Custom software, automation & design for small businesses · Maryland & remote

The task that eats your week? Gone by Friday.

I build custom software for small businesses: web apps, dashboards, reporting tools, and automations that kill the retyping, the chasing, and the copy-paste reports. Tell me the annoying thing on Monday. It's running by Friday.

This week to-do

Retype emailed orders into the system
Copy numbers into the weekly report (again)
Update three spreadsheets that don't talk
Finally do something about the website
Chase down who hasn't paid
Run the business← yours

What I actually build

Not strategy decks. Custom software, design, and automation built around how your business already runs, using AI where it genuinely helps and skipping it where it doesn't.

Reports & dashboards

Live views of the numbers you currently assemble by hand. Whether that's job profitability, weekly revenue, no-show rates, or which customers have gone quiet, pulled from the systems you already use.

e.g. an owner's dashboard that replaces the Sunday-night spreadsheet ritual

Custom web apps

The software you'd buy off the shelf if anyone actually sold it. Event and booking management, collections boards, job trackers, request queues, built for your exact workflow instead of forcing your workflow into someone else's product.

e.g. a full event management system built around one catering company's process

Websites & design

Landing pages, full sites, digital menus, interactive pieces, anything a customer sees and judges you by. Clean, fast, and built simple, so updating it doesn't mean calling a designer and waiting a week.

e.g. a QR menu the restaurant updates themselves when the specials change

Paperwork & forms

The paper and PDF shuffle, digitized. Client intake, estimates and quotes, new-hire packets, booking forms, anything that currently gets printed, signed, scanned, and retyped.

e.g. a client intake form that fills the contract and the calendar at once

Repetitive tasks

The stuff someone does every single day that a machine should do instead. Sorting scanned documents, sending the same reminder emails, moving data between two systems that refuse to talk.

e.g. scanned paperwork auto-read, renamed, and filed in the right folder

The "probably impossible" thing

Every business has one: the workflow everyone assumes can't be fixed because it's too weird or too specific. Those are my favorite. Bring it to the intake form and find out.

e.g. a quoting tool for a fabrication shop where every job is custom

A week, start to finish

Most projects follow the same shape. No discovery phase that lasts a quarter. No retainer. One annoying problem in, one working tool out.

Mon

We talk

Thirty minutes. You show me the annoying thing. I tell you straight if it's automatable.

Tue

I watch

I look at how the work actually happens, not how the org chart says it happens.

Wed

I build

Head down. You'll get a working version, not a mockup.

Thu

You break it

Your team tries it on real work. I fix what's wrong on the spot.

Fri

It's done

Live, documented, and yours. No subscription to me required.

The deal is simple: fixed quote before I build anything, so you know the cost before I write a line. Bigger projects take more than a week. I'll tell you which kind yours is on Monday.

From people I've done this for

Real projects, real operators, no stock photos of handshakes.

Connor has built tools for my sales team that I assumed we'd need expensive software for. I went from digging through ERP exports to having a live dashboard that shows me sales pace, every customer's trend, and which accounts are going quiet before they become a problem. He also mapped our entire customer base so I can plan market visits by territory instead of by memory. The thing that sets him apart is speed. I mention a problem in a meeting and there's a working tool in my inbox days later, built around how we actually work.

Mary Jo · Director of Sales, Soft Stuff Distributors

We started Little Seesters with three partners, a lot of ambition, and events tracked across group texts and a shared notes doc. Connor built us a website and a backend that runs the whole operation: every event, every detail, every guest list in one place that all three of us can work from at the same time. It does things I didn't know we could afford, and honestly didn't know we needed until we had them. For a new company, having systems this solid from day one changed how seriously we take ourselves.

The guy behind it

I'm Connor. By day I'm the Director of Operations at a regional food distributor, which means I live inside the same problems you do: deliveries, invoices, paperwork, and people doing things manually because "that's how we've always done it."

I'm not a software company and I'm not a career consultant. I'm an operator who got tired of waiting on vendors and learned to build instead. The tools on this page started as fixes for my own team, and the difference shows: I don't build what's technically impressive, I build what survives contact with a busy Tuesday.

Fair questions

The things people ask before they fill out the form, answered straight.

Who owns what you build?

You do. Fully, on final payment: the code, the accounts, the logins, and a plain-English guide to how it works. No subscription to me, no proprietary platform holding your tool hostage. If we never speak again, everything keeps working.

What happens if it breaks later?

I build deliberately simple, with boring, proven technology, so there's very little to break. If something I built stops working, I fix it. If you want new features down the road, that's a quick fixed quote for the addition, not a retainer or a maintenance contract you're locked into.

What does a project cost?

Every project gets a fixed quote before I write a line, so the number you agree to is the number you pay. Small automations cost less than you'd expect; full custom web apps cost more but still a fraction of off-the-shelf software subscriptions over a couple of years. You'll know your number after the Monday call.

I'm not sure my problem can even be automated.

That's exactly what the intake form is for. Describe the annoying thing in plain English and I'll tell you straight: yes, no, or partially, and what it would roughly take. Asking costs you two minutes and nothing else. The weirder the problem, the more I want to see it.

Tell me what's eating your time

Two minutes, three fields. Describe the annoying thing in plain English. I'll reply within one business day with whether I can kill it, and roughly what that takes.
