Building cool sh*t for people doing good work.

Your project, your call.

Two ways to do this, and you pick. I host it, monitor it, update it, and you never think about it again. Or you own all of it: the code in your repo, the hosting in your accounts, documentation written as we go, and I am there when you want me and gone when you do not.

Most shops only offer the first one, because the second one makes you easy to lose.

Bigger projects bring in designers, product people, and other developers I have worked with for years. What you never get is an account manager standing between you and the work, relaying your question to whoever can actually answer it.

Embedded senior capacity for agencies with more work than developers and no appetite for another full-time hire. One developer or a small team, depending on what the job needs. White-label or co-branded, your name on the work, and I stay off your client calls unless you want me on them.

Hi, I'm Sean.

I started building websites in college in 2006, because the people around me kept paying for sites they could not update themselves. Twenty years later that is still the job.

After college I became the WordPress developer agencies called when a project actually mattered. They stopped treating me like a vendor and started putting me on their client calls. Some of those relationships are past ten years now.

Then I spent seven years at the National Organization for Rare Disorders. I also have family living with rare disease. So I know what it looks like from inside an institution, and I know what it looks like at eleven at night when the person doing the caregiving has nothing left. KISHO and SODAL Coach came out of that.

I took rarediseases.org from 800,000 visitors a month to two million at its peak. I also built their intranet, and the community app the Centers of Excellence still use. Patients looking for answers at midnight, staff who needed the thing to just work, clinicians across dozens of centers. Same building, three completely different users.

I want to work for organizations that make life better for someone.

Give me the tangled stuff. A process nobody can explain anymore, held together by one tired person and a spreadsheet they are afraid to touch. I like pulling that apart and leaving behind something that still works when I am not around.

The rest of the time: motorcycles, camping, beer, punk rock. Above all my kids and my family.

Got something interesting?

Tell me what you're trying to build, roughly what you can spend, and when you need it. If I'm the wrong person for it, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
