Questions, answered straight

I am Trent Tompkins, a custom software and web systems developer based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I build practical, production-ready systems for founders, operators, and small businesses: custom websites, web applications, admin tools, CMS workflows, and marketing automation that ship instead of stall.

Full-stack development in PHP and Python, custom database design, SEO-ready site structure, payment and API integrations, and AI-assisted automation. I focus on the parts that move the needle: clear positioning, fast load times, clean conversion paths, and tools that remove manual busywork and protect margin.

PHP, JavaScript, jQuery, HTML and CSS, MySQL, and Python on the LAMP stack with nginx. I also work with CodeIgniter, Bootstrap, Git, regex, API integration, data migration, SSL and security, Google Analytics, and AI-assisted tooling for content and automation.

Whether the problem is a slow site, a clumsy internal process, an offer that is not converting, or an idea stuck between concept and launch, I help identify the real bottleneck and build the practical fix. Every engagement starts with a free consultation to map the problem and define the solution.

It starts with a free consultation. Tell me the problem, the bottleneck, the goal, or the project you want to launch, and I will map it out and define a solution. Use the Free Consultation button anywhere on the site, or call (724) 431-5207.

I am based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and serve clients there, but web and software work is not bound by geography. I work with founders, operators, and small businesses regardless of location.

Yes. I can produce high-quality, on-brand short videos with Google Veo, including product demos, ads, explainers, and social clips, generated and edited in-house. The same pipeline covers AI-assisted images and other generated media.

Claude Codex Black Edition is a standalone VSCode extension I built that turns the editor into a multi-LLM chat panel with no provider lock-in. It ships with bridges to Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok, Copilot, DeepSeek, Ollama and more, a pluggable XML bridge system, multi-account management, TTS and STT, slash commands, visual skins, and translations. You can download the VSIX from the Projects section.

The Projects section on the home page and the Portfolio page cover shipped work, from the AcquisitionInvest investor platform to a funeral-home SaaS platform serving 300+ clients, ecommerce builds, and business websites. Each entry lists the problem, the stack, and the result.
