Full-stack developer · Maine · 20+ years

If it’s digital, I can build it.

I’m Rick. Carpenters, welders, ranches, venues and founders hire me for websites that look sharp on a phone, software that runs the back office, and automations that take the busywork off their plate. I make games, apps, video and voice-over too. The only real limits are imagination and budget.

AI listing and profit tools for eBay resellers

Built for the trades

Your customers find you on a phone, standing in a driveway. Every site I build puts your number one tap away and is built to load fast on a weak signal.

  1. Marketing sites for trades and local businesses. Fast on a phone, easy to find, and built so the next call is one tap away.

  2. Booking systems, ticketing, client portals, dashboards and full SaaS products, from the database up.

  3. AI that answers the phone, jobs that bill and remind on schedule, two-way syncs with QuickBooks and calendars, and tools that write the listing for you.

  4. Browser games with real-time multiplayer, Unreal Engine work, and phone apps that use the sensors in your pocket.

  5. Sites organized the way people actually search, with a page for every service and every town you work in, and guides that answer questions before they call.

  6. AI-made video series and ads, voice-over from horror to sports play-by-play, and eight self-published books.

Don’t see it here? Ask. If it’s digital, there’s usually a way.

Rick, smiling, in a gray blazer

One person, start to finish

I’ve been building for the web for more than 20 years: e-commerce stores, dashboards, CRMs, booking systems, games, and the automations that tie them together.

There is no account manager in the middle. The person you talk to is the person who designs it, writes the code, and picks up the phone after launch.
