Software shaped like your actual operation.
Web applications, internal business systems, customer portals, scheduling, and operational dashboards. For when the spreadsheet stopped being enough.

For a well defined project. Anything unusual gets quoted after we talk.
There is a point where a business outgrows spreadsheets, group texts, and a whiteboard in the shop. Information lives in five places, nobody trusts the numbers, and somebody spends every Friday rebuilding the same report by hand.
This is the work I find most interesting. I have built a multi-tenant operations platform that handles jobs, crews, equipment, time entries, certifications, and inspections in a single console, with role-based access so the field and the office each see what they should.
What is actually included.
A system that matches your workflow
Built around how your operation actually runs, not how software vendors wish it ran.
Role-based access
Office, field, supervisor, and owner each get the right view and the right permissions.
Dashboards worth opening
Job costing, utilization, hours, and status that are current and trustworthy, not a report someone rebuilds every week.
Multi-user from day one
Real accounts, real permissions, and data isolation where it matters.
Works on a phone
Field users are not at a desk. The screens they need work on the device in their pocket.
Room to grow
Built so phase two does not mean starting over.
A good fit if...
- Service companies tracking jobs, crews, and equipment
- Businesses whose reporting is manual and always late
- Teams that need a customer-facing portal
- Anyone whose process lives in spreadsheets that keep breaking
The process.
- 01
Discovery
We map what actually happens today, including the parts nobody wrote down. This step is where most of the risk gets removed.
- 02
Scoped proposal
A defined version one with a fixed price, plus an honest list of what is phase two. No open-ended build.
- 03
Build in stages
You get working software to click through as it comes together, not a six-month silence.
- 04
Rollout and support
Real data loaded, your people trained, and me available while everyone adjusts.
What it costs.
Starting points for well defined work, published so you do not have to ask.
Custom App or Dashboard
Internal systems, customer portals, scheduling, and operational dashboards. Always scoped before it is priced.
$9,500
starting at
- A discovery phase that maps your actual workflow first
- A fixed scope for version one, with phase two written down separately
- Multi-user accounts with role-based permissions
- Dashboards and reporting built on live data
- Mobile usable screens for anyone working away from a desk
- Staged delivery, so you click through working software as it is built
Mobile Application
A focused mobile app built around the few things your users genuinely need to do on a phone.
$7,500
starting at
- Discovery and a fixed version one scope
- Mobile first interface design
- User accounts and authentication
- Backend and data storage
- Staged builds you can install and try during development
- App store submission assistance
What is not included.
Most of the trouble in this industry comes from what nobody mentioned up front. Here is the part other people leave off the page.
- The starting price reflects a tightly scoped version one. Application work is always quoted after discovery, never from a price list
- Enterprise integrations with existing ERP or accounting systems are scoped separately
- Data migration from legacy systems is quoted by volume and condition
- Ongoing hosting and support are a separate monthly agreement

Things people ask.
Why is the starting price so much lower than other firms?
Because there is no sales team, no account manager, and no project coordinator between you and the person writing the code. The tradeoff is that I scope carefully and build a focused version one instead of promising everything at once.
How do you keep a project like this from running away?
Discovery first, then a fixed scope for version one with the phase two list written down. If you want something added mid-build, I price it and you decide. Nothing quietly expands.
Can you work with software we already have?
Often yes, if it has an API or a usable export. I will check before promising anything.
What happens if you get hit by a bus?
Fair question and you should ask it of anyone. You get the source code and the deployment documentation. Nothing is locked in a black box only I can open.
