Stephanie Gredell

Hi, I'm Stephanie.

Senior Software Engineer for Small Businesses & Agencies

I fix broken and outdated websites, automate the work you're doing by hand, and take on the technical projects your team doesn't have time for.

I bring 14+ years of software engineering experience, including 11 years at LinkedIn. Now I work directly with small businesses and agencies that need experienced engineering help without hiring someone full-time.

What I Can Help With

Start with the problem in front of you. We'll figure out the right-sized fix.

Website Repairs

Forms failing, pages broken, or a site that's gone down? I'll track down the cause, fix what matters, and help you avoid the same problem again.

Website Refreshes

If your site feels dated or is hard to use on a phone, I'll improve what you have so customers can find what they need and get in touch.

Workflow Automation

Still moving information between tools by hand? I'll connect the steps that make sense to automate so your team spends less time copying, checking, and chasing updates.

Technical Support & Integrations

When hosting, booking, payments, or other systems won't cooperate, I'll untangle the issue or build the missing connection. I also help agencies with tricky technical work.

A first step can be as simple as reviewing your site or tracing one problem. Tell me what's going on and I'll suggest a sensible scope before quoting larger work.

Extra Engineering Help for Agencies

Design, branding, marketing, SEO, and no-code teams don't always need another agency. Sometimes you just need an experienced engineer to handle the part that doesn't fit neatly into your usual work.

I can step in for custom integrations, backend and API work, migrations, debugging, performance problems, and the technical edge cases that slow a project down. I can work behind the scenes or white-label the implementation so your client relationship stays yours.

You'll get reliable follow-through, senior-level judgment, and clear communication. I'll take the awkward technical work off your plate without adding another layer of management.

Talk about overflow work

Client Work

Websites and tools built around what each client needed to run their business.

Puccini Group restaurant design website

Puccini Group

Puccini Group needed a way to show its restaurant design work and keep its portfolio current. I built a responsive site with custom sections for case studies, press, and project galleries. Their team can add new work and update pages in-house.

Trademark Drink and Eat restaurant website

Trademark Drink and Eat

A restaurant and bar needed a site that could keep up with changing menus and promotions. I built a mobile-friendly site with custom menus and simple editing fields. Staff can update seasonal offerings without calling a developer.

The Cabinet Center showroom website

The Cabinet Center

A local cabinet showroom needed to make its services and locations easier to explore online. I built responsive pages with photo galleries and reusable sections for each offering. The team can keep the site current, and local customers can find what they need more easily.

Delicious Catering website

Delicious Catering

A local caterer needed a clear way to show menus and event services to people browsing on their phones. I built mobile-friendly pages for different events, with galleries and menu sections the team can update themselves. Customers can see the options without digging through the site.

Andrea Wine course website

Andrea Wine

A wine course needed more than a library of videos. I built an interactive site with a custom video player, quizzes, and progress tracking. Learners can follow their progress and use the course on mobile.
