One developer. Twenty-four years. The whole stack.

Expert Coders is a one-person software shop in Jacksonville, Texas. No account managers, no offshore hand-offs, no junior bench. You work directly with the person who designs, builds, and supports your system.

Mike Cunningham

Two decades as a lead developer across oil and gas, automotive, healthcare, manufacturing, legal, and general business. I carved out a niche in virtual instrumentation, data acquisition, and process control, and that niche grew into web platforms, mobile apps, and AI systems as the work demanded it.

Sixteen years running a multi-state company with 40 employees taught me what deadlines, payroll, and stakeholders actually feel like. When I scope your project, I'm thinking about your P&L, not just the code.

I built and sold a complete product. GeoSpect Instruments was a hardware-and-software instrumentation platform for the oil field, taken from a bench prototype through manufacturing, sales, and support. That lifecycle is the lens I bring to every build.

As the sole developer, every project gets the same attention. I write the code, I answer the phone, and I'm the one who shows up when something needs fixing at two in the morning.

How I work

Small shop, production habits.

Scope before code

We agree on the objective, the constraints, and what "done" means before anything gets built. It keeps the project honest and the invoice predictable.

Working checkpoints

You see running software early and often. Progress is something you can click on, not a status report.

Risk flagged early

If a requirement is going to be expensive, fragile, or unnecessary, you hear about it before it costs you money.

You own the code

Everything I build is handed over with the source, the deployment notes, and no lock-in. Keep me on for support or don't, your call.

Hardware to cloud

Sensors, PLCs, embedded boards, Linux servers, web apps, and AI pipelines are one continuous system to me, not six vendors.

Direct line

You call, I answer. There is no layer between you and the person writing the code.
