About Darren Alderman 🇺🇸

Hi, I'm Darren. đź‘‹

I build AI-powered apps and automations that do real things:

  • $5.58 million in sales in 14 months through my custom Stripe integration.
  • 200,000 attendees tracked at the PGA Tour's Ryder Cup with my custom event app.
  • $255,696 saved on 15,981 coaching calls by replacing manual QA with my AI agent.

I'm a custom software developer and AI systems builder based in Louisiana — and I've been doing this for 10+ years.

A few things that make me different:

  • I started as a full stack developer at CGI, one of the world's largest IT firms. I think in systems, not features.
  • I've been a contract-based solution architect at Glide — building and consulting on enterprise-grade apps for 6+ years.
  • I'm currently Co-founder & CTO at two AI-native startups. I'm not just selling AI systems. I'm building them.
  • I got my degree in Math… which means I’m smart and know how to solve problems. 🤓

Most of my clients come to me with some version of the same problem: "Everything works… kind of. But nothing talks to each other, the data is a mess, and we're manually doing things we shouldn't be."

Sound familiar?

When you work with me, I scope, architect, and build the perfect solution with the best tools:

  • Custom AI apps and internal tools (Claude, Lovable, Cursor)
  • Automation workflows and integration pipelines (Make, Zapier, N8N)
  • API design and custom backend logic (REST, JavaScript, Node)
  • Full-stack no-code builds (Next JS, Tailwind, Supabase, Vercel, Github)

If your team is running on duct tape and big hopes… let's fix that. 🔧

Darren brought to life what was in my head. It's amazing. So great working with you Darren. We are launching this with our clients over the next few weeks and we are already working with Darren again to make the platform more powerful. He's also been helping in recording short videos that help me maintain and add to some of the functionality myself.

Working with Darren has been an absolute pleasure! His lightning-fast tweaks, meticulous attention to detail, and on-call support were invaluable. He executed our vision, while also providing his own constructive adjustments: he made smart structural decisions and back-end changes that will serve our future projects, and make workflows easier for our organizing team. We're going to continue collaborating with him on other projects - thanks, Darren!

Incredibly glad we went with Darren for this project. Goals were clearly set, communication was open, and daily progress was impressive. We truly appreciate being able to see the app being built nearly in real-time. Final product is functional, clean, and user-friendly with all the features we needed for this iteration. Highly recommend!
