Who We Are
918.software is Devin Venable, an independent software builder based in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I work directly with operations teams at small and mid-sized businesses to clear out the friction in their internal workflows and systems.
Twenty years of engineering judgment decides what gets built and where it has to hold up. That is the part that matters, and it is the part I do. I use modern tools, including AI, to move through the repetitive work faster, so more of my time goes to the decisions that actually shape the outcome.
The name comes from Tulsa's area code (918). I work with clients anywhere, but local relationships come first. No sales team, no account managers. You work directly with me.
How I Work
Start Small
I begin with one clearly defined problem. Fixed scope, fixed price. You see results before committing to more.
Direct Access
No layers between us. I do the work, answer the questions, and stay accountable.
Operations-First
I focus on how your team actually works day-to-day — not on selling technology.
Judgment on the Hard Parts
I put my experience where it counts: deciding what to build and making sure it holds up. Modern tools, including AI, clear the repetitive work so more of my time goes there. The outcome is what I answer for.
Problems I Solve
I work with operations teams who are stuck with:
- Spreadsheets that became systems — brittle, error-prone, impossible to hand off
- Manual processes that eat time — copying data between tools, chasing updates, fixing mistakes
- Multiple tools that almost work together — but require constant workarounds
- Internal tools people rely on but dislike — clunky, outdated, or built by someone who left
- Reporting that takes hours — pulling from multiple sources, reformatting, double-checking
These aren't glamorous problems. But they compound over time, and they're exactly the kind of thing I fix.
What I Offer
I take on small, contained engagements — one clearly defined problem at a time. Fixed scope, fixed price, quick turnaround.
Workflow Fixes
Untangle messy processes, connect disconnected systems, and eliminate manual work that's eating your team's time.
AI Integration
Put AI agents to work inside your systems: reading documents, answering questions from your data, handling multi-step tasks. Practical results, production-grade, with the guardrails a real business runs on.
Team Training
Help your team use AI tools effectively and safely, focused on your actual workflows, not generic tutorials.

Software Builder
20+ years building software for startups, consultancies, and enterprise clients. I've led teams, architected systems, and shipped production code across dozens of industries. I use modern tools, including AI, where they help, but the work is pointed at one thing: fixing what slows established teams down.
