Hi, I’m Dave O’Connor.
I help small businesses build better websites and useful software. Based in the Triangle, working directly with you.
Tell me about your project
A thoughtful build, from idea to handover.
I have more than a decade of software engineering experience working at some of the largest tech companies in the Raleigh-Durham area, including Red Hat, Cisco, and AT&T. That experience shapes how I plan, build, test, and hand over useful websites and software for small businesses.
LocalByte is my independent business, serving owners in Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and beyond. You work directly with me, from the first conversation through delivery.
How we work together.
Agree scope first.
We write down the deliverables, timing, and price before work begins.
Talk with the person building it.
You work directly with Dave from early questions through handover.
Plan for everyday use.
We consider phones, keyboard access, readability, and support needs.
Apps with an
everyday purpose.
Our app projects explore the things we do every day: household routines with Nabu, goals with Year of Bingo, audiobook listening with Tinsel, and writing with Tap.
Some are live, some are still in the workshop. You’ll find each one clearly labeled, alongside our website and app concept demos.
