Starburst Digital

About Me

Photo coming soon

I'm Kevin, a software engineer based in Charlotte, NC. I've been building web applications for over a decade — dispatch systems for first responders, real estate platforms, marketing analytics tools. My deep specialties are TypeScript monorepos and PostgreSQL.

I started Starburst Digital because I kept seeing the same gap: small businesses paying too much for mediocre websites, and engineering teams paying too much for mediocre consulting. I knew I could do better at both.

On the web development side, I build custom sites for small businesses at a price that makes sense — $150/month, no upfront costs. On the consulting side, I help engineering teams untangle monorepo architectures and fix database performance problems.

What I Believe

The web should be fast, accessible, and owned by the people who create content for it. You shouldn't need to be locked into a platform or pay exorbitant fees just to have a professional online presence.

Good software is thoughtful software — built with real understanding of how people use it. I write every line of code myself, and I stand behind it. That's the standard I bring to every small business website and consulting engagement.

Technical Expertise

TypeScript & Monorepos

Large TypeScript codebases are my home turf. I've spent years working in and designing monorepos — the tooling, the tradeoffs, and the patterns that make them work for big teams. Turborepo, Nx, pnpm workspaces, TypeScript project references — I know where these tools shine and where they break down.

If you're a team struggling with slow builds, tangled dependencies, or a repo structure that's grown past what anyone planned for, I can help you untangle it.

PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL is one of the most powerful databases available — and one of the most commonly misused. I've worked extensively with schema design, query optimization, indexing strategy, and migration planning across projects at various scales.

When a database starts causing problems — slow queries, connection pool exhaustion, schema debt — I know how to diagnose the root cause and fix it without a complete rewrite.
