East Coast • DC
DC clients span a wide range: policy nonprofits, federal contractors, lobbying shops, association management organizations, and a growing crop of govtech startups. The professional services culture here demands polished, reliable software. Anything that looks like it was built over a weekend reflects on the organization using it. Budget expectations are higher than most markets, and the decision-making process usually involves multiple stakeholders.

// THE MARKET
The DC market is less price-sensitive than most and more quality-sensitive. An association with 50,000 members running a member portal on NationBuilder is losing credibility with its members and paying six figures a year for functionality that a purpose-built application would do better. Federal contractors running SharePoint portals for client deliverables are leaving significant amounts of billable efficiency on the table.
// LOCAL CONTEXT
Virginia-based contractors working on federal programs often need software that handles CMMC-adjacent data hygiene: audit trails, access controls, role separation, and exportable logs. That's different from building a marketing site, and most DC-area web shops aren't equipped to handle it.
// WHAT I BUILD
Custom e-commerce that actually converts. Not Shopify themes. Built for your specific product catalog, pricing model, and customer journey.

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'm 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.
