I build operations software for contractors
I'm a senior engineer who builds operations software for contractors, the custom platforms, dashboards, and integrations that off-the-shelf tools can't handle.
My most recent build: a multi-tenant field operations platform for a multi-division home services contractor in Colorado. Scheduling, dispatch, a crew mobile app, job costing, change orders, a customer approval portal, an accounts receivable dashboard synced to their CRM in real time, and a permit monitoring system that surfaces new construction leads before competitors know about them.
Before that: consumer apps shipped to 100K+ users, backend services handling 50K+ daily requests on AWS, and RAG/AI pipelines. That AI work still shows up on the blog, from building production AI voice agents to reducing LLM API costs in production.

What I built for a contractor
A multi-division home services contractor in Colorado was running 4 divisions across 2 states: gutters, insulation, windows, and drywall. Operations were spread across spreadsheets, whiteboards, and disconnected CRM tools. Here's what I built.
01
Field Operations Platform
Multi-tenant scheduling, dispatch, a crew mobile app, job costing, change orders, and a customer approval portal.
Next.js · FastAPI · Railway · Supabase
02
Accounts Receivable Dashboard
Real-time invoice sync from Housecall Pro and ServiceMinder, aging buckets, automated follow-up alerts, and a customer payment portal.
Dual CRM sync · Aging buckets · Alerts
03
Permit Monitoring System
Pulls Denver open-data building permits, scores them by trade, routes by division, and estimates contract values.

Local SEO (5 sites, 2 states)
City pages, Google Business Profile optimization, technical SEO, and call tracking. Multiple pages ranking on page one.

07 — Process
How I work
No open-ended retainers and no black-box builds. Every engagement runs the same four steps, so you always know what's being built, when, and for how much.
01
Scoping call (15 min, free)
You tell me what's broken in your operation. I tell you what it would take to fix it and whether I'm the right fit.
02
Scope document
A written spec of exactly what gets built, the timeline, and the cost, before any work starts.
03
Build sprints
Weekly demos of working software. You see progress every week, not a big reveal at the end.
04
Launch + support
Deployed to production, your team trained, and ongoing support to handle what comes up after launch.

Let’s fix your operations
If your contracting business is running on spreadsheets, whiteboards, and tools that don't talk to each other, I build the system that replaces all of that.
