Full-stack web, desktop and mobile apps developer.

Creative Software by NEL

WriteLite

A writing app engineered for speed, focus and flow.

Most writing software clutters the UI, starts too slowly, or insists on keeping your files in a format it controls. WriteLite will not.

I Help Develop your Idea into a Real Product

Idea

Book a consultation where we can flesh out your idea.

  • Focus on the essentials
  • Figure out what is necessary and what will waste you time and money
  • Get realistic about the technical constraints and estimated costs

This results in a list of technical requirements and a realistic understanding of what it might cost to build your website or application.

Design

This is where your idea becomes fully realised.

  • Translate your business goals into features
  • Perform user research and develop UI/UX for your customers
  • Understand the flow of the software and test ideas before committing to a build

This results in a written scope, interactive prototype and feature list for a developer.

Build

I turn your idea into a reality. Results in a fully deployed website or application. You own the source code.

Developed in phases

  • Initial Build Testing
  • Beta Build Delivery and Testing Phase 1 (your device)
  • Beta Build Delivery and Testing Phase 2 (all platforms)
  • Publishing

On-going maintenance and hosting available. Development is quoted per project. Available for both independent and collaborative work.

Who is NEL?

I’m a software developer with 12 years of hands-on experience. I started with game development in C++ and have since built websites, desktop apps, and mobile apps. That range lets me choose the right kind of solution for your needs instead of forcing the same tool onto every job.

What can NEL do for you?

Every business needs software. Not every business needs to spend big bucks to build and maintain it.

  • I can help to design your idea with realistic expectations and a clear plan
  • I build websites for small businesses, creatives and entrepreneurs
  • I build cross-platform applications for both desktop and mobile

Human Intelligence

Deploy with confidence that your software is modern, robust and has a human in control. Computers are fast, but they don't understand our emotional experiences and the problems we all face day-to-day. Talk to a human who comprehends, not an LLM that guesses.

I provide consultation on the ever evolving subject of AI and the role it could play in your business.
