Branden Thomas · Enterprise Technology Solutions Consultant
For two decades I architected and led technology solutions for some of the world's most demanding companies. Now I bring that same standard directly to businesses: advising what to build or buy, architecting the solution, connecting the systems you already run, and leading it all the way to go-live. Not advice from the sidelines: the whole solution, delivered to enterprise standard.
Selected experience
Fortune 500 enterprises, federal and state government, and private foundations, delivered across Europe and the United States: environments where scale, security, and precision were never optional. That is the standard I build to now, for every client, wherever they are.

What I Build
Off-the-shelf tools force your business to bend around them. I build the opposite: custom software shaped to how you actually work, connected to the systems you already run, and shipped by the same person who designed it. Full stack, start to finish.
Built for how you actually work
Web applications, internal tools, dashboards, and customer portals tailored to your operation, replacing the spreadsheets, manual steps, and duct-taped workflows you've outgrown. Software that does the job the way you'd do it yourself, only faster and without the busywork.
Make your tools talk to each other
Your internal tools, external SaaS, cloud platforms, payment processors, and CRM connected so data flows automatically instead of being re-keyed by hand. If it has an API, it can be wired into the rest of your operation, and the manual copy-paste can go away for good.
Native apps, all the way to the store
Native iOS and Android apps designed, built, and carried through the full App Store and Google Play submission and review. Push notifications, payments, widgets, offline support, the works. I've shipped my own products to both stores, so I know the whole gauntlet.
A whole business from a blank page
Have an idea but nothing built yet? I take it from zero: name, brand, and identity, then the software, the backend, and the launch. The entire thing designed and shipped by one set of hands, so the vision and the execution never drift apart.
The engine room, done right
APIs, databases, servers, and deployment pipelines architected to be secure, reliable, and yours to keep. The part customers never see but the whole business depends on, built with the same rigor that held up under Fortune 500 load.
Know what to build before you build it
I advise what to buy and what to build, architect the solution end to end, and lead the implementation from scoping through go-live: vendor selection, systems design, and total-cost-of-ownership clarity, backed by two decades of enterprise experience. Available on a fractional basis when you need a senior technical hand, not a full-time hire.
About Branden Thomas
I built and ran a business of my own in Amsterdam before spending nearly fifteen years in the Pacific Northwest, on engagements for Microsoft, Boeing, Charles Schwab, the Bezos Family Foundation, Tesco, Stryker, Harrah's, Bank of the West, Delta Dental, Fluke Networks, and California Medicaid . This was software built under real scrutiny: regulated, secured, audited, and expected to hold up at scale. The kind of environment where the details are not optional, and neither is getting it right.
I don't advise from a distance. I design the brand, architect the systems, write the code, wire the integrations, and ship the result, so the vision and the execution come from the same hands and nothing gets lost in translation.
Now I build that same way for other businesses, remote-first and wherever they happen to be, whether you're a founder launching something new, an operator drowning in disconnected tools, or a team that needs the software no one off the shelf will build for you. The work has always crossed borders and time zones; that hasn't changed, only who it's for.
How It Works
Every build is structured, scoped, and outcome-driven. I work solo or alongside your team and the systems you already have, with one focus: get the right thing built and into your hands.
A focused call about what you're trying to build or streamline, and the constraints around it. Free, and without obligation.
I map the system, the integrations, and the moving parts, then hand you a clear plan, timeline, and fixed price before a line of code is written.
I build it, wire it into your existing systems, and show you working progress along the way: no black box, no surprises at the end.
I ship it (to your servers, the App Store, wherever it lives) and stay on to support, iterate, and keep it running.
Questions
Currently Building
Beyond client work, I run two brands of my own. The same hands-on approach, built for two very different audiences.
Enterprise · brand + web + automation
My enterprise integration brand: UniFi networking, surveillance, access control, and AV for luxury residential and commercial clients. I built the brand, the site, the self-hosted booking system, and the CRM-driven outreach that runs behind it.
Visit RedRiverIntegration.comConsumer · iOS + Android + backend
A full consumer brand I built end to end: native iOS and Android apps in both stores, a membership platform, Stripe payments, push and SMS messaging, and a white-label storefront, all on a backend I architected and deployed.
