Every site, every stack, every commit.

A working portfolio of the production sites I have engineered since 2017. Each entry links to the case study on ThatDevPro with screenshots, technical decisions, and measurable outcomes.

The studio

ThatDeveloperGuy is an SDVOSB-certified service-disabled veteran-owned web development studio based in Cassville, Missouri. I personally write every line of code on every site — no offshore teams, no white-label resellers, no AI-generated content slop. The studio runs on bare-metal Debian + nginx infrastructure I administer myself, not on Vercel or Squarespace.

Engine optimization (SEO + AEO + AIO + GEO) is handled through the sister studio ThatDevPro. Hosting through ThatWebHostingGuy. AI engineering through ThatAIGuy.org. Research and writing through FeedTheJoe.

Sites engineered

19 production sites since 2017. Each links to its detailed case study with pre-build and post-build screenshots, technical decisions, and Core Web Vitals before-after data.

Technology stack

The stacks vary per project, but the common spine is: hand-coded HTML when the project allows it, React or Next.js or Astro when client requirements demand it, Tailwind for styling, Schema.org JSON-LD for entity graphs, nginx on Debian for serving, IndexNow for cross-engine ping, and the aio-surfaces + seo-sidecar open-source toolkit for AI-citation surfaces. Every site ships with llms.txt, llms-full.txt, aeo.json, entity.json, brand.json, and ai.txt.

Zero Cloudflare. Zero Vercel proxy in front of paying clients. Zero Squarespace. Zero Wix. Every site runs on infrastructure I administer directly via SSH.
