East Coast • Virginia
Newport News is defined by Huntington Ingalls Industries, the largest private employer in Virginia and the only builder of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in the United States. The shipbuilding ecosystem radiates outward: precision manufacturing suppliers, defense contractors, engineering firms, and the workforce housing and retail that supports them. The city is industrial in character, which means its software needs are operational, not aesthetic.

// THE MARKET
Newport News businesses don't need pretty websites. They need software that connects their operations: job tracking systems for machine shops, quoting tools for fabrication companies, supplier portals for contractors feeding work to HII. The defense procurement ecosystem generates enormous demand for internal tooling that nobody builds, because the vendors chasing HII contracts are focused on the prime, not the subs.
// LOCAL CONTEXT
Small manufacturing suppliers in the Newport News/Hampton corridor often manage job tracking on spreadsheets because ERP systems cost $50k+ to implement. A focused job-tracking web app can replace that spreadsheet for a fraction of the cost and runs in a browser, no installation needed.
// WHAT WE BUILD

Stack for this service
// PROCESS
15 to 30 minutes. You tell me what you need. I tell you if I can build it, how long it takes, and what it costs. No pitch.
I write a clear scope document: what is included, what is not, timeline, and fixed price. One document. No surprises.
I build in focused sprints with real progress updates. You see working software, not status reports.
Deploy to production. 30 days of post-launch support. Most issues resolved same day.
// FAQ
Every API ships with OpenAPI specification and a Postman collection. For public-facing APIs I build a documentation site with live request examples. Your team can onboard without me being in the room.
Yes. Internal integration APIs are a common project. I scope exactly which systems need to talk to each other, what data flows where, and build the glue layer that makes it work.
Yes. GraphQL for data-heavy applications where clients need flexible querying. REST for most other cases. I recommend the right approach based on your use case, not personal preference.
Yes. Most of my client work is fully remote. I am based in Virginia and serve clients across East Coast. Everything is async-friendly: scoping, updates, and delivery all happen over documented channels so you always know where things stand. Same-day responses during business hours.
Tell me what you need. I will send back a full scope and fixed price within 24 hours. No agency overhead. No middlemen.
