About Briarwood Software
Briarwood Software builds custom websites, web applications, and integrations for businesses that need software tailored to how they actually work. Every project starts with understanding your business — your workflows, your pain points, your goals — before a single line of code is written.
Our clients range from research initiatives at MIT to small businesses launching their first digital platforms. Whether you need a customer-facing website, an internal tool, or a system that connects the software you already use, we build it, host it, and keep it running.
About the Founder
Hi, I'm Lauren - Full-Stack Engineer & Founder
I've spent over a decade building software professionally, everything from small internal tools to large-scale automation systems used in manufacturing. Along the way, I've learned that the hardest part of any project isn't the code. It's figuring out exactly which problems need to be solved, in which order, and how.
That's what I do best, and it's why I started Briarwood Software. I work directly with business owners to understand what they need, then build practical, well-crafted software that fits. No jargon, no handoffs to other devs, no selling you something you don't need.
How I Work
Business First, Tech Second
I start every project by understanding your operations, not pitching a technology stack. The right solution follows from the right questions.
Senior-Level Work, Start to Finish
From the first conversation through deployment and beyond, you're working with the same experienced engineer. Nothing gets outsourced.
Built to Last
I write clean, maintainable software and stick around to support it. When your business evolves, your software can evolve with it.
