I build apps
for people who
can't hire a
dev shop.
Custom web apps, landing pages, and AI coaching — built fast, priced fair, by a pastor who taught himself to code with AI.
What I Build
Services
You get a custom tool that does exactly what you need — not a template, not a workaround. Database setup, authentication, admin UI, Vercel deployment, 30 days of support.
That $35/month you’re paying for Squarespace? That’s $420/year. My one-time fee pays for itself in 14 months — and your site loads faster. Responsive design, SEO basics, contact form, Vercel deployment, domain setup assistance. Choose your path after launch: +$150 for a 1-hour training and full handoff (repo, hosting, domain — it’s yours). Or $15/month for a care plan (hosting, SSL, domain management; changes billed at $75/hr — half my standard rate).
I’m a pastor, not a developer. I taught myself with the same tools I’ll teach you. Setup, first build, refinement, deployment — you ship by session 4. If I can do it, you can do it.
Portfolio
Recent Work
Kingdom Kids Check-in
Multi-station children’s ministry check-in. Phone lookup, allergy alerts, real-time attendance across concurrent kiosks.

Junkyard Pit Crew
A Detroit-area food truck owner was paying $30/mo for a Squarespace site and hand-editing menu PNGs every time a special changed. Built a custom menu manager with PIN-protected admin, live preview, and one-tap PNG export for his digital displays — edits from his phone between services. Shipped in under a week; monthly fees gone.

About
I'm Travis Buerky — pastor in Milford, MI, and executive director of a music education nonprofit.
I run both organizations with a team of 16 AI agents I built from scratch. I started coding a year ago. Now I ship production apps in hours, not weeks.
I document the whole thing in public — wins, failures, live builds, and every experiment along the way — on The Shepherd Stack. If you hire me, you're hiring someone who's learning out loud. That transparency is the point.
