NextWave Systems · Freelance software development
I’m Dakota Blevins. Working in Python, React/Next.js, and Supabase/PostgreSQL, I replace spreadsheet-driven processes with real tools, build dashboards on live data, and connect the systems you already use — the software you actually need, without the overhead of an agency.
Five years of full-stack development, plus enterprise experience most freelancers never get near.
My day-to-day work is building and maintaining business-critical systems in the SAP world: SAP MII on the plant floor, SAP UI5 apps for the people running it. That teaches you to work carefully — understand the process first, change things deliberately, document what you did.
I bring the same discipline to NextWave Systems. Clear scope in plain language, regular updates while I build, and working software you actually own at the end. That holds whether it’s a two-week automation fix or a full application build.
KPI dashboards and automated reports that replace spreadsheet wrangling. The numbers your team needs, always current, one link away.
Python scripts and API integrations that connect the systems you already use and cut out the copy-paste work in between.
Admin panels, workflow tools, and database cleanup. Messy spreadsheets and ad-hoc processes become software that scales with you.
Full-stack web apps built with React, Next.js, and TypeScript. From a focused MVP to a production app your team relies on every day.
SAP UI5 application development and SAP MII support, backed by years of hands-on experience in manufacturing environments.
Retainer-style maintenance and improvements after launch, so what I build keeps working and keeps getting better.
Excel → live KPI dashboard
A sample product build. Upload a production spreadsheet, map its columns once, and get a live dashboard: totals, trends, breakdowns by any column, a wall-display TV mode, and light and dark themes. Multi-tenant on Supabase with row-level security. The same kind of reporting and ops-visibility tool I build for clients, packaged as a product.
We start with a short call or written brief. You get a plain-language proposal with clear scope, timeline, and price. No surprises later.
I work in short iterations and share progress as I go. You see working software early and can course-correct while it's cheap to do.
You get deployed, documented software, and you own the code. I walk your team through everything before we call it done.
Most clients keep me on for improvements and maintenance. Prefer to run it yourself? The handoff makes that easy too.
Tell me what you’re working with, what “done” looks like, and any deadlines that matter. I’ll reply with honest feedback on scope and a clear next step. Prefer Upwork? Invite me from your job post.
