ABOUT / 01

A small practice. Ten-plus years of shipping.

I've been shipping software for real businesses for ten years. Along the way, I picked up a simple rule: the fewer vendors standing between you and your own code, the longer it lasts.

Software Servants is the public face of Flipvo, LLC — the consulting practice I've been running quietly for a decade. Most of that work came through referrals and a long Fiverr run where I stayed at a hundred-percent five-star rating across hundreds of engagements. The work was always the same posture: someone had a problem, we built the thing, they owned what we built.

The name Servants is deliberate. It flips the rockstar posture that took over our industry somewhere around 2014. We're not ninjas or 10x wizards. We're the craftspeople in the back of the house, building what you had in mind. You're the principal. We do the work. You get the credit.

On ship day we hand you the keys — code, servers, accounts, data, IP. No SaaS rent, no per-seat fees, no vendor lock-in. Keep us on for maintenance or take it in-house a year from now; either way the work is yours, not ours. That posture shows up in every decision, from the tech we pick to the way we write the commit messages.

This page is the who. If you want the what, the selected work is next door.

PRINCIPLES / 03

Three rules, held tightly.

Short list. We say no to a lot of things to keep it that way.

  1. 01.

    We serve. You own.

    The work is yours the day it ships — code, servers, accounts, IP. We stay on if you want us, and we walk cleanly if you don't. No rent, no lock-in, no hostage data.

  2. 02.

    Ship fast. Own long.

    Weeks, not quarters. We pick boring, well-loved tech that keeps running after we've gone, and we write the kind of code a future maintainer can actually read.

  3. 03.

    Plain-spoken. Built to last.

    No rockstars, no synergies, no 90-slide kickoff decks. Working software in your inbox, plain-language tradeoffs, and a person who answers the email within the same day.

TEAM / 04

Two people. Decades of work.

You hire us, not an agency. The same two engineers on every project, start to finish.

Chris Nowlan

Owner · Full-Stack Engineer

Writing code since childhood. Ten-plus years shipping it for paying clients. Hundreds of engagements delivered with a 100% five-star rating across the full decade on Fiverr.

Works end-to-end across Laravel, Astro, React, and Python on AWS — comfortable from the database up through the deploy pipeline, and everything in between.

Teaches Claude Code and full-stack development on the side. The classroom habit keeps the tooling current and the explanations plain.

Chris Wilson

Partner · Bitstream Innovations

Thirty-plus years in enterprise software and security engineering. Career began at Harris Corporation building systems for serious workloads.

Co-founded e-Security (acquired by Novell), then SecurityNexus. Now runs Bitstream Innovations, LLC — a long-running collaborator on our larger engagements.

He brings enterprise-scale judgment and a security lens on everything we ship. When the work needs a second set of eyes with three decades behind them, Chris is the second set of eyes.

Correspondence

Kind words.

Three of the kinder things we've heard. The rest lives on Fiverr, where the rating has stayed at 100% five-star for ten years.

  1. “We hired Chris for a small fix. He flagged three other issues we had not noticed and handled all four for the same fee. Rare.”

    Founder Early-stage SaaS · Florida
  2. “Delivered in two weeks what another shop quoted us four months for. Same feature list. Better code.”

    Operations Director Regional healthcare network
  3. “He writes clean code and explains the tradeoffs in plain language. Our in-house team picked it up the first day.”

    CTO Family-owned manufacturing company
