Almost two decades selling and leading delivery of custom software services. I started NexDevTech to build the kind of AI-driven software partner I always wished I could hire.

The agency I always wished I could hire

I've spent almost two decades on the vendor side of IT services — building and leading revenue, pre-sales, account management, and delivery oversight functions at custom software firms ranging from focused boutiques to 1,000+ person organizations. I've sat across the table from hundreds of clients buying enterprise software, AI, IoT (hardware, firmware, apps, and gamification), blockchain and Web3, mobile and web, embedded systems, games, and Salesforce.

I know what frustrates buyers, what patterns predict a failed project, and what separates the vendors that get renewed from the ones clients quietly regret.

NexDevTech is my answer to a gap I've watched widen for years: too many great ideas never get built because traditional services pricing puts serious delivery out of reach. AI changes that — and I started this company specifically to put AI-driven efficiency to work for clients, not just to widen vendor margins.

Three convictions shaped how NexDevTech works

The principles that guide how I run engagements, choose experts, and think about what clients actually deserve from a software partner.

AI is democratizing software delivery — and clients should benefit first

Over almost two decades I've watched too many great ideas die for lack of capital. Disciplined AI-driven development is changing the math: faster timelines, lower real cost, more accessible delivery. At NexDevTech we pass meaningful savings through to clients rather than absorbing them as margin. Same scope, less budget. Or same budget, more scope. Either way, the client comes out ahead.

Process isn't overhead — it's insurance

Most software projects don't fail because the engineers were bad. They fail because discovery was rushed, scope was fuzzy, or risk surfaced too late to fix cheaply. A disciplined delivery process — rigorous discovery, measurable milestones, transparent reporting — is the difference between a project that adjusts and a project that implodes. AI accelerates the work; discipline keeps it on track.

Your vendor should think like a partner, not a contractor

The forward-deployed model I built into NexDevTech puts product managers and engineers inside your business — understanding your goals, constraints, and customers. Building the right thing starts with genuinely caring whether it's right.

Senior attention on every engagement — by design

I personally lead:

  • Every client conversation from first contact through contract
  • Account management and executive communication throughout delivery
  • Expert selection and vetting specific to your engagement
  • Quality and delivery oversight at key milestones

NexDevTech is boutique by design. I don't juggle a dozen accounts in parallel — I run a small number of engagements closely, know the details, and stay involved end-to-end. That's the opposite of the numbers-game model most dev shops run on. It's also the model I always wanted as a buyer, and never found.

A curated network — never a static bench

NexDevTech executes through a curated network of senior product managers, engineers, designers, and architects — not a static bench, and never anonymous freelancers from a marketplace.

The rule is simple: every expert in our network has worked directly with me, or with someone I've worked with closely for years. That's the bar. It's the only way I can vouch for what gets delivered.

Almost two decades running services delivery

I bring almost two decades of experience running the parts of services delivery that determine whether a project succeeds or quietly drifts: client management, scope discipline, quality oversight, and senior judgment about which engagements to take, which people to put on them, and when something needs to change.

  • Hundreds of custom software engagements scoped, contracted, and delivered across funded startups, scaleups, and enterprise organizations — including 10+ Fortune 500 clients
  • Built pre-sales, account management, and delivery oversight functions at multiple IT services firms — the operational backbone that determines whether commitments to clients actually get kept
  • Industry depth across enterprise software, AI, IoT, blockchain and Web3, mobile, web, embedded, games, and Salesforce — enough breadth to recognize patterns across domains, enough depth in each to talk to your engineers and your stakeholders without translation loss
  • Led services firms through major strategic transitions — including a transformation from single-client firmware shop to full-stack IoT consultancy, and a pivot into enterprise blockchain solutions that landed Fortune 500 clients in year one
  • Sat across from hundreds of buyers in financial services, industrial, healthcare, media, consumer, and B2B SaaS — which means I've seen the patterns of what works, what fails, and what gets clients renewed

NexDevTech is the company I built with all of that as the operating manual.

Let's talk

The best fit for NexDevTech is a team that values delivery discipline and senior attention over the lowest rate. If that sounds like what you're after, I'd like to hear what you're trying to build.
