The Problem
Sometimes no existing software fits your operational needs:
- Unique workflows: Your processes don’t match how standard tools expect you to work
- Integration requirements: You need a system that connects to your specific stack
- Industry-specific needs: Generic tools lack features essential to your domain
- Legacy replacement: Aging internal systems need modern, maintainable replacements
- Operational gaps: Critical processes run on spreadsheets and manual workarounds
Forcing operations into ill-fitting software creates friction. Building custom internal systems removes it.
How I Solve It
I build internal systems designed around your actual workflows:
Workflow Analysis
- Map existing processes and pain points
- Identify what’s working and what creates friction
- Define requirements based on how work actually happens
- Design for the people who will use the system daily
System Architecture
- Modern web application architecture (PHP, Node.js, or appropriate stack)
- Database design for your specific data structures
- API-first design enabling future integrations
- Role-based access control matching your organization
User Experience
- Interfaces designed for your users’ daily tasks
- Mobile-responsive for field or remote access
- Fast, responsive interactions without page reload delays
- Training and documentation for adoption
