I build the systems businesses run on, and I build them to keep working long after launch.

For fifteen years I've helped organizations replace spreadsheets, manual processes and fragile software with systems their teams can rely on, in industries from enterprise retail and nonprofits to trucking, beauty and real estate.

What I can help with

Most of my clients arrive with one of these. If yours sounds familiar, we should talk.

Selected work

A cross-section of fifteen years. The common thread is systems that hold records people depend on.

Live in production

TruckSmart: fleet and repair-shop software that share one set of truck data

Two multi-tenant SaaS products I designed, built and run. They started with a trucking carrier and the repair shop that services its fleet, and now serve any company in either role. Because the shop system pulls units and live odometer readings from the fleet system, shop paperwork and maintenance schedules run on real telematics data instead of someone's guess.

TruckSmart TMS

Fleet management for trucking companies: trucks, trailers and drivers, with Geotab telematics integration for live odometer sync and maintenance tracking.

TruckSmart Shop

The full cycle for heavy-duty truck and trailer repair shops: work orders with customer approval, a mechanic job board and shop TV display, parts purchasing and inventory, invoicing that splits combined truck-and-trailer jobs into one invoice per unit, automatic maintenance drafts, and management reports.

Trucking and heavy-duty repair TypeScript, Express, Prisma, PostgreSQL, Next.js. Built and operated under Noedge Inc.

Client and employer work

Most client work is under NDA, so client names are withheld. I'm happy to go into detail in conversation.

How a project works

You deal with me from the first call to long after launch. No handoffs between a salesperson, a project manager and a developer you never meet.

  1. Understand the work

    I learn how your process actually runs today, who touches it, and where it breaks.

  2. Agree the plan

    A clear scope, a priced first phase, and what success looks like before any code is written.

  3. Build in stages

    You see working software early and often, so changes happen while they're cheap.

  4. Launch and support

    I stay on after go-live to fix, adjust and grow the system as your business changes.

What built to last means here

Mainstream, well-supported technology rather than anything exotic. Code, hosting and accounts in your name. Documentation another developer can pick up. Several systems I built are still in daily use a decade later.

Range

Having worked across many industries, I spend less time learning your business and more time solving its problems.
