Tyler S. Smith
Software that works. Websites that sell. Every project architected from scratch, not dragged out of a template.
Tyler builds software that works and websites that sell. From five-page sites for local businesses to full-stack platforms handling multi-vendor payments, his work ships fast and holds up - because every project is architected from scratch, not dragged out of a template.
His portfolio spans industries and complexity: a rental property ledger built to outperform cloud-dependent competitors. A commissioned marketplace with Stripe Connect payments and a 22-week technical roadmap. SEO audits that uncovered broken schemas, staging domain leaks, and invisible local search gaps for clients in biotech, real estate, and e-commerce. A full interactive story engine with persistent memory, save systems, and PDF export.

Let's talk about your project
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. Full-bleed hero photography, community selector, RV & boat slip rental pages, FAQ, and contact. Currently being reworked with an updated design.
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.
