay — plus the occasional remote client when the fit is right. If your business has 1–50 employees and you're stuck on where to start with AI, I'd love to talk.
