Who you would be working with

12 years shipping software, 5 leading a studio.

Not an agency you brief and wait on, and not a contractor you manage. The person who scopes the work, decides the architecture, builds it, and stays accountable for whether it still works a year later.

The long version

I build software and run the marketing around it, which is an unusual combination and the reason most of my work arrives through referral rather than search.

Twelve years shipping software. Five of those leading DigiBenders, a studio based in New Brunswick, Canada, working with clients across Canada and the United States. Before the studio, the same work under my own name.

The work

Custom software, not configured software

Web and mobile applications, SaaS platforms, multi-vendor marketplaces, customer and vendor portals, and the integrations that hold them together. Laravel, Next.js, React, Node, PHP, MySQL and Postgres, deployed and maintained rather than handed over and forgotten. The engagements that reach me are usually the ones where an off-the-shelf platform has run out of room and enterprise licensing cannot be justified.

The other half

AI systems that run in production

Custom AI agents, voice interfaces, retrieval pipelines and automation built around how a business actually operates. AI receptionists that answer around the clock and route enquiries into a CRM. Lead scoring pipelines. Workflow automation through n8n and Make. Not chatbot resale, and not demos: systems that keep working when nobody is watching them.

Why both

The gap most firms fall into

A marketing agency cannot build a portal. A development shop will not run your search campaigns or write your positioning. Firms end up buying both, plus an SEO vendor and someone on ads, and discover that nobody owns whether any of it works together. I close that gap, which is the whole reason clients consolidate onto one engagement rather than four.

How I work

One point of accountability

I scope the work, make the architectural decisions, and stay on it after launch. A team executes underneath me on larger engagements, but the person you spoke to on the first call is the person answering when something breaks. No account managers, no handoffs, and everything ends up in your name: code, infrastructure, accounts, documentation.

Where

Canadian studio, clients on both sides of the border

Based in New Brunswick and working across Atlantic Canada, Ontario, the Prairies, British Columbia and the United States. Time zones line up with North American clients, work happens in your business hours, and the money stays in Canada. Some clients have never met me in person; others are twenty minutes away.
