Built from Scratch, Built to Last

Not every project starts with a broken codebase. Some start with a blank slate and need to be built right the first time. Custom software at 84EM means greenfield builds scoped against real requirements, architected for the long term, and shipped by a principal engineer.

We handle the full lifecycle: requirements gathering, architecture, development, deployment, and handoff. No junior developers. No offshore handoffs. One principal engineer from start to finish.

CLIENT_REVIEW

Andrew partnered with my team to build a custom learning platform tailored to our unique needs. We specifically appreciated his expertise balanced with creativity and practicality. When presented with a new project, Andrew created multiple approach options that we could configure as necessary. He delivered work on budget and on schedule, and, on top of it all, is thoroughly enjoyable to work with!

One Engineer, Start to Finish

Most agencies assign a project manager who relays messages to a rotating team of developers. The person who scoped the project is not the person who builds it. Details get lost. Quality drops. Timelines slip.

Every 84EM engagement is handled directly by a principal engineer. The person who architects the solution is the same person who writes the code, deploys it, and hands it off.

What We Build

Web Platforms

Customer-facing applications, membership portals, marketplaces, and SaaS products. Full-stack builds with authentication, payment processing, admin panels, and the infrastructure to support production traffic.

API Integrations

Connecting CRMs, ERPs, payment processors, shipping providers, and third-party services into unified data pipelines. Custom middleware, webhooks, and sync logic built to handle real-world edge cases.

WordPress Plugins

Bespoke solutions for your business. AI, integrations, automation, and custom functionality. We can make WordPress do just about anything.

Headless & Static Sites

Performance-first architectures using Hugo, Next.js, and headless CMS platforms. Content-driven sites that load fast, rank well, and cost almost nothing to host.

How We Work

01

Discovery & Scoping

Direct conversation with the engineer who builds it. Requirements, technical constraints, stack selection, and a project plan with concrete deliverables and a realistic timeline.

02

Architecture

Scalable architecture tailored to your platform, hosting environment, and performance requirements. No vague estimates. No scope that quietly expands.

03

Development & Testing

Built to industry coding standards with comprehensive automated and manual testing. Error handling, logging, monitoring, and CI/CD pipelines are part of the build, not afterthoughts.

04

Documentation & Handoff

Complete code documentation, deployment instructions, and direct knowledge transfer. Handled by a principal engineer with 31 years of experience -- the same person who built it.

Any company looking for his services would be very lucky to have him on their team!
