I Build Software That Works in the Real World
From websites for local businesses to AI-powered web applications — if your business has a problem that could be solved with software, I can build it.
What I Can Build For You
Whether you need a simple website or a complex application, here's how I can help.
Websites
Get your business online. Clean, fast, mobile-friendly sites that show up on Google.
WordPress, custom builds, SEO, responsive design
Web Applications
Replace the chaos. Booking systems, job management, dashboards — built around how your business actually works.
Django, React, Next.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL
E-Commerce
Sell online. Products, services, gift cards, subscriptions — with real payment processing.
Stripe integration, inventory, order management
AI Integrations
Add a smart assistant to your site, automate repetitive tasks, or build AI into your workflow.
Claude, LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI, vector search, computer vision
Consulting & Maintenance
Already have something that’s broken, slow, or outdated? I’ll fix it, upgrade it, or rebuild it.
Code audits, performance, security, migrations
Live Work
These are real applications in production — built by me, used by real businesses and real people.

The Problem
Selling fine art photography online requires more than a product grid — customers need to discover art by mood, visualize it in their space, and feel confident before buying.

The Result
Live at store.matthewraynor.com — try the AI assistant yourself.
