West Coast • California
Los Angeles runs several distinct economies in parallel: the studio and streaming ecosystem, a creator economy that professionalized into real media businesses, a dense direct-to-consumer brand scene rooted in the apparel and fashion district, and the San Pedro Bay port complex, the busiest container gateway in the Western Hemisphere. Aerospace never left either; SpaceX in Hawthorne and the El Segundo corridor keep a serious engineering base in the region.

// THE MARKET
The common thread across LA's industries is rights, inventory, and deal flow managed in spreadsheets. Production companies track licensing terms and royalty obligations manually. Creator businesses juggle brand deals, deliverables, and payment schedules across email threads. DTC brands outgrow Shopify's data model the moment their catalog or wholesale channel gets complicated. Each of these is a bounded, high-ROI custom build, and the local agency market is oriented toward campaigns and brand sites, not operational software.
// LOCAL CONTEXT
Media licensing is the sharpest example. A mid-size production or media company managing dozens of licensing agreements in spreadsheets has real financial exposure: missed renewal dates, unenforced territory restrictions, royalty terms nobody is reconciling. A licensing tracker with deadlines, obligations, and an audit trail is a few weeks of work and directly protects revenue.

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's included, what isn't, 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
A focused SaaS MVP with auth, billing, and the core feature set typically takes 4 to 8 weeks. The scope document defines exactly what ships in the first version. You get working software, not a prototype.
Yes. Stripe subscriptions, usage-based billing, free trials, upgrade/downgrade flows, dunning, and webhook handling. Billing is one of the most complex parts of any SaaS and I have built it many times.
Multi-tenancy is a core pattern I build into every SaaS from the start. Each tenant gets isolated data with row-level security. Tenants can never see each other's data.
Yes. Most of my client work is fully remote. I'm based in Virginia and serve clients across West 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'll send back a full scope and fixed price within 24 hours. No agency overhead. No middlemen.
