About Me

Hey, I'm Joseph Sawyer. I build custom software for businesses and side projects I find interesting.

My Journey

SawyerSoftware LLC is my first company. When you work with us, you're working directly with the people actually building your software. No middlemen, no handoffs.

I started this because I kept seeing businesses struggle with off-the-shelf software that almost worked but never quite fit. I figured we could build something better, something that actually matches how you work instead of forcing you to adapt.

We keep things lean and focused. You'll get quick responses, straightforward communication, and people who actually care about getting it right. Your project isn't just another ticket in a queue.

How We Work

What you can expect when working with us

Keep It Simple

We build what you need, not what sounds impressive in a pitch deck.

Be Honest

If something isn't a good fit or won't work, we'll tell you upfront.

Do It Right

We take the time to build things properly, not just quickly.

Stay Responsive

When you have questions or need changes, you won't be waiting days for a response.

Working Together

Here's what working with us looks like

Direct Communication

No account managers or project coordinators. You work directly with the developers building your project.

Built for You

We spend time understanding how you actually work, then build software that fits that. Not some generic template.

Full Stack

We handle the whole thing: frontend, backend, database, hosting. Everything works together seamlessly.

Ongoing Support

After launch, we stick around. Bugs happen, requirements change, questions come up. We're here for that stuff.

Got a Project?

Let's talk about what you're building. Whether it's a new app from scratch or fixing something that's not working, we're happy to chat and see if we can help.
