Precision software.
Zero bloat.|
Custom-fit solutions from an engineer who actually picks up the phone. No agencies, no layers of management — just good software, built right.
Services
What I build
Three things, done well.
Custom Software
Bespoke tools and systems that fit your business exactly. No paying for features you'll never use.
Vibecode Rescue
Your AI-built app almost works? I'll untangle the spaghetti, fix the bugs, and make it production-ready.
Fractional CTO
Technical leadership without the full-time price tag. Strategy, architecture, and vendor decisions on your terms.
Philosophy
Software plumbing, not software theater
Most software is built to impress investors. Mine is built to solve your actual problem.
The bloated way
- Pay for 100 features, use 3
- 6-month "discovery phases"
- Talk to a PM who talks to a dev
- Locked into their platform
The local.tech way
- Built exactly to your spec
- Ship in weeks, not quarters
- Talk directly to the person building it
- You own everything
Process
How it works
Simple, transparent, no surprises.
Discovery
We talk about what you need. Not what I want to sell you — what actually solves your problem.
Build
I build it. You see progress weekly. No vanishing for months behind a curtain.
Maintain
Software needs upkeep. I stick around to keep things running and evolve with your business.
