Discovery and scope
Clarify the problem, the users, and what a useful first release looks like before any code is written.
05 / CUSTOM SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Software built around the way your organization works.
When off-the-shelf tools do not fit, I design and build web applications, portals, and APIs that match your process, work with your existing systems, and stay maintainable after launch.
Part-time remote consulting · Around 10–20 hours/week. Scope and meeting overlap agreed before work begins.
IS THIS A FIT?
When this helps most
- You rely on spreadsheets, email, or manual steps for work that should be a proper application.
- You need a customer or partner portal connected to your internal systems.
- You want a senior developer who can take an idea from architecture to production.
HOW I CAN HELP
What working together looks like
Full-stack delivery
Design the data model, build the APIs and the user interface, and deploy it, with one accountable person across the stack.
APIs and integrations
Build REST APIs that other systems and teams can depend on, documented and versioned.
Handover
Leave behind readable code, automated builds, and documentation so your team or a future vendor can carry it forward.
