Affordable Custom Software for Small Business.

Software that fits your business — not the other way around.

Hi, I'm Drew. I help small businesses replace broken spreadsheets, automate manual workflows, and build internal tools tailored to how you actually work.

What I Help With

Whether it's replacing a broken spreadsheet, automating something repetitive, or building a tool from scratch — the goal is just less manual work for you.

How It Works

We talk, I figure out what makes sense, and go from there.

1

Understand

A short discovery conversation to understand your workflow, pain points, and goals.

2

Implement

Build, configure, or integrate the right solution—custom development or off-the-shelf tools.

3

Improve

Iterate based on real usage. Optional ongoing support to keep things running and improving.

Case Studies

Real projects, real results. Here's what we've built for clients.

Solutions for:

Platform Customer Coordination Trading Mobile Transaction Operations Incident

Scrap Metal Trading Platform

Built a custom transaction management system for a scrap metal trading company. The platform replaced spreadsheets and manual processes with a single system that tracks purchases, sales, weight tickets, invoices, and payments—accessible from both office computers and mobile devices.

  • Eliminated manual reconciliation between different spreadsheets
  • Gave the team real-time visibility into trading operations
  • Reduced data entry errors significantly

Incident Response Automation

Created an automated incident management system for a Fortune 100 company that coordinates teams, tracks resolution progress, and keeps customers informed—all within Slack. Replaced manual coordination processes with automated workflows.

  • Dramatically reduced time to assemble response teams
  • Ensured customers were kept informed throughout incidents
  • Eliminated manual coordination overhead for support staff

Deployment Coordination System

Built an internal coordination platform for a cloud software company to manage deployments and maintenance across multiple engineering teams. The system prevents scheduling conflicts, automates customer notifications, and integrates directly with deployment pipelines.

  • Eliminated scheduling conflicts between teams
  • Reduced failed deployments and emergency rollbacks
  • Gave support teams accurate, timely information for customer communications

Video Metadata Debugging Tool

Created a debugging toolkit to troubleshoot errors in massive video metadata files for a streaming platform. The tool reduced problem resolution time from hours to minutes and enabled any engineer to solve issues that previously required specialized expertise.

  • Reduced troubleshooting time from 2-3 hours to under 10 minutes
  • Enabled any support engineer to resolve issues that previously required specialists
  • Dramatically improved response times to the client

Common Questions

Things small businesses usually want to know before reaching out.

Is custom software too expensive for small businesses?

No! Cost depends on what you need to build, but many solutions are surprisingly affordable! Where larger systems require more investment, we can prioritize the most valuable features first and expand over time. I prioritize the highest-impact, most cost-effective work so your investment goes as far as possible.

When should my business move beyond spreadsheets?

Spreadsheets are great for small tasks and quick analysis, but they start to break down when they become your core business system. Are you:

  • Using spreadsheets as a database?
  • Relying on manual data entry that leads to mistakes?
  • Repeating the same work across multiple files?
  • Maintaining complex multi-sheet workbooks that only one person understands?
  • Manual file sharing between employees creates confusion and security risks?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, it's probably time to move to a more purpose-built solution.

Can you set up Zapier, Slack, or other tools for my business?

Absolutely. Many small businesses pay for tools like Zapier, Make, Slack, or Notion but never get them fully configured. I set them up properly, build custom workflows and automations, and integrate them with your other systems — so you actually get the value you're paying for.

What's the difference between custom software and off-the-shelf tools?

Off-the-shelf tools can often work well, and I'll tell you if I think one exists that fits your situation. Custom makes sense when there's a gap no existing tool fills — or when you've already tried the tools and spent more time working around them than actually using them.

How does the process work?

You give me a call and tell me what's broken, I ask a few questions, and we go from there. Once I understand your challenge and business, I'll provide a detailed proposal, and work closely with you or your team in implementing it.
