Application builds for real work
Web apps · APIs · Internal tools · iOS
Some problems aren't a website. They're a tool — something your team logs into to get work done, or a customer portal, or a small mobile app that finally replaces the spreadsheet. I build those, end-to-end, with stacks you can still maintain a year from now.
What ships
- A working app — not a pile of "phase one" tickets
- Source code in your repo, documented, with sensible commit history
- APIs that follow boring conventions so they're easy for the next developer
- Native iOS where it matters (SwiftUI / WidgetKit)
- Deployment that can be redone by hand if the automation breaks
- An honest assessment of what we should build vs. what we should buy
How it works
-
Scope
We figure out what actually has to exist on day one vs. what's "nice." I'll push back on scope creep so you don't pay for it later.
-
Ship
Short iterations with running code. You test as we go — not in one giant reveal at the end.
-
Hand off
Docs, runbooks, repo access, deployment walkthrough. You can keep me on retainer or take it solo.
Tools I lean on
Happy to meet in Tulare or Visalia if you want to whiteboard the workflow on paper.
Pricing
-
Custom Application
Starting at $3,500
Web portals, customer dashboards, scheduling systems, internal tools, or mobile-style apps. Final pricing based on workflow complexity, integrations, user accounts, data storage, and support requirements. Scoped and quoted before anything starts.

Common questions
What does a small project cost?
Most small internal tools land in the $3k–$15k range. Bigger builds quote per phase. See the pricing page for starting points.
Will you use AI to build it?
I use modern dev tools, which include AI assistance — but every line that ships is reviewed and tested by a human. You're paying for judgment, not for guesses.
What if my idea is too small?
It probably isn't. Half my favorite projects started as "this is probably stupid but…". If it's outside my lane, I'll tell you who to call.
Can you take over an app someone else started?
Yes. I'll do a code review first and tell you honestly whether continuing or rebuilding is cheaper over a year.
Got an idea worth building?
Tell me what your team does manually that you wish they didn't. We'll start there.
