Custom software, built for how your business actually works.

I'm Tanner Kirkendall — a senior software engineer who designs and builds web applications, AI tools, and automations for businesses in Northwest Arkansas and across the country. You work directly with the person writing the code.

How working together goes

  1. Discovery call

    A free conversation about what you're trying to build or fix. If I'm not the right fit, I'll tell you — and point you somewhere better.

  2. Clear proposal

    A written scope with real numbers: what gets built, what it costs, and when it ships. No open-ended hourly mystery.

  3. Build in the open

    You see working software every week, not a big reveal at the end. Feedback gets folded in as we go.

  4. Launch & support

    I handle deployment and handoff, and I'm available for ongoing support — your software doesn't get orphaned.

Software development, rooted in Northwest Arkansas

Northwest Arkansas is full of growing businesses — suppliers, logistics teams, retailers, trades, and startups from Bentonville to Fayetteville — that have outgrown spreadsheets and generic software but aren't ready to hire a full engineering team. That's the gap I fill: senior-level software work, scoped to what your business actually needs.

Being local means we can meet in person, and I understand the vendor and supplier ecosystem this region runs on. And because everything I build ships with modern remote-friendly tooling, I work just as well with clients anywhere in the country.
