Hey, I'm Seth.

I studied Computer Engineering at Iowa State, and I've been writing code professionally since my time interning at Vermeer and building full-stack apps at Kingland. But the two experiences that shaped how I work the most are Kroger and Pantomath.

At Kroger Technology, I spent two years building systems at enterprise scale. The kind that need to be reliable, secure, and maintainable long after you ship them. It gave me a strong foundation in building things that actually last.

Now I'm at Pantomath, an early-stage startup where I wear every hat: frontend, backend, infrastructure, data pipelines, customer-facing work. It's taught me how to move fast, stay scrappy, and focus on what actually matters instead of over-engineering.

I started Seth Builds because I've been building small, purpose-built tools for myself for years, and getting a ton of value out of them. At some point I realized: if these tools make my life easier, there are probably a lot of businesses and professionals out there who'd get the same kind of value from something built the same way.

What I bring to the table

• Full-stack development: React, Next.js, Node.js, TypeScript, databases, cloud infrastructure. I handle the entire stack so you deal with one person, not a team.
• Enterprise experience: I've built systems at Kroger-scale. Your tool gets the same quality of engineering without the enterprise price tag.
• Startup speed: Working at a startup taught me to ship fast, communicate clearly, and focus on what actually matters.
• Built to hand off: I design everything so you can understand it, maintain it, and own it. No vendor lock-in, no black boxes.
