Custom mobile & web apps

Capture it right.From the start.

Good data starts in the field. When the information you need lives on a job site, a shop floor, or a clipboard, I build the mobile or web app that captures it cleanly—structured from the first tap.

Why this matters

You can’t analyze
what nobody wrote down.

Every dashboard, knowledge base, and automation depends on useful input. Sometimes that information is still in a text message, a photo on someone’s phone, or a form filled out three different ways. That’s when a purpose-built app earns its keep.

Fields that match the next step

Required values, pick-lists, and photos attached to the right item—captured in the shape the estimate or report needs.

Straight into your systems

Connect field entries to your database, job record, or knowledge base, where supported access is available.

Built around the actual job

Follow the order your team works in, skip what doesn’t apply, and plan for offline capture when the work requires it.

An example · Upsurv

From site survey to estimate.
Without the clipboard.

I built Upsurv for an elevator WBO service company: a mobile app that guides the surveyor through the building, keeping photos and findings with the right equipment and questions.

Submitted surveys feed an AI estimating assistant. The estimator reviews the price, adjusts markup, and handles unusual requirements. The app and estimate generation are in production; proposal generation and document delivery are the next expansion.

When it makes sense

Not every problem needs an app.
Some really do.

If a spreadsheet, an off-the-shelf tool, or a simple form does the job, I’ll tell you. I build custom when the work is specific enough that nothing generic fits.

  1. 01

    The data is collected away from a desk

    Surveys, inspections, deliveries, service calls—anything that happens on site, often with poor signal.

  2. 02

    The same information gets entered twice

    Once in the field, again at the office. The second entry creates room for errors and delays.

  3. 03

    Generic forms keep getting bent out of shape

    Workarounds, “other” boxes, and notes fields carrying the information that actually matters.

  4. 04

    A small internal tool would unblock a team

    A web app for scheduling, approvals, or tracking that your current systems don’t cover.

How I build

Working screens early.
Refined together.

Mobile or web, native or browser—I recommend the simplest approach that fits the devices, connectivity, and features the work requires. You review real, clickable screens before anything is finalized.

  1. 01

    Map the task with the people doing it

    Start to finish, in the order the work really happens. What gets captured, what gets decided, and where it goes next.

  2. 02

    Interactive preview, then refine

    A clickable prototype your team can try on their own devices. We adjust it around the actual workflow.

  3. 03

    Build and connect

    Connect the app to your database, job system, or knowledge base, with access scoped to what it needs.

  4. 04

    Test on real devices, then roll out

    Try it in the field, not just the office. Agree on who supports it and how it changes over time.

A few things you
may be wondering.

Mobile app or web app — which do I need?

It depends on the devices, connectivity, and features the work requires. Field capture with photos and spotty signal usually points to mobile; office coordination and approvals usually point to a web app. I recommend the simplest approach that fits the task.

Can it connect to our other systems?

Yes, where supported access is available. Connections to your database, job system, or knowledge base are scoped alongside the app so it only touches what it needs.

Can I review it as it’s built?

Yes. Reviewing working screens and real workflows with your team is central to how I build. You’ll try it on your own devices well before it’s finished.

Do you build apps for app stores?

Only when the job calls for it. Most field tools are deployed privately to your team’s devices, which keeps rollout simple and avoids public listing.
