My video hosting
The useful part of a video platform.
A focused system for my video library, playback, and embeds. Built around how I publish, rather than everything a video platform might offer.

Custom software, built around you
Your software should fit your work.Not the other way around.
You know what you need to do. Your software has other ideas.
I design and build focused software around the way you actually work. For you, your team, or your business. Keep the parts you need. Skip the rest.
Brands I’ve worked with.
- Amazon
- GoDaddy
- Full Focus
- Platform University
- Harvest House Publishers
- Wyatt North Publishers
- Advanced Custom Fields (ACF)
- Delicious Brains
- SpinupWP
- FILMPAC
Off the rack isn’t
your only option.
Most software has to serve a lot of people. That means features you never use, settings you never touch, and a workflow you have to learn before you can get anything done.
Think of it like having a suit tailored. You’re not changing your shape to fit whatever is on the rack. The thing is made to fit you.
Software can work the same way. Whether you run a company of a thousand or a company of one, we can focus on the particular job you need done, the people doing it, and what would make their day easier.
The thinking behind my own tools
Build the part
you actually need.
Not every feature of a giant platform. The useful part, made simpler and better suited to the person using it.
If you’ve seen that approach in my work and thought, “I wish someone would do this for my setup,” that’s what this page is for.

My custom admin
My content. My way of managing it.
Instead of fitting my publishing workflow into WordPress, a custom admin built around the content and tasks I actually need to manage.

Explore MightyDashWhat that could mean for you
It doesn’t need to be a big app.
It needs to be useful.
We might replace a tool, connect the ones you already use, or build just the missing piece. The right answer isn’t always starting over.
A client portal
That follows your process, not someone else’s idea of it.
An internal tool
That replaces the spreadsheet everyone is afraid to touch.
A publishing system
Without a pile of plugins between you and your content.
The missing piece
That connects the tools you like and removes the work between them.
An investment in a better fit
Your attention has
better places to be.
You could take this on yourself. Or ask your team to fit it around the work they already have. But you may have better uses for that time and attention.
Hiring me means investing in someone who can understand the problem, shape the solution, and handle the design and development. This is tailored work, not a budget build.
Less software.
More of what matters.
Focused scope can reduce ongoing software costs. But the value isn’t just fewer subscriptions. It’s a tool that fits, less time spent working around it, and a build you don’t have to take on yourself.
We’ll look at the project investment, hosting, and upkeep alongside what a better fit would be worth to you.
From friction to something useful
Bring the problem.
We’ll figure out the software.
01
Start with how you work.
Show me what you use now, what keeps getting in the way, and what a better day would look like. You don’t need a technical specification.
02
Find the useful solution.
I’ll help separate the essentials from the extras, shape the workflow, and put a design or working prototype in front of you before we commit to the full build.
03
Build it. Put it to work.
I handle design and development, with your feedback throughout. Before launch, we’ll agree on hosting, ongoing care, and what happens when your needs change.
Hey, I’m Thomas
One person who can think it through and build it.
I’m a designer, engineer, and founder based in Boise, Idaho. I’ve spent more than 20 years moving between design and code, building client projects and products of my own.
Making something smaller isn’t just deleting features. It’s understanding the job, deciding what belongs, and making the result feel good to use. You work directly with me, wherever you’re based.
