Useful software, built for real people.
I hold a B.S. in Cybersecurity, and I've found that what I enjoy most is building things people actually use: websites, applications, and tools for the communities I'm part of.
Much of what I've learned has come from building real projects end to end, from my own portfolios to a website for a Minecraft community. Each one has taught me something about planning, design, and what it takes to keep a website useful after launch.
Olson Technology Solutions is how I bring that work to others. It's a one-person practice, so when you reach out, you're talking to the person who will plan, design, and build your project. I like it that way: it keeps communication simple and lets me understand each project fully.
Whether you're an individual who wants a personal website, a business that needs a clearer online presence, or a community that needs a central home, I'm happy to help you figure out what makes sense.
How I work
What you can expect from me.
Direct collaboration
You work with the person doing the work. Questions, feedback, and decisions go straight to me, so nothing gets lost in translation.
Usability first
A website should be easy to understand and easy to use on any device. I organize content around what visitors are actually looking for.
Built to be maintained
I aim for clear, organized code and structure so updates and new features stay manageable as your needs change.
Security-minded
My cybersecurity background shapes how I think about things like user data and access. Good security is an ongoing practice, and I treat it as one throughout a project.
Technology
The tools behind the work
You don't need to know any of this to work with me, but here's what I typically use.
- Next.js, React & TypeScriptDevelopment
A modern foundation for fast, reliable websites and applications.
- GitHubCode management
Version history and organized code, so changes are tracked and reversible.
- VercelHosting & deployment
Dependable hosting with straightforward, repeatable releases.

Let’s build something useful.
If you have a website or application in mind, I’d be glad to hear about it. An early idea is enough to start.
