Custom Software Development for Business Operations

Who I help

Companies whose operations have outgrown their SaaS subscription stack. Department heads with a workflow no off-the-shelf product supports. Founders building a business whose competitive advantage is the software — not "we use Salesforce", but "our software runs the business in a way Salesforce cannot". CTOs and owners who need a senior single-principal engineer instead of a five-person agency with a junior team.

Services I offer

• Custom business systems. Operations platforms, scheduling systems, claim-review workflows, contractor-management portals, dispatching software, internal admin surfaces.
• Internal dashboards. Real-time visibility into what is happening inside the business — sales pipeline, fulfillment, customer health, financial KPIs — pulled together from the systems that already exist.
• Custom workflows. The processes your team runs every day, encoded in software with audit trails, role-based permissions, and the conditional logic SaaS forms cannot do.
• Internal platforms. The shared services layer multiple teams depend on — authentication, document storage, notification fan-out, reporting, integrations — built once, used across the org.
• System modernization. Legacy Access databases, Excel-driven workflows, half-finished prior projects brought current to a maintainable web application.

Benefits

• Software that fits the business. Not the other way around. Workflows in software match how the team actually works, not how the SaaS product wants them to work.
• You own the system. Source code, deployment story, runbook handed over. Replaceable, not vendor-locked.
• Predictable maintenance. Pest 4 tests, Pint formatting, documented infrastructure. The next engineer can pick up where I left off without an archaeological dig.
• One engineer, end to end. Discovery, architecture, build, deploy, and 30-day post-launch support — same principal across all of it.

Related technologies

Laravel 13 + Livewire 4 + Flux 2 + Tailwind 4 for web applications. PHP 8.4 for the backend with PHPStan / Pint enforcement. PostgreSQL or MariaDB. C# / .NET 10 + MAUI for desktop and mobile companion apps where the workflow demands a native client. Pest 4 for the test suite. The stack is version-current; the buyer inherits a maintainable codebase, not a museum piece.

How a custom software engagement runs

1. Scoping call (free, 30 minutes). What you are building, what the business is doing today, what the constraint is.
2. Written specification (1–3 weeks, paid). Architecture sketch, data model, milestone plan, Pest test plan, deploy plan, named tradeoffs.
3. Two-week sprints with working demos. Pest tests written alongside features. Pint formatting on every commit.
4. Handover. Deployed system, test suite, README runbook a second engineer can execute, 30-day post-launch support window.
