Custom software · built in Alaska
Custom web apps, dashboards, billing flows, and integrations for Alaska operators — scoped at a fixed price and built by the person you talk to. When the spreadsheet, the whiteboard, and three separate subscriptions stop holding it together, this is what comes next.
Shoal water
If two or more of these sound like your week, it's worth a conversation.
A 45-minute call will tell you whether custom software is worth it — or whether an off-the-shelf tool you haven't tried yet does the job for a fraction of the price. I'll say so if it does.
What I build
Front end, back end, database, payments, deployment — one person across the whole stack, so nothing falls between contractors.
Reservations, charter and tour slots, moorage, equipment, crew rosters — with the seasonal, tidal, and weather rules your business actually runs on, not a generic calendar you fight every week.
Stripe deposits, recurring invoices, split payments, refunds, and receipts that reconcile without re-entry.
The numbers you check every morning, on one screen, current — not a spreadsheet someone rebuilds weekly.
Two systems that were never meant to talk, syncing on a schedule, with nobody in the middle.
Dispatch, job tracking, inspections, and forms that work on a phone in a boat or a truck — including when the signal drops.
Fifteen years of records out of a legacy system or a stack of spreadsheets, into something queryable.
How it runs · five legs
Every phase is scoped and priced before it starts. You can stop after any leg and keep everything built so far.
Walk me through how the work flows now, including the parts held together by memory and habit.
What gets built, what doesn't, what it costs, how long. Yours to keep and to shop around.
Working software you can click through at the end of every run. No six-month silence.
Real data migrated, your team walked through it, written docs left behind.
Monthly retainer or hourly, your call. Either way you keep the code and the database.
Under the hood
No proprietary framework only I can maintain, and no lock-in clause. If you ever want to bring the work in house or hand it to another developer, the code is yours and it's written to be read.
Book a scoping call
Forty-five minutes, no charge, no obligation. You'll leave with a written summary of what I'd build, roughly what it costs, and an honest answer about whether you need it at all.
I've got it. I'll reply within one business day with a couple of times for the call, from my own email address.
Free 45-minute call. You keep the write-up.
