T8 Development is Thomas — more than 20 years of hands-on software development and deployment experience, working directly with small businesses. No outsourced teams, no handoffs, and no engagement structure forced on you: the work fits how your business actually operates.
Get in touchNamed for a family of eight. Run by one person — the one you talk to, and the one who writes the code.
20+ years hands-on. AI is a tool for moving faster — never a substitute for doing the work.
Project-based, hourly, or ongoing retainer — the engagement fits your business, not the other way around.
Selected work
Designed and built COLOTRAQ's custom deal management platform from the ground up — migrating the frontend to AngularJS, the backend to a cost-efficient AWS architecture, and integrating QuickBooks and Hubspot. Currently rebuilding on React, Tailwind CSS, and a fully serverless AWS backend with AI agent integrations for lead generation.
Led the complete backend build on AWS — Lambda, S3, and Aurora — and developed GuaranTV's cross-platform mobile application in Flutter.
Primary technical resource for Monograhm's client base — automating deployments with Ansible, Puppet, and Chef, and building custom WordPress and CMS plugins.
Built the software for two generations of Runway Energy's hardware prototype — from C on the first version to Raspberry Pi and Python on the second — with an AWS backend on ECS, Lambda, and DynamoDB.
Built a custom document management and scheduling application for internal use, on a WordPress foundation, with ongoing security and maintenance upgrades.
Ongoing site updates for a nonprofit's national 250th-anniversary celebration — new events and schedules delivered throughout the year.
