Can you work in an existing codebase?
Yes. I begin by reviewing the relevant code, development setup, and deployment process. That helps identify dependencies and a manageable first change before committing to a larger scope.
Software development
Custom software, internal tools, APIs, and hands-on engineering support for businesses and product teams in Southwest Florida and remotely.
Discuss your ideaA practical place to start
Build the tool your work is missing.
Sometimes the next useful tool does not exist in the software you already use. Sometimes you have an application that needs attention. I help turn a defined problem into working software, whether that means a small internal tool, a customer-facing application, or improvements to an existing codebase.
This could be a fit if…
- A spreadsheet or manual process has become difficult to manage.
- You need a prototype to test an idea with real users.
- Your existing product needs features, debugging, integration work, or additional engineering capacity.
Scope and deliverables
What we can build together
We agree on the deliverables and what successful completion looks like before the work begins.
A focused specification
We define who will use the software, the main task it needs to support, and what a useful first release includes. Open questions and dependencies become part of the scope.
Working application features
The work can include interface development, backend APIs, data models, account access, and connections to other systems. AI features are included where they serve the task.
A maintainable handoff
Depending on scope, delivery includes source code, setup instructions, tests for important behavior, deployment notes, and a walkthrough of how to operate and extend the application.
One possible project
What this can look like
An office team needs a shared view of open jobs, missing documents, and outstanding approvals. A small internal application gives each role the actions it needs and keeps a record of changes, replacing several disconnected tracking sheets.

Working directly with me
Make the first release manageable.
We identify the main user task and build a small working version around it. You review it against real examples before we extend the scope. For an existing application, I begin with the development setup and the most important issue, then verify the change before release.
Available as consulting, a done-for-you project, or ongoing support, with timing and tool costs agreed in advance.
What to bring
Bring the problem, who experiences it, and what you use today. For existing software, a walkthrough and a list of the most important issues are more useful than a long wishlist.

A few useful answers
Can we start with a prototype?
Yes. We agree on what the prototype needs to prove and which parts are temporary. If it moves toward production, we separately address the access controls, testing, and operating requirements that stage needs.
