I'm Todd Smith — a Lead Software Engineer at Disney with a Ph.D. in mathematics and 40+ apps I've designed, built, and shipped solo. The portfolio on this site isn't a pitch deck — it's proof. Yours could be next.
You don't need another agency that bills six months of meetings and hands you a half-built prototype. You don't need a junior freelancer you have to manage line by line. And you really don't need a cheap "vibe-coded" app that falls over the moment real users show up.
You need someone who has shipped real products — repeatedly, end to end — and can do it again for you. Someone who writes the code, makes the calls, and gets a working thing into users' hands. That's the entire job. That's what I do.
Fixed scope, fixed price, real deliverables. Start small and low-risk, then scale up once you see how I work.
A fast, low-risk way to find out what to build and what it'll take — before anyone commits to a big project.
Best for: anyone who wants a straight answer and a plan they own — whether or not they hire me to build it.
Your idea, built and shipped. One focused product — web or mobile — taken from spec to a working, deployed app you own.
Best for: founders who need a real MVP in front of users or investors — fast.
One production-ready AI feature integrated into your existing product — chatbot on your docs, voice agent, AI reports, summaries.
Best for: SMBs and teams that want one AI feature done properly, not a science project.
Not sure which fits? Most projects sort themselves out in a 30-minute call. Pricing scales with scope — these are starting points, locked in writing before we begin.
Lead Software Engineer at Disney, Ph.D. in mathematics, 28 years building software. The level of engineering that runs at scale — applied to your project.
TalkTest, MiniNews, Think2Link, Engineering Report — live, working products I designed, built, and shipped solo. Most consultants show you logos. I show you software you can open right now.
I use a modern AI-assisted development pipeline — funded on my own dime — to move at a pace that surprises people, without cutting corners. You pay for the working product, not the hours.
Every one of these went from idea to live. That's not a portfolio — it's a track record.
Tell me what you're trying to build — the idea, the half-finished project, or just the problem. I'll give you a straight read on what it takes to make it real, and tell you honestly whether I'm the right person for it. No pitch deck, no pressure, no "let me loop in our solutions team."
I read every inquiry myself and reply within 1–2 business days.
