hi · solo developer

I’m the person who builds it.

Inspire Development is a one-person shop. When you hire me, you talk to me, you get code from me, and you get support from me. No project managers, no offshore handoffs, no ghost senior dev on the discovery call who never touches the actual work.

background

Six years in. Built for builders.

I started writing Discord bots in 2020 for a Rust server I helped run — the existing options were either too generic or too expensive. The bot grew, then someone asked me to make one for their server, then another. Six years later, between client work and the three in-house products I’m shipping (Clan Ops, Citadel, Citadel Cloud), this is the full-time gig.

What I’m good at is the intersection of game communities and custom dev work — the kind of project where you need someone who understands what a wipe is, why your DayZ trader can’t be generic, what makes a Discord server actually feel like a community vs. a chat room.

I previously ran Inspire PC as a custom-build PC service. That business was fine, but it wasn’t where my edge was. The pivot to development services lets me work on what I’m measurably better at — and lets you work with someone who’s playing the same games you are.

currently shipping

Three products, in parallel with client work.

Building these in the open. Each one started as a problem I kept solving for clients and decided to solve properly, once.

Clan Ops

Soft-launch

Discord bot for clan management — rosters, ranks, op scheduling with RSVPs, and a recruitment pipeline.

Case study

Citadel

Soft-launch

Self-hosted game server management panel. One dashboard for Rust, DayZ, and FiveM — server controls, live logs, player tools.

Case study

Citadel Cloud

In development

Hosted, multi-tenant Citadel. The same panel without the self-hosting step — for clans that just want it to work.

Case study

honest scope

What I do, and what I don’t.

Solo means narrow. I’d rather be excellent at four things than mediocre at twelve.

What I do

Discord bots — discord.js / discord.py — custom, hosted on your server or mine
Discord layouts — full server setup, audit-and-rebuild, ticket systems
Marketing websites — Next.js, Tailwind, Lighthouse 90+ baseline
Web apps — auth (NextAuth + Discord OAuth), Stripe payments, Postgres
Game scripts — Rust (Oxide/uMod), DayZ (Enscript), FiveM (Lua/JS)
Discord ↔ game bridges — webhook integrations, role-gated whitelists

What I won’t take

WordPress sites — don't do them, don't enjoy them, can refer you out
Client-side Rust mods — they get you banned, no exceptions
Standalone anti-cheats — extending existing ones is fine, building from scratch is a specialty
Long-cycle agency engagements — I'm solo, I deliver fast or not at all
"AI startup" MVPs unless you have a real plan — I'm not your $200/hr consultant

stack

Tools I actually use.

If you want a different stack, ask before you commit. I won’t fake comfort with tools I’m not fluent in.

Discord work

discord.js
Default for new bots. TypeScript end-to-end.
discord.py
When you have an existing Python codebase.
Carl-bot, Tickets.bot, MEE6
Stock options when custom isn't needed.

Web

Next.js 15 + React 19
Default. App Router, server components.
TypeScript
Always. No "any" escape hatches.
Tailwind v4
No CSS-in-JS bloat, no MUI sameness.
Postgres
Default DB. SQLite for tiny apps.

Game scripts

Oxide / uMod (Rust)
C# server-side plugins. No client mods.
Enscript (DayZ)
Server-side mods. Some client mods.
Lua + JS (FiveM)
ESX, QBCore-compatible resources.

how i work

The operator playbook.

Four commitments that don’t change project to project.

Response time

Replies within 4 hours during business days. Quotes within 24 hours, every time.

Communication

Whatever channel works for you — Discord (preferred), email, SMS. I'll join your server during the project so you can ping me where the work is happening.

Billing

Hourly tracked in 15-minute increments. Fixed fees where scope is known. Net-14 invoices via Stripe or ACH. No upfront deposits below $1,500.

Handoff

Source code is yours. Documentation included. I won't hold deployments hostage — git access, env vars, hosting login: all transferred at delivery.

Quote within 24 hours, free. If I’m not the right fit I’ll tell you immediately and point you somewhere that is.
