Built around your business
Two ways to move your software forward
When the backlog grows or an important application needs attention, bring in experienced help that works with your existing systems and people.
Own a business application
Get ongoing development and maintenance when a full internal team does not fit your business. Work directly with a senior engineer to keep your application reliable and improve it as your needs change.
SQL Server
Slow queries, unreliable reports and manual reconciliation hold teams back. Put over 20 years of database experience to work improving SQL Server performance and the workflows that depend on it.
Microsoft Access
Maintain the Access tools your business relies on, improve data quality and plan a practical migration when your workflows outgrow them.
C# & VB.NET Applications
Extend and maintain the .NET applications your team uses every day. Turn business requirements into practical web applications, workflow improvements and maintainable code.
Legacy .NET Modernization
Improve aging applications in manageable steps. Assess dependencies, reduce technical debt and modernize the parts that matter while protecting existing business workflows.
Cloud Development
Plan and deliver cloud improvements in Azure or AWS where they fit your application, operational needs and budget.
Desktop Applications
Support and improve desktop applications that keep daily operations running, from data entry and tracking to reporting and specialized workflows.
ERP, API & EDI Integration
Connect your ERP, business applications and external partners. Reduce duplicate entry, manual CSV transfers and disconnected processes with integrations built around your operations.
Ways to work together
A clear starting point. A defined outcome.
Start with a plan, deliver one valuable improvement, or build an ongoing partnership.
Application assessment
Review architecture, dependencies, technical debt and delivery bottlenecks.
The outcome: a prioritized improvement plan through a paid, fixed-scope engagement.
Delivery pilot
Complete one valuable integration, workflow improvement or focused modernization project.
The outcome: an agreed deliverable with clear acceptance criteria, tests and documentation.
Monthly development partnership
Maintain a prioritized backlog with agreed delivery capacity, regular releases and progress reporting.
Clear expectations: support hours, incident handling, concurrent work and exclusions are agreed in advance.
Fixed fees for well-defined work. Monthly retainers for reserved capacity. Hourly discovery when the scope needs investigation.
How delivery works
AI-assisted execution. Senior engineering accountability.
AI helps accelerate delivery where appropriate. Jonathan remains accountable for understanding your systems, reviewing the work and delivering maintainable software.
Your systems, your control
Agree on approved AI tools and data handling before work begins. Keep client repositories, credentials, data and AI workspaces separate.
Review before release
Build testing and human review into delivery, with acceptance criteria and a deployment plan appropriate to each change.
Knowledge that stays with you
Keep code and documentation in client-owned systems, with release notes and handoff information that make maintenance easier.
Software Previews
Software built for daily operations
Data entry portals, dashboards, shipment tracking and reporting: practical applications shaped around the way a business works.
