Tyler S. Smith
I build software that works and websites that sell. Every project architected from scratch, never from a template.
Six client projects shipped thus far in 2026 - from a five-page brochure site to a multi-vendor marketplace with Stripe Connect payments and a 20-week technical roadmap. Each one scoped, built, and deployed by one person.
I also build my own products. LedgerFortress is a rental property ledger designed to beat cloud-dependent competitors by keeping data local. Play Lore is a full interactive story engine with persistent NPC memory, convergence mechanics, and PDF export. On the consulting side, I run SEO audits that have uncovered broken schemas, staging domain leaks, and invisible local search gaps for clients in biotech, real estate, and e-commerce.
What I Build
Website Builds
From brochure sites for local businesses to full-stack custom platforms with payment processing, auth, and admin dashboards. No templates - every build is from scratch.
Custom Software
Purpose-built applications designed to solve specific business problems. Architecture, UI, deployment - soup to nuts. Built to scale, priced to compete.
SEO & Discoverability
Professional audits covering meta, schema markup, heading hierarchy, local search gaps, and discoverability. Delivered as a branded assessment document.
Feasibility Studies
Competitive analysis, architecture recommendations, cost breakdowns, risk assessments, and technical roadmaps. Know what you're building before you build it.
Monthly Retainers
Content, SEO updates, site maintenance, performance reporting, and Google Business Profile management. Ongoing support that keeps things running.
Product Development
Full product builds with advanced integrations - payment infrastructure, real-time systems, intelligent features. From concept through launch.
const tools = {
frontend: "React, Vite, Tailwind CSS",
backend: "Supabase, Vercel Serverless",
payments: "Stripe Connect",
hosting: "Vercel",
also: "HTML/CSS, WordPress, SEO, Schema Markup"

Tyler_Smith1@alumni.brown.edu @LorePlayAI on X tylerssmith.com Start a ConversationLedgerFortress
A rental property ledger built for multi-unit landlords who want their books kept locally - no cloud dependency, no subscription traps. Full dashboard with property tracking, tenant management, lease handling, work orders, reconciliation, and custom reporting. Designed to outperform tools like TenantFile by putting the owner in control of their own data.

Play Lore
What if interactive fiction actually read like a novel? Play Lore is a full story engine where every character remembers, every world breathes, and every story finds its end. Seven genres - Dark Fantasy, Isekai, Murim, Mystery, Romance, Sci-Fi, Western - each with persistent NPC memory, convergence mechanics, and prose that doesn't read like a chatbot.

Warden Rentals
A lakeside vacation rental site for two communities on Grand Lake - Warden Estates and Smitty's Resort. Built with full-bleed hero photography, a dual-community selector, individual property listings, RV and boat slip rental pages, FAQ, and contact forms. Designed to convert visitors into bookings with clear calls to action and seasonal availability.

Pumpin' Spice Decor
A seasonal porch decor and installation service in the San Francisco Bay Area. The original site was built on a basic template with inconsistent styling, a cluttered layout, and no clear conversion path. Redesigned with refined branding, streamlined packages, and a modern responsive build.
