Fractional CTO services offering custom business solutions including software & app development, data analytics, automation, integrations, AI, as well as technical oversight.
Since I was 18 years old, I've lived at the intersection of business and technical problem solving. I learned to build and program out of necessity to bootstrap my own software company and kept leveling up by reverse-engineering whatever broke next.
My early career was spent with various startups all over the US working on tight budgets while trying to compete with large enterprises. In those roles, I learned to persevere and did everything I could to scratch, claw and find a way to grow as fast, effective, and efficiently as possible. Now, I bring that fast-paced startup experience and discipline to businesses to help implement lean, agile business practices so that they can save time, save money, grow faster, and scale with minimal painpoints and maximum profitability.
I've saved businesses hundreds of hours and tens of thousands of dollars, and I'd love to help you do the same.
- Deric McCurry
Deric has been instrumental in transforming how we operate at C3 Industrial Technologies. He didn’t just build us a service management system—he fully immersed himself in how our specific business runs and designed a solution that actually works in the field, not just on paper.
What really sets Deric apart is his ability to take our ideas (sometimes half-formed and coming from a fast-moving environment) and turn them into clean, practical solutions our entire team can actually use day-to-day. He doesn’t overcomplicate things. He builds what works.
He’s responsive, solutions-driven, and always thinking a step ahead when it comes to efficiency and scalability. We don’t see him as a vendor—we see him as a true partner in helping us grow and build something bigger at C3!
- Lee'ah Joseph (Vice President)
Deric is technically proficient to a degree that is frankly alarming. He doesn't just build apps; he crafts architectures that make most local-area networks look like a series of tubes. He’s been handling my build with the kind of focus usually reserved for someone trying to shave three seconds off a compression algorithm.
Beyond being a top-tier engineer, he’s actually a decent human—a rare "pivot" from the usual antisocial devs I encounter. If you’re looking for someone who understands that "platform-agnostic" isn't just a buzzword and who won't accidentally delete your entire database while chasing a vanity metric, Deric is your guy.
- Joe Simmons (reMember Founder & CEO)
Deric has been such a strong partner for our team. He does so much more than development work. He helps us think through big-picture strategy, pushes us to ask the right questions, and makes sure what we’re building actually works for how our business operates and grows. With Ivy specifically, he’s helped us strengthen the reliability of our billing and time-tracking systems, think ahead about scalability, and catch issues before they impact clients. He’s proactive, incredibly thoughtful, and truly invested in our success. At this point, he feels like an extension of our leadership team rather than an outside vendor, and we trust him completely.
- Mary-Margaret Arnold (Head of Data & IT)
When we first started, the app we had wasn’t even usable for computers . Over the past year, Deric has completely transformed that into a system that now allows us to create estimates and invoices through a custom-built platform tailored to our needs. His responsiveness has been one of the biggest things that stands out—anytime we’ve had questions or run into issues, he has always made sure to answer or call us back and get things resolved.
What really sets him apart is his vision for the future. He’s not just fixing problems—he’s building a system that will soon allow us to manage employees, track inventory in real time, and run our company more efficiently from one place.
- Ashley Guzman (Office Manager)
I can’t begin to tell you how impressed and pleased I am of the amazing work Deric has done for my business. He did everything as he promised. In fact above and beyond what I expected. He provided great insights and advice when requested. And was very patient with all of my requested edits and revisions. I can’t recommend Deric McCurry enough. And I look forward to using him in our next projects.
- Bradley Stroud (Founder & CEO)
Working with Deric completely transformed the way we run our business. He built us a fully custom ERP that fits our company far better than the generic free platform we were using before. We now have customer portals for scheduling and service history, tech portals for clock-ins and payroll tracking, and an admin dashboard that gives me real-time insight into efficiency, profit, loss, and overall operations. It’s streamlined our systems, improved communication, and made scaling the business so much easier.
- Cassie Dupree (Owner)
Deric consistently delivers creative IT solutions tailored precisely to business needs. He demonstrated strong adaptability by designing a custom, cost-effective system from the ground up, consolidating a fragmented multi-carrier book of business into a streamlined reporting solution. His ability to scale features appropriately ensured both efficiency and long-term value.
- Mason Colvin (Founder & CEO)
When Deric gave me the first demo of what he’s building for my business it had only been a week, and it looked awesome. His product is good! And he knows what he's talking about. Highly recommend you take a second to see if he can somehow make your life easier for what you’re trying to do!
