Custom Software Builds
Custom web apps and internal systems, designed and built end to end.
Full-stack, made-to-measure software for problems off-the-shelf tools can't solve — internal platforms, client-facing apps, integrations, and the unglamorous systems your operation actually runs on. Designed, built, and shipped by one senior engineer, so there's no translation layer between the person scoping it and the person writing the code.
What's included
- Custom web applications and internal tools
- API design and third-party integrations
- Database architecture and data modeling
- Auth, roles, and audit trails where they matter
- Production deployment, docs, and handover
Technologies
Who It's For
Best fit
-
A process no tool fits
You've outgrown spreadsheets and glued-together SaaS, and you need a system built around how your business actually works.
-
A product idea that needs a builder
You have the domain and the customers; you need a senior engineer who can take it from sketch to shipped without a team to manage.
-
A rescue or rebuild
An inherited codebase or stalled build that needs someone senior to stabilize it and get it back on track.
The Process
How it works
-
Scope & shape
We define what the software has to do, the constraints it lives inside, and the smallest version that delivers real value.
-
Design the architecture
Data model, integrations, and structure decided up front — so the build holds up as it grows instead of collapsing under it.
-
Build in the open
Iterative delivery you can see and use early, not a big-bang reveal at the end. You steer while it's still cheap to steer.
-
Ship & hand over
Production deployment, documentation, and a clean handover — the work is yours to run and maintain, not a black box.
Common Questions
FAQ
- Do you work fixed-price or hourly?
- Most builds are scoped into fixed-price phases so you know the cost of each step before it starts. Open-ended work runs on a retainer — see Fractional Senior Engineering.
- Can you take over an existing codebase?
- Yes. I start with a short assessment of the current state, then give you an honest read on whether to stabilize, extend, or rebuild.
- Who owns the code?
- You do. Everything ships to your accounts and repositories, fully documented, with no lock-in to me.
