Helping teams build with autonomy and AI.
I’m Spencer Pope — an independent technologist specializing in
full-stack and DevOps consulting for lean teams who want to move
faster, smarter, and with less friction.
Based in Shanghai. Working remotely worldwide.
Build. Automate. Simplify.
I help small teams and founders ship faster by removing technical roadblocks and strengthening their systems. Whether it’s a production-ready app or a cleaner CI/CD pipeline, I bring a hands-on approach and an eye for efficiency.
Full-Stack Development
React, Node.js, PHP, WordPress — I build, refactor, and document clean, maintainable codebases.
DevOps & Infrastructure
From Docker and AWS to CI/CD and database tuning, I make environments stable, secure, and scalable.
Technical Strategy
System audits, documentation, and AI-assisted workflows that make teams more autonomous.
Recent Projects
A few highlights from projects I’ve built or supported in the past year.
Timberline Instruments
An innovative scientific instrument manufacturer using ForgedSEO to build Google Search authority
My approach
I work best with small, independent teams who value autonomy and clarity. My process starts with understanding what you’re trying to accomplish — then designing a lightweight, scalable solution that makes sense for your tools and people.
- Communicate clearly, asynchronously when possible
- Document everything for future maintainers
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Use AI to accelerate learning and operations
Writing & ideas
I write about software, systems, and the habits that make work sustainable.
Let’s Build Something Together
Whether you need help deploying a feature, cleaning up a server, or planning a technical roadmap — I can jump in and help. I work on short-term projects, retainers, and collaborations with founders and small teams.
No sales talk — just a real conversation about your goals and where I can help.
