Custom Software Development in Fort Lauderdale
I build the app your operation runs on. Intake, scheduling, records, user roles, the reporting a spreadsheet stopped handling two years ago. Builds start at $5,000 against a written spec. I am in Fort Lauderdale and most of the work is remote.
What I build
- Web applications: customer portals, booking and scheduling systems, dashboards, and line-of-business apps your team uses every day.
- Internal tools: replacing the spreadsheet that became a system with intake, tracking, reporting, and approvals in one place.
- Workflow & automation: connecting the software you already use and eliminating manual re-entry between systems.
- Desktop tools: fast, native utilities when the browser isn't the right home for the job.
Why custom instead of off-the-shelf
Off-the-shelf software makes you adapt to its assumptions. That works until it doesn't. The workarounds pile up, the exports turn manual, and the per-seat bill climbs past what the tool gives back. Custom flips it. The system matches your process, you own the source, and a new feature is a conversation with me instead of a vote on a vendor's roadmap.
How I work
Every project starts with one call and a written plan: what I am building, how long it takes, what it costs. Focused tools take two to four weeks. Larger applications run six to twelve. You see working software early rather than a reveal at the end, and delivered work carries a 30 day warranty. There is no account manager between us. You email me.
React on the front end, Python and Rust where they fit, PostgreSQL or SQL Server underneath. I use AI assistance to move faster and still read every line that ships. The database layer is not an afterthought here. I spent 15 years as a DBA before I built applications, so the schema under your app is designed to hold up at ten times the rows. Need that on its own? See my database consulting service.
Who it's for
Owner-run businesses, clinics and recovery organizations, and small teams anywhere in the U.S., with a home base in Fort Lauderdale for businesses that want a local developer in Broward, Miami-Dade, or Palm Beach they can actually get on the phone.
