Hi, I'm Spencer

“Seek first to understand, then to be understood.” With over 10 years of experience as a software developer, I adhere to a development process that emphasizes flexibility, exploration, iteration, and collaboration.

I explore problems beyond face value, seeking the bigger picture in collaboration with you. Together, we find the best possible solution that fits within your budget and timeline.

All of my work is driven by the understanding that either myself or someone else will need to work on it later. I make it a priority to leave your system better than I found it, ensuring long-term sustainability and ease of maintenance. If you’re looking for a holistic and flexible approach to software development, let’s talk.
