About Seth Wilson

I\'m a software engineer with over eight years of experience building full-stack web and mobile applications. These days, I spend my professional energy on something I care about deeply: building small, focused, bespoke software for faith communities, educational organizations, and nonprofits.Off-the-shelf solutions in these spaces try to be all things to all people. They\'re built for everyone, so they fit no one. What these organizations actually need isn\'t a bloated platform — it\'s one well-built tool that does exactly what they need and nothing they don\'t.That\'s what SethBuilds is. Artisan software for mission-driven organizations.I\'m also legally blind, which means accessibility isn\'t a compliance checkbox for me — it\'s personal. Everything I build is WCAG-compliant from the ground up, designed to work for everyone from day one.I use AI to build quickly, but I\'ve got the experience to keep it honest. I can read the code, catch the mistakes, and troubleshoot when things break. No vibe-coding into the void.Currently: I\'m taking on a small number of pilot projects at no cost in exchange for testimonials and portfolio rights. If your organization has ever said \"we wish we had an app that just did this one thing\" — let\'s talk. sethbuilds.app
