Ruby on Rails development
New builds, rescue work and upgrades on existing apps — including the payment and security work most teams would rather not touch.
Engagements from $40/hr
I build your software and run the hardware it lives on.
Ruby on Rails development, Unix infrastructure and AI agents — from a shop with its own servers in Atlanta. No middleman, no handoffs, no surprise cloud bill.
What I build
Software that ships, run by the person who wrote it.
One experienced developer end to end — architecture, code, deployment and the server underneath it. Nothing gets thrown over a wall.
Unix & infrastructure
The layer underneath the app: certificates, mail, DNS, firewalls and the networking that keeps all of it reachable.
Engagements from $30/hr
AI agent design
Agents and automations designed around a real workflow, then hosted and maintained on the n8n platform.
Scoped per project — let’s talk
Why this shop
Most shops rent the cloud. I own the rack.
01
Real hardware in Atlanta. Dell servers, redundant power and a private switch — not a reseller account with a logo on it.
02
Hands on the machine. When something breaks at 2am the person debugging it has physical access, not a support ticket.
03
No cloud markup. You pay for the iron, not for three layers of margin on top of someone else’s iron.
Hardware
Host it with me, or don’t.
Every price includes bandwidth, a private interconnect switch and a 2k/mo SMTP account. Bring your own project or let me build it first.

How it works
Three steps, no discovery theatre.
You talk to the person who will do the work, on the first call and every one after.
Tell me the problem
A short call about what you need built, fixed or hosted. No charge, no pitch deck.
Get a scope and a number
A written plan with a real estimate, so you know what you are buying before you buy it.
I build and run it
Code, deployment and the server underneath — handled, with you in the loop throughout.
Let’s talk about what you’re building.
Tell me what you’re working on and I’ll tell you honestly whether I’m the right fit.
