East Coast • North Carolina
The Research Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill) is one of the more technically dense regions in the Southeast. IBM, Cisco, Red Hat, and SAS have large presences here, alongside three major research universities and a biotech cluster that's grown steadily since the 1990s. The startup scene that has grown up around this infrastructure is among the strongest outside of New York, Boston, and the Bay Area.

// THE MARKET
Triangle founders and technical buyers have high standards. They've worked at or alongside companies that ship real software, and they know the difference between a developer who can build a landing page and one who can architect a production system. What they are looking for, and often struggle to find at the right price point, is senior technical judgment without an agency billing model.
// LOCAL CONTEXT
SaaS is the dominant startup model in the Triangle. Founders here are not building brick-and-mortar tools. They are building products for other businesses. The typical ask is "help me go from validated idea to deployed MVP" in a timeframe that doesn't require raising a seed round first.
// WHAT WE BUILD
Custom e-commerce that actually converts. Not Shopify themes. Built for your specific product catalog, pricing model, and customer journey.
// WHY MGT

Not demos. Real apps running with real users. Regal Title, eXp Black Lion, InflexTech, 2K Service Plug, and more.

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
Shopify works until it does not. Custom stores win when you need pricing models Shopify cannot handle, integrations that require server-side logic, or performance that Shopify themes cannot deliver. If Shopify fits your needs, I will tell you.
Stripe handles all card data. Your server never touches raw card numbers. PCI compliance is handled at the Stripe layer. I implement Stripe's recommended security practices including idempotency keys and webhook signature verification.
Yes. Stripe Connect handles multi-party payments with automatic splits and seller payouts. I have built marketplace systems before and know the edge cases around payout timing, refunds, and dispute handling.
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.
