I'm Brandon, a full-stack developer who builds websites, web applications, and SaaS products for B2B companies that want a developer who thinks like an operator, not just an order-taker. Most of my work falls into three areas: Custom web applications and SaaS products. Full-stack builds from MVP through scale, including the database design, integrations, and infrastructure decisions that determine whether a product survives its first 100 customers. I've built complete vertical SaaS products solo, including product, marketing site, payments, and the entire stack, so I understand what it takes to ship something that actually works in the real world. WordPress development for B2B and marketing-driven businesses. Custom themes and plugins, third-party API integrations, performance optimization, and the kind of technical SEO work that actually moves rankings instead of checking boxes. I've worked on everything from professional services sites and lead-generation builds to 5,000+ product eCommerce solutions, and I've spent enough time inside WordPress to know when it's the right tool and when you're better off with something else. Technology that supports sales, marketing, and operations. CRM integrations, marketing automation, analytics dashboards, internal tools, and the connective tissue that lets non-technical teams move faster. This is where my background really pays off, because I've run marketing for a B2B SaaS company while shipping the code, so I understand both sides of the conversation. Beyond the build: What makes me different from most developers on Upwork is that I haven't only built products. I've been responsible for the business outcomes they drive. I've led marketing and sales growth for companies across multiple industries (both B2B and B2C), owned operational technology end-to-end, and personally set up and managed the email campaigns, paid ad campaigns, and marketing automation that the systems I build are meant to support. That experience changes how I approach client work. When you describe a feature, I'm thinking about how it affects your conversion rate, your sales cycle, your support load, and your operational overhead, because I've been the person responsible for all of those numbers. When you ask me to build a landing page or a CRM integration or an email-capture flow, I'm not guessing what marketers need. I've been the marketer. Most developers can build what you ask for. Fewer can tell you whether you're asking for the right thing. What clients tell me sets me apart: I think about why we're building something before I write code. When you describe a business problem, I'm not waiting for you to translate it into a spec. I'll often push back on the spec. That makes me a better fit for founders and operators who want a technical partner, and a worse fit for clients who want a pair of hands to execute exactly what's in the ticket. I'm also unusual in that I can talk shop with both the marketing team and the engineering team, which matters more than people realize on projects where the two have to actually work together. Who I work best with: Small to mid-sized B2B companies, with particular strength in SaaS, professional services, and compliance-heavy industries Founders building their first or second product Marketing, sales, and operations leaders who need a technical partner who can also think strategically B2B teams that have tried to hire a "WordPress person" and realized they actually need someone more senior Tech I work in daily: PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, WordPress (deep), MongoDB, MySQL, REST APIs, and the various platforms and integrations that connect them. How I work: I take on a small number of clients at a time so each project gets real attention. Most start as a defined project and grow into something longer-term once we've built trust. That's the model I'm built for. If your project is a strong fit, I can usually start within a week. If you're looking for the cheapest developer on Upwork, I'm not the right person. If you want a technical partner who'll treat your business like one, push back when it matters, and ship work that holds up, let's talk.
