FITZPATRICKDEVELOPMENTGROUPDevelopment●Strategy●Support
Senior technology consulting for organizations that need someone who builds what they recommend — not just decks and timelines.
2+ decades building on the web — from the early commercial internet through today's AI-native stack. I work directly with founders, CTOs, and operations teams — no account managers, no handoffs, no surprises.
Three ways I can help
Most consultants specialize in either strategy or execution. After two decades doing both, I've found the best work happens when the person drawing the roadmap is the same one writing the code.
Development
Full-stack web development from greenfield to legacy modernization. I build applications that are maintainable, well-documented, and built to last — not just to ship.
Strategy
Technology strategy grounded in how systems actually behave at scale. I help organizations make build vs. buy decisions, evaluate vendors, and plan migrations without the consulting-firm theater.
Support
Ongoing technical support for organizations without in-house development depth. I keep existing systems healthy, handle escalations, and document what your team inherits.
Tools I work with daily
I'm technology-pragmatic rather than technology-tribal. The right tool for the job, chosen for maintainability and fit — not résumé-padding.
Senior technical leadership, without the overhead
FitzDevGroup is the consulting practice of Brent Fitzpatrick — a senior technologist with experience spanning commercial startups, enterprise organizations, and large-scale government systems.
I work through a tight network of trusted partners. When a project needs more than one set of hands, I bring in people I've worked with directly — not a bench of contractors I've never met.

Simple by design
No RFPs, no discovery theater. A straightforward engagement from first conversation to delivered work.
Conversation
We talk. You describe the problem, I ask questions. No intake forms, no NDAs on the first call.
Proposal
A plain-English scope of work — what gets built, what it costs, what success looks like.
Execution
Work happens with regular check-ins. You see progress, not just updates at milestones.
Handoff
Documented, tested, and transferred so your team can own what we built together.
Let's talk about your project
Whether you have a defined project or just a problem you need to think through, reach out. Initial conversations are always free and informal.
