Software engineer and consultant · Central Valley and remote
Your business runs on spreadsheets and duct tape. I can fix that.
I've spent 20+ years replacing paper job tickets, rescuing legacy platforms, and keeping production servers alive. You get one senior engineer who designs it, builds it, and still picks up the phone when something goes sideways.

What I do
Build it.
Custom software that replaces the paper, the spreadsheets, and the six disconnected tools. Quotes, job tracking, inventory, production queues, invoicing, integrations with QuickBooks and whatever else you already pay for.
Rescue it.
You inherited a system and the person who built it is long gone. Maybe it's a legacy app, a pile of WordPress sites, or an automation that worked great until it didn't. I figure out what it actually does, tell you plainly what it'll take, and fix it.
Keep it running.
Servers, security, updates, backups, and the 6am call before the morning shift. Ongoing support on a monthly retainer, so you have an engineer before you need one.

Client names stay private; the problems and the work are real.
Why me
The person who designs your system is the person who gets the call when it breaks.
On a lot of software projects, the people who design the system never see what happens after launch. I've spent years on both sides of that handoff, running infrastructure for a fleet of production sites while still writing the code. So I build things the way someone who'll be paged at 2am builds them: boring where it should be, documented, and easy for the next engineer to read.
How it works
A 20-minute call.
You tell me what's broken or what you need. I tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
A paid discovery.
For anything bigger than a quick fix, I map what exists, find the real problems, and give you a written plan with estimates. You own it whether or not we keep working together.
Build or support.
A fixed-scope project, or an ongoing retainer for systems that need a steady hand.
Projects typically start at $10,000. Retainers are scoped to what you run.
Got a system nobody wants to touch?
A legacy platform held together with tape, a business still running on spreadsheets, or infrastructure everyone's afraid to restart. I've been handed all three. Tell me what you're dealing with.
