Technical partner to small businesses & nonprofits
Every org needs a technologist -- that's Ghud with software.
Ghud is the technical partner small organizations bring in instead of hiring. Website, newsletter, email accounts, custom software — and whatever else turns out to be technical. One person who learns how you work and stays with it.
Whatever the technical thing is, it lands with me.
These are the requests that come up most — from a page edit to a system built from scratch. The list is not a menu: if it's technical and it's in the way, ask. Selecting a service adds it to the form below.
Selected work
Enterprise experience, at your scale.
Before working with small organizations, I built and led systems for large ones. That's the point: you get the judgment that comes from high-stakes projects, without the headcount, the agency retainer, or the six-month discovery phase.
Nonprofit · Seattle Neighborhood Builders
A web app that became the organization's operating system
Led a digital transformation that began with a custom-built intake application for the organization's largest program — thousands of applicants a year, with logic no off-the-shelf form tool handled on its own. That application became the front end for an organization-wide CRM, customized and connected so departments that had kept separate records began working from shared data. Staff became able to work remotely. During this period the organization was selected for Bank of America's Neighborhood Builders program, and I was named its Emerging Leader for the two-year leadership track that comes with it.
Enterprise Multiple business units
A shared frontend library behind multiple products
Founding maintainer of an enterprise component library that product teams across business units built on. Each team stopped rebuilding the same pieces, and products shipped faster and looked like they came from the same company.
Enterprise Greenfield product
A manual process turned into a revenue stream
Led frontend architecture on a new product that replaced a slow, tedious process for a high-value customer base. Digitizing it removed the bottleneck and opened a line of revenue the business had not been able to serve before.
