Four Industries
Finance to AI-native.
Finance. Real estate. Web software. AI-native. Each with a different failure mode 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
One scope. One price. One person accountable.
FIXED PRICING
One price. One deliverable.
You get a number before any work starts. No hourly billing, no added charges mid-build. 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.
Performance, accessibility, and SEO are built in — not bolted on after delivery. Not one project has shipped below 100.
Philosophy
The rules I don't break.
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.
Automated tests, CI, monitoring, and clear interfaces — built in from day one. It runs after handoff. Your next developer can pick it up without a briefing from me.
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'm posting what I'm building on X: progress shots, broken builds, shipped milestones. No vague "excited to announce" theater.
@moderngrindtechOne Developer
I'm David. I take the call, write the code, and own the delivery. No account manager between you and the code, no handoff chain slowing your timeline.
Based in Richmond, VA. I take on 2–3 projects at a time — no more. That's what keeps timelines accurate and scope commitments real.
GitHub Activity
Public. Verifiable.
2,000+ commits across production repos. Client work, internal tools, and open experiments — every commit timestamped, every change attributed.
github.com/davidolverson// READY TO BUILD
One developer. Every decision.
Tell me what you're building. I'll scope it, price it, and give you a start date — in one message.
