Custom software, portals & long-term contract development
Before I went back to building websites for local businesses, I spent years on multi-year enterprise contracts in insurance, healthcare, automotive, and finance. That work is still available, whether you are a local business that has outgrown spreadsheets or a team that needs a senior developer embedded in a serious product.
Custom software, web apps & APIs
Portals and line-of-business apps: from $10,000, scoped per project
Custom portals & web apps
Customer and staff portals with secure logins, role-based access, dashboards, reporting, and API integrations. Typically Angular or React with .NET or Python, deployed to AWS, Azure, or your preferred cloud.
Process automation
Serverless workflows (AWS Lambda, Step Functions, EventBridge) that remove manual data entry, file processing, and notification chains, with audit trails and error handling built in.
Integration overhauls
Rescue fragile point-to-point integrations with queue-based architecture, retry logic, monitoring, and performance tuning so your systems scale with the business.
Long-term contracts & team augmentation
Many of my most successful partnerships begin simply: you maintain a backlog of technical tasks, and I work through them systematically. This fits businesses with more development needs than they can handle internally, or teams that want specialized expertise without a full-time hire.
- Async communication: You provide detailed work items; I analyze, propose solutions, and execute without constant meetings.
- Weekly progress demos: Once per week I demonstrate completed work, gather feedback, and align on priorities.
- Continuous progress: Your technical backlog shrinks steadily, from quick fixes to complex features.
