I'm David Foster. I build web applications, inventory and business systems, and websites for Southern Oregon operations that grow, make, fix, and sell real things — and I stick around to keep them running.
Custom web applications. Full builds from first conversation to deployment: Python and Flask, databases, user accounts and security, maps and third-party integrations. If your business needs a tool that doesn't exist yet, this is that.
Business systems & automation. Inventory management, internal tools, imports and integrations — the unglamorous software that replaces spreadsheet sprawl and double data entry.
Websites & ongoing care. Small-business sites and event/content management, plus the part most developers skip: maintenance. Updates, backups, fixes, and small changes, handled.
On-site systems. Some problems live in the building, not the browser: networked security cameras, local servers, and safe remote access. I do the physical install and the software both.
A family-run Southern Oregon dealership needed to track units from intake to sale without off-the-shelf software built for someone else's workflow. I built theirs — one codebase that runs on iPhone, Android, and the web. In production, with a live demo you can log into.
A web application for estimating farm transport and logistics costs — mapping, cost modeling, and secure user accounts. Built as my Oregon State computer science capstone, sponsored by the Oregon Department of Agriculture. Live demo linked on the case page.
Built ahead of the taproom's opening and launched in August 2025; since then, months of events published in bulk through structured imports instead of hand-entry — the calendar stays accurate and staff never touch a plugin.

Tell me what the business does, what's not working, and roughly when you need it. I read carefully and reply thoughtfully — usually within a business day or two.
