Software consulting & development
Good software takes work.
It should still be fun.
Hyper Dog Solutions is my independent software shop. I help teams untangle complicated software, modernize aging systems, and ship products without slowing the business down.

Services
Engineering Leadership
A senior technical voice when you need one — setting direction, mentoring engineers, and keeping architecture decisions honest, whether for a few months or a single hard problem.
Application Development
Design and build of web applications and services, from first prototype to production. Pragmatic stacks, working software, code you can maintain after I'm gone.
Systems Review
A clear-eyed look at an existing system: architecture, reliability, security posture, and cost. You get findings you can act on, ranked by what actually matters.
Process Improvement
Delivery pipelines, code review habits, incident handling, and planning that fits your team instead of fighting it.
Selected work
A couple of client projects I'm proud of.
Investor Auto-Invest Platform
Rebuilt an aging codebase so it could grow again, added automatic diversification, and shipped investor features people actually noticed.
Architecture Rescue
Took over a large production system whose development had slowed to a crawl, simplified architecture, reduced technical debt, and restored predictable delivery.
Projects
Apps I'm building and running under the Hyper Dog roof.
List Exchange
A site and mobile app for sharing wish lists with the family. Also provides a way to reserve items on those lists to prevent duplicates and generates a post-event thank you card list.
Secret Sharing
An encrypted, self-destructing way to hand off passwords and other secrets without leaving them in chat history.
About the name
Zeke was a hyper dog. He was also the best friend a person could ask for, and the reason this company exists: a reminder to enjoy the work, even when — especially when — it takes real effort.
Hyper Dog Solutions is where that spirit lives on: an independent LLC for consulting engagements and side projects, built and run with the kind of enthusiasm Zeke brought to everything.
The short version:
- 15+ years shipping production software and leading engineering teams.
- At home in Rails, Python, Postgres, VueJS, React Native, and cloud platforms.
- Numerous projects focusing on codebase modernization, performance optimization, and maintainability.
- How I work: small bets, steady momentum, systems you can actually observe.
