About the practicePortl

02 / About

A small practice.
Serious software.

SOLVR is Ian Miller's independent software engineering and consulting practice. This is how messy, real-world problems — the ones with legacy systems, half-written specs, and a deadline — turn into software you can actually run.

That means product work, internal tools, APIs, and the unglamorous integration layer most teams postpone. SOLVR is full-stack: UI when the interface is the product, backend when the data is the product, and training when the team has to own it after I leave.

Not a slideshow shop. Not a staffing mill.
One engineer, clear writing, shipped work.

  • Build

    Custom web applications and internal tools, designed around the actual workflow.

  • Advise

    Architecture, stack choices, and the shortest path from constraint to something running.

  • Hand off

    Documentation, pairing, and training so the system survives the first person who leaves.

Plugin + Feed

Add Portl Plugin to the content you already have — any source. Portl Feed takes the shape the work needs: a site, a kanban board, a CRM, or something entirely custom. Keep the system of record. Change the surface. Two pieces, one product.
