About
Stackcraft is a one-person dev studio run by Eli, based in New Zealand. I design, build, and ship custom software — with AI in the loop to move faster without cutting corners.
No project managers. No ticket queues. No handoffs between departments. You talk directly to the person writing the code, every single time. That means faster decisions, fewer miscommunications, and software that actually matches what you asked for.
I work with startups, agencies, and growing teams who need reliable software built by someone who actually gives a damn about the outcome. The kind of people who'd rather ship something real this week than sit through three rounds of discovery workshops.
I've been building software professionally for years — full-stack web apps, APIs, automation pipelines, AI integrations. I pick the right tool for the job, not whatever's trending on Hacker News this week. And I write code that the next developer can actually read.
No layers of approval or context-switching between teams. One person, full context, fast turnaround. Most projects ship in weeks, not months.
You talk to the person building your software. Questions get answered in hours, not days. Decisions happen in Slack, not Jira tickets.
I use AI tools throughout the development process — for code generation, testing, documentation, and research. It's a multiplier, not a replacement for good engineering.
Clean architecture, proper testing, clear documentation. I write code that's easy to maintain, extend, and hand off to your team when you're ready.
