The Journey
Finance. Real estate. Web software. AI-native. Four industries, each with different failure modes to fix. One consistent deliverable: production systems that keep running after I hand them off.
2016–2020
Finance
Started in financial services. Learned how systems fail at scale: compliance gaps, manual processes, legacy tooling. Started building automations to survive the workload.
2020–2022
Real Estate
Moved into real estate tech. Built internal tools to replace broker workflows: intake forms, CRMs, document pipelines. Team output. Solo throughput.
2022–2024
Web & Software
Full-time freelance. Built production apps for startups: SaaS platforms, Discord bots, AI integrations. Lighthouse 100 on delivery. Fixed price, no exceptions.
2024–Now
AI-Native Development
Specializing in AI-native pipelines: MCP orchestration, RAG systems, agentic workflows. Building the coordination layer most teams outsource to three vendors.
How I Work
FIXED PRICING
One price. One deliverable.
You get a number before any work starts. No hourly billing, no scope creep surprises. You pay the other half when it ships.
FAST TIMELINES
Weeks, not quarters.
Marketing sites in 1–2 weeks. Full-stack apps in 4–10 weeks. No Jira standups, no handoffs between frontend, backend, and DevOps. I own the full stack.
PROOF FIRST
Lighthouse 100. No excuses.
Every project ships with performance, accessibility, and SEO baked in. Not bolt-ons. Not audits after the fact. Built-in from the first commit.
Philosophy
Ship it, then improve it.
Launched > perfect. Every app I've built started as a working v1, not a design doc. Scope documents don't surface edge cases. Shipped code does.
Systems over heroics.
The goal is infrastructure that runs without me. Automated tests, CI, monitoring, clear boundaries. Not custom code only I can debug.
Proof over promises.
Lighthouse scores, GitHub activity, live links. Not testimonials from companies I can't name. The work speaks first.

Build in Public
I post what I'm building on X: progress shots, broken builds, shipped milestones. No vague "excited to announce" theater.
@moderngrindtechThe Person
I'm David. You work directly with the developer. I take the call, write the code, and own the delivery. No account manager filtering your questions, no handoff chain slowing your timeline.
Based in Richmond, VA. I keep the queue short: each project gets full attention, not a ticket number.
GitHub Activity
Public. Verifiable.
800+ commits across active repos. No gap years, no quiet periods. Client work, internal tools, and public repos running in parallel.
github.com/actuvas// READY TO BUILD
One developer. Every decision.
No handoffs. No PM layer. You talk to me, I ship it.
