Austin-Based Software Development

I'm Mike Michaels, and I've been building software for over 20 years. I live here in Austin—have for 25 years—and I work directly with local businesses to build custom tools that solve real problems.

No offshore teams. No project managers playing telephone. You work with me directly, and I build what you need.

What I Build for Austin Businesses

  • Internal tools: Dashboards, admin panels, workflow systems
  • Automations: Connect systems, automate data flows, eliminate manual work
  • Integrations: Make your software talk to each other
  • Software replacements: Replace expensive subscriptions with focused tools
  • Web applications: Customer portals, booking systems, custom apps

AI-Powered or Traditional

Some projects benefit from AI—document processing, content generation, intelligent automation. Others just need solid, well-built software. I'll recommend what makes sense and be honest when AI isn't the right fit.

Why Work With a Local Developer?

  • Meet in person to discuss your project
  • Direct communication, no intermediaries
  • Ongoing support from someone who's not going anywhere
  • Understanding of Austin business needs
  • Accountability—my reputation is local
