Custom software · Wilmington, North Carolina
I learn how your business works, find the real problem, and lead a senior team to build the software that solves it.
Good software starts before anyone writes code. Listen closely. Understand the work. Then build only what matters.
What Redwoods does
Sometimes the problem is an expensive vendor. Sometimes it is five systems that do not talk to each other. Sometimes the right product simply does not exist.
That is where we work best. We come in, learn the business, and turn the mess into something useful.
Selected client work · Featured case studies
Go inside two projects to see how close collaboration and senior engineering turn business needs into working software.
FutureCon needed registration, customer and speaker records, email campaigns, contact management, and reporting to work together. We built the internal platform from scratch. Now we are replacing their virtual-event vendor with a lighter system they control.
Inside Omni: connected event operations and a continuous delivery partnership.

What we build
We use modern tools—including AI—when they make the work better. The technology is never the pitch. The result is.
Replace spreadsheets, disconnected tools, and fragile handoffs with software that matches the way the work is actually done.
Customer portals, rewards programs, operational dashboards, mobile apps, and the systems behind them.
When a product is too expensive, too rigid, or simply wrong for the job, we build the version your business needs.
A trusted technical team for companies that need senior judgment and dependable delivery without building a large department.
How it works
You stay close to the work. You see it early. We adjust while changes are still cheap.
Walk us through the business, the people doing the work, and what keeps going wrong.
Chris asks the questions, maps the moving parts, and gets everyone clear on what is worth solving.
A small senior team gets a working version into your hands quickly, then improves it with you.
Fixed project, ongoing support, or embedded team—the arrangement follows the work, not the other way around.
Founder-led
More than a decade building software and leading technical teams.
I'm Chris Mellor. My best work starts with a conversation.
I ask questions until I understand what is really happening—not just what someone wrote in a requirements document. Then I bring in the right people, stay close to the work, and make sure we build something your team is proud to use.
My developers are exceptional. My job is to make sure they are solving the right problem.
