Privacy first apps, built with care in Virginia
I’m a developer, designer, and digital learning professional who believes technology should make life simpler, not more compilcated.
Experience across private and public sectors informs a design approach grounded in structure, precision, and real-world usability.
During the government purges of 2025, and the budget cuts that preceded them, I lost all of the programmers in my department. In short, the work still had to get done, and I was the only one with the skillset to make it happen. Fortunately, I have always loved building. After decades of administrative paperwork, I rediscovered the joy of making things that are useful both to me and to others. During the 49-day furlough that same year, I formally started this business and finally had time to pursue projects outside of the office.
Through Bair Development LLC, I create offline-first apps that solve meaningful problems for individuals, communities, educators, and faith-based organizations. Each project addresses a specific need and begins with the same goal: clarity and purpose.
My work blends technical discipline with a maker’s curiosity. I design for reliability, privacy, and consistency, focusing on clean interfaces, no wasted steps, and no unnecessary complexity.
I work primarily in Flutter and have extensive experience with databases, JSON, YAML, and CSV-driven data models, and cross-platform performance optimization. I am passionate about practical, privacy-respecting AI integrations, and my formal education centers on the learning sciences and how people think and learn.
Outside of coding and design, I am a husband, father of four, musician, avid reader, and lifelong learner. I serve faithfully in my church and try to get in the gym as often as I can.
