Free custom software consult | 15 minutes
Tell me what you want built. Let's identify the clearest way forward.
Bring the idea, the difficult workflow, or the half-finished prototype. We’ll discuss who will use it, what it needs to do, and what a sensible first version could look like.

We evaluate the fit
We discuss the users, workflow, essential features, constraints, and questions. You leave with a clearer next step, whether or not we work together.
On the call
What helps us evaluate your software needs
The problem and the people
What is difficult today, who experiences it, and who will use the finished software. Every useful project starts with a clear problem and real users.
The software and its context
The workflows, data, users, logins, reports, integrations, or existing prototype involved. We can start with an outcome even if you do not have a technical specification.
A practical next step
Whether the project needs more discovery, a defined first release, a proposal, or a different approach. You will get a direct assessment of what makes sense.
Why take the call with me
I've been doing this since floppy disks held less data than one song in MP3 format
I'm not a coach who found programming last year. I have been writing software for more than four decades, through platform shifts in that span, and I've built for the kind of organizations that don't accept "it mostly works."
- 1981
Started at 14 on a Radio Shack Model III with 16 KB of memory and floppy drives that held 128 KB. First languages: BASIC, IBM DOS 3.0, and DOS batch files.
- The years after
Worked forward through BASIC, Borland Delphi and Pascal, dBASE III, Visual Basic, SQL, HTML, Microsoft SQL Server, C#, and plenty more besides.
- Late 1990s
After about 17 years as a hobbyist, went professional with a software consulting company.
- 2000 - 2015
Founded and ran C Solutions for 15 years, with up to 8 developers across multiple continents and time zones plus 2 marketing people, building software for businesses and government agencies.
- Since then
Senior Developer for a number of companies.
- 2026
Running and leading Vibe Code Now with C Solutions once again.
Built for
Plus a great many small businesses across the United States you have almost certainly never heard of - which, frankly, is where most of the interesting problems live.
Worked in
I love making computers do the mundane and tedious work, and leaving the rest and the best for people to do as they best can in their work, their family, and their lives. That is exactly what I want to help you do and the of point vibe coding.
Start with the problem. We'll plan the software.
You do not need a technical specification. Tell me what you want to accomplish, who it is for, and what is getting in the way.
