Why Work With Me
The dependable dev who cares about your project.
The Solo-Architect Advantage
Direct access. No account managers, no game of telephone. You talk directly to the senior engineer building your product.
The Owner Mindset
I don't just build what's in the ticket - I dig deeper. When your team is stuck figuring out the right approach, I'm the dev in the room helping think through it. I care about your project like it's my own, because that's The Owner Mindset.
Zero "AWOL" Guarantee
Two combat deployments taught me what real accountability looks like - 8-hour radio watches, midnight firewatch, no days off, lives on the line. I bring that same discipline to your project. Weekends, holidays, urgent fixes - I don't clock out when things get critical.
What I Build
Full-stack development with a focus on shipping reliable, scalable software.
SaaS Development
End-to-end architecture using Laravel, Vue, or Rails. Scalable, secure, and ready for growth.
Legacy Modernization
Rescuing aging PHP and Rails platforms. I fix technical debt and introduce modern workflows without breaking the business.
AI & Automation
Integrating LLMs to automate workflows, summarize data, and build intelligent internal tools.
Fractional CTO
Strategic guidance for non-technical founders. Don't waste budget on the wrong tech stack.

What clients say
"If I had the volume of work to support it, I would hire him full-time without hesitation."
I've worked with David for over three years on SaaS products including TextSpot and Page Pulse, and he has consistently been our go-to full-stack developer. Beyond strong technical execution, David brings a level of ownership that sets him apart. He approaches projects with the mindset of a product manager and business owner, not just a developer completing tasks.
David is thoughtful and collaborative. He asks the right questions, respectfully challenges assumptions, and contributes ideas that improve the final product rather than simply following instructions. At the same time, he's highly adaptable and can execute exactly as directed when needed.
He also has deep expertise in AI, both in leveraging it to accelerate development workflows and in integrating it meaningfully into products.
I highly recommend working with David.

David was a valuable part of the team that helped launch Christian Schools International's website in 2018, and we were very happy and impressed with his back end development work. Our website was built on a custom platform, so we appreciated all of the custom offerings that David and his team suggested as we looked to improve the visibility and functionality of the CSI website to our audience.
David carefully listened to our needs and was very resourceful in coming up with different ways his team could approach our website projects. We highly recommend David to any company who is searching for a talented web developer who is motivated to create website solutions tailored to your needs.
