Why Work With Me
Based in Kingston, New York, I work with businesses across the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. on custom websites, advanced functionality, and complex WordPress projects.
I have been building custom digital solutions for over 35 years, including serving as a CTO and leading development teams. That experience helps me make strong decisions early, avoid expensive missteps, and build stable systems that solve real business problems instead of creating new ones.
Depth for Complex Projects
When a website needs custom workflows, integrations, portals, advanced forms, or business-specific functionality, I know how to structure and build it properly. That includes custom websites, broader web applications, and higher-end WordPress plugin work.
Efficient, Reliable Execution
Time is money. I build projects that are stable, practical, and built for real use without unnecessary complexity. The goal is a solution you can trust, extend, and keep using as the business grows.
No Costly Re-Dos
"Cheap" shortcuts often lead to expensive fixes later. I take the time to plan and build things correctly the first time so you're not paying to revisit the same problems down the road. Your investment pays off with reliable, long-term performance.
Clear, Honest Communication
You'll never be left in the dark. I provide regular updates and plain-English explanations of what's happening—no tech jargon, no guesswork. You'll know exactly where your project stands and what to expect next.
A Partner You Can Trust
I don't just build and disappear—I'm invested in your success. Whether you need ongoing support, new features, or help extending what we've built, I'll be there to ensure your website or application continues to perform at its best.
Proven Results
From custom websites with advanced workflows to WordPress plugins and larger platform work, I've helped clients streamline processes, automate tasks, and unlock growth. Check out my portfolio to see the kinds of problems I help solve.

I call him my "super developer" — the guy I know I can call when I'm dealing with any complex coding or server migration stuff. Now I can say YES with confidence when clients ask for a custom feature on their website — because even if I can't figure it out in the end, I know Michael is on hand to help me out!

"Michael was able to jump into a potentially messy project mid stream, and get it back on track fast! Everyone was thrilled with how quickly and efficiently he works!"

"We've been working with Michael for some time now on various WordPress websites that require an in-depth technical skillset. From projects that have a deep tech stack, to projects with very specific requirements, we've partnered with him and had some amazing success. I never worry if the technical needs are being handled properly or on-time because he's always got them taken care of before I even have a chance to look."

The Infrastructure Behind Strong Custom Work
These are not separate headline offers, but they are part of why complex website, plugin, and platform projects go more smoothly when we work together.
Server Management
From setting up secure hosting environments to maintaining reliable infrastructure, I can handle the server-side foundation behind custom websites and applications.
Network Services
DNS, email setup, Cloudflare, and related systems matter more than most businesses realize. I can help make sure the broader environment around your site is stable and secure.
Performance & Security Audits
If a site or platform is underperforming, I can identify bottlenecks, tighten security, and improve reliability so the core project performs the way it should.
Custom Integrations
Connecting websites, WordPress, third-party tools, and custom backends is a major part of the work I do. Good integrations reduce manual work and make the whole system more useful.
