About

I'm a software developer and systems consultant with three decades of experience planning, developing, and implementing solutions in the healthcare, defense, telecommunications, media, hospitality, and insurance verticals. I specialize in custom application development and self-hosted infrastructure. I work with a small set of long-term collaborators on product builds and back-office systems — from first design sketch through deployment and operations.

botelle.net has been my professional home on the web since 2002.

What I do

• Custom web and mobile application development
• Systems integration, workflow automation, and internal tooling
• Self-hosted infrastructure: networking, identity, and secure remote access
• Revenue-cycle and back-office software consulting

Current projects

• Minos PR Inbox — review and merge pull requests from your phone; GitHub and self-hosted Gitea/Forgejo (free, open source)
• LightsOut — free macOS menubar app: display off, Mac stays awake
• Nauti Husky — zero-backend water-conditions and swim-planning app (free, open source)
• Partner request intake — a gated request portal with SMS follow-ups for project collaborators

Existing clients

Current collaborators: submit feature requests, bug reports, and build requests through the client request portal (login required). Requests are tracked and triaged, and you can opt in to SMS follow-ups when you submit.
