Services

Three ways I help businesses in Northwest Arkansas and beyond — each scoped with a written proposal, built by a senior engineer, and shipped with support after launch.

Custom Web Applications

Software built around your process — not the other way around.

Off-the-shelf tools force your business to work their way. A custom web application does the opposite: it encodes how your team actually operates, then removes the friction. I design, build, and ship production-grade web apps end to end — from the database to the interface to hosting.

Good fit if: your team runs on spreadsheets held together with hope, you're paying for five SaaS tools that almost do what you need, or a critical process lives in one employee's head.

Typical projects

  • Internal tools that replace tangled spreadsheets and shared drives
  • Customer or vendor portals — orders, status, documents, self-service
  • Dashboards that pull live numbers from the systems you already use
  • Modernizing a legacy system that only one person knows how to run

AI Features & Tooling

AI where it earns its keep — not AI for the sake of it.

Most businesses don't need an 'AI strategy.' They need a few well-chosen places where AI removes real hours of work. I build practical AI features on top of your existing data and tools, and I'll tell you plainly when AI is the wrong answer.

Good fit if: your team spends hours reading, re-typing, or summarizing documents, or you have a product that customers keep asking to be 'smarter.'

Typical projects

  • Document processing — invoices, POs, contracts, forms in; structured data out
  • Assistants that answer questions from your own documents and data
  • AI features added to a product you already sell
  • Drafting, summarizing, and triage steps built into your workflows

Automation & Integrations

Make the systems you already own talk to each other.

The most expensive work in most companies is the invisible kind: re-keying data between systems, assembling the same report every Monday, chasing files through email. I connect your systems — CRM, ERP, accounting, e-commerce, warehouse — and automate the manual steps between them.

Good fit if: someone on your team copies data between two systems every week, or a report that leadership relies on takes hours to assemble by hand.

Typical projects

  • Two-way syncs between your CRM, accounting, and operations tools
  • Automated reports that build and deliver themselves
  • Data pipelines that clean and move data on a schedule
  • API integrations with vendors, retailers, and logistics partners

Not sure which one you need?

Most projects touch more than one of these — an internal tool that also automates a report, an integration that grows an AI step. Bring me the business problem; the discovery call is where we figure out the right shape for the solution.
