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.

01

Discovery

We talk about what you need. Not what I want to sell you — what actually solves your problem.

02

Build

I build it. You see progress weekly. No vanishing for months behind a curtain.

03

Maintain

Software needs upkeep. I stick around to keep things running and evolve with your business.
