  • 25 years building software
  • 16 years as a hands-on CTO
  • Works remotely from Jeffreys Bay

Sound familiar?

  • I know what I want, but I can't find the right person to build it.
  • The developer built what I wrote down, not what my business needed.
  • We have a half-finished system and nobody to finish it.
  • Our systems don't talk to each other, so people retype the same details.
  • We need senior technical direction, but not a full-time CTO.

What you get

  • One person who understands your business problem and builds the software himself.
  • A clear scope and price before any work starts.
  • Software built for your business, which you own.
  • Systems you already pay for, passing information to each other.
  • AI assistants and tools that fit how your people already work.

What clients say

★★★★★
I needed a system that took the guesswork out of marketing and I needed someone to just handle it. I’m too busy running my business to worry about outreach and posting and follow-ups and all the things you need to do when running a business. HotLead gave me all of that and I am so grateful I came across Darryn and this app. It is a game changer. I was skeptical at first but so glad I took the chance. I can highly recommend HotLead. It is awesome and true innovation.

Questions

How do I know you can build it?

I've built software for 25 years, 16 of them as a hands-on CTO, including running my own web development company. I also built HotLead, a marketing platform used by service businesses.

What will it cost?

Every project is scoped and quoted up front, so you know the price before work starts.

Who owns the software once it's built?

You do. You own the custom software I build for you.

Will I be handed to a junior developer?

No. You work with me directly, every time. Keene Growth is just me, and I use AI tools to get through the work.

Why not use a cheaper developer or an agency?

A cheaper quote can cost more if the wrong thing gets built. I start by understanding your business problem, then scope it properly, then build it myself. I can't promise the lowest price, but you'll know the price before we start.

What if I'm not sure what I need yet?

This page is for people who know what they want built. If you're not there yet, mention it when we talk. The 3-week fix may be the better starting point.
