About Dakota Web Studio
Experienced software engineering with a personal approach.
Experienced Engineering. Personal Service.
Based in Tea, South Dakota
Dakota Web Studio was created to bring professional software engineering experience to businesses that need more than a cookie-cutter website.
I’m Jared. I started building websites when I was 16, nearly 30 years ago, and I’ve enjoyed technology and developing software ever since. I have more than 20 years of professional experience building websites, applications, APIs, databases, and business systems. Throughout my career, I’ve worked on everything from customer-facing applications to large-scale data platforms and financial systems.
After spending my career building software for organizations ranging from startups to large companies, I wanted to create something where I could work directly with clients and have a more personal connection to the projects I build. That’s why I started Dakota Web Studio — to combine my years of software engineering experience with the personal service and attention you expect from a small business.
I enjoy understanding how a business works and finding technology that makes things simpler, faster, and more effective. Whether you need a professional website, a custom application, or an integration between the systems you already use, I bring the same focus on reliability and thoughtful engineering to every project.
More Than 20 Years of Software Engineering
My career has included building software for startups, financial services companies, and organizations with complex operational and data needs.
Full-Stack Development
Modern web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, APIs, and cloud services.
Business Systems
Software designed around real business processes, including operational platforms, reporting systems, integrations, and customer-facing applications.
Data & Cloud
Databases, APIs, cloud infrastructure, data platforms, and integrations across AWS and Azure.
Technology Should Work for Your Business
Good software isn't about using the newest technology just because it's available. It's about understanding the problem, choosing the right approach, and building something that is reliable, maintainable, and useful.
I work directly with clients to understand what they're trying to accomplish and then build technology around those goals. That might be a simple website today, with the flexibility to grow into something much more tomorrow.
