I mainly serve established American SaaS companies.  However, you don’t have to be one to use my services.  That’s just the best fit.

• If you sell your software as a product, or write software for others, or your main line of work depends directly in some other way on software you write, you’re probably still a good fit for all of my services.

• If your main line of work depends directly in some other way on software you outsource, you would still be a good fit for roadmapping, to help bidders understand what you need, and my software development services.

• If you write (or outsource) in-house tools that just help with your business, like inventory or appointment management or whatever, or your company is not yet “established” (over three years old, or profitable), then you can still benefit from my software development services, and roadmapping for major efforts.  My other services are aimed more at quality, which generally isn’t as important for internal software, or ideas still being validated.

So why am I targeting “established American SaaS” companies? 

• Companies that are not well established (mainly startups), need to focus on speed and idea validation, which roadmapping can help with, but my other offerings focus mainly on quality.  That helps speed in the long run, but takes a while to have a noticeable effect.

• There is significant additional overhead, on both sides, to dealing with foreign companies.  For a very profitable contract, I might jump through the hoops, but I’m certainly not chasing that market.

• And lastly, SaaS is the space I know best.

Past clients have included:

• Dominion Due Diligence Group, an environmental, engineering, and energy due diligence firm;

• a piece of the US military that prefers not to be named publicly (even though the work was not classified);

• OneDoor, a company with a web app for large retail chains to plan their store layouts for sales campaigns;

• OnLife Health, a comprehensive wellness solutions company;

• a major Internet infrastructure company that prefers not to be named publicly;

• Retrieval Systems, a maker of custom database systems;

• HomeActions, a company with software to let real estate agents maintain their clients’ subscriptions to their snailmail newsletters;

• a major British credit card that prefers not to be named publicly;

• the US Department of Veterans Affairs;

• Department Thirteen, a now-defunct defense contracting company (unrelated to the current holders of that dot-com);

• EasyETFs, a now-defunct Australian startup in the financial space;

• Atomic Broadcast, a now-defunct startup with an idea about social media filtering;

• Liqwid Networks, a now-defunct “Real-Time Enterprise Computing and Communications (RTEC2) technology” software company;

• Send2Fax, an Internet fax-sending company;

• a small voice-response system company whose name I forget (it was literally thirty years ago, and the records have been lost);

• and even longer ago, assorted companies and private individuals who needed PC hardware or software purchased, installed, configured, troubleshot, etc.

If you want to hire me through a staffing agency, I have worked in the past with Synigent Technologies, Toptal (please make sure you include the anchor on that URL, as it’s my referral code), Celerity (now part of Randstad Digital Advisory), and others now defunct.  I am also a member of Gun.io.
