Independent software development · Kenzie Campbell

Software for work that doesn’t fit off-the-shelf tools.

I design, build, and run SaaS products and custom web applications with Ruby on Rails. Work directly with me from shaping the first version through design, development, launch, and ongoing operation.

Selected work

Software built for the work people do.

Shared farm equipment. Ice schedules. Clinic registrations. These are live applications I’ve designed, developed, and deployed—one for a client, two as products of my own.

FieldBook’s equipment list, with each machine marked available, out, down for repairs or ready for pickup.

Client project · In service

FieldBook

Coordinating shared equipment for a farming federation.

Built for the Inverness Victoria Federation of Agriculture, FieldBook helps members queue for shared equipment, confirm pickups, and record their usage on return, while caretakers manage the queues and repair holds.

My SaaS product · Five long-term clients

RinkBook

Ice scheduling, from the rink office to the team calendar.

RinkBook brings schedule management, public calendars, and billing reports together for rink operators. Five long-term clients use the product I build and operate.

My SaaS product · Early beta

GoalieBook

Clinic registrations and payments, together on one roster.

GoalieBook gives independent goalie coaches a place to publish clinics, collect registrations, and track card and e-transfer payments. It’s live and being developed with early-user feedback.

Working together

What do you need to build?

  1. A new software product

    You have an idea and knowledge of the people it could help. I can help shape the first version, design the application, build it, and get it into use.

  2. Software for your operation

    You need to coordinate bookings, equipment, registrations, or another process specific to your business. I build web applications around that work and the people doing it.

  3. A Rails development partner

    You’re a founder, agency, or team looking for someone who can take responsibility for an application or a defined part of the build. I can contribute hands-on development and technical direction.

Approach

From first idea to daily use.

I’m involved in what the application needs to do, how people use it, and how it runs. Design and development aren’t separate handoffs, and hosting isn’t someone else’s unexplained setup.

Understand the work.

Start with the people, the process, and the problem the software needs to address.

Shape and build it.

Work out a useful first version, design the interface, and build the application in Rails.

Get it into use.

Deploy it, operate it, and continue improving it as needs become clearer.

About

I’m Kenzie Campbell.

Route 19 is my independent software practice, based in Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I’ve worked remotely for 20 years and work with clients wherever there’s a good fit.

I build products of my own as well as applications for clients. In both cases, I handle the design, UI/UX, development, deployment, and hosting. I especially enjoy starting something new around a real problem and seeing it become part of someone’s working day.
