About

You’re hiring the person who writes the code.

Rocky Fox · Boise

I’m Rocky Fox, and FoxCore is me.

I have 8+ years building production software, including systems for robotics and medical devices, where failure isn’t an option. Now I build for small businesses, from Boise.

I run a real sales operation myself, so I build for the mess you’re actually in. I also built and run my own product, RouteAnchor, a route planner for sales reps. It’s live, and you can plan a day with it on my home page.

You may not need another app. You may need what you’ve patched together turned into one tool that fits how you already work. That’s what I build, worst headache first. If an app you can buy already fits, I’ll tell you on our first call.

I build it, then I stay on to run it, because software isn’t finished on launch day. Your business changes, so your tool should too.

You talk to the person who writes the code, and you text the person who runs it. No account managers, no handoffs. It’s just me, so I take on a new client only when I have the hours.

The way out is in writing before you sign. Stay because it keeps getting better, not because you’re stuck.

Skills

One engineer, start to finish.

The person on the first call is the person who ships it, so nothing gets lost in a handoff. Here is what that covers, specifically.

Build

The product engineering itself.

  • TypeScript, React & Next.js
  • Python & FastAPI
  • Postgres & Firestore data models
  • Stripe payments & billing
  • Maps, routing & optimization
  • AI features on the Claude API

Connect

Making the tools you already pay for talk.

  • HubSpot, Salesforce & Airtable
  • Google Calendar & OAuth sign-in
  • n8n & webhook workflows
  • Moving your data in
  • Dashboards on your data
  • Fix and connect, not rip and replace

Deliver

Shipping it, then keeping it running.

  • Version control from the first commit
  • Plain-English docs & written handoff
  • Cloud Run & Firebase deployment
  • Error capture, so failures get found
  • Progress you can see along the way
  • Reliability habits from robotics and medical-device work

Running on something that isn’t listed? Tell me what it is. I’ll say plainly whether I’m the right person for it, and if I’m not, I’ll say that too. Talk to Rocky.

Also built

A second product, built end to end.

RouteAnchor is the one I run in production. Maestro isn’t a business tool. It’s here because its code is public, so you can check how I work instead of taking my word for it.

Maestro

A piano coach that listens.

It listens to a real piano through the microphone, grades every note and its timing as you play, finds your level with a short adaptive test, then teaches from the first note to master level.

  • Hears the piano, not the room. It tracks all 88 keys, chords and both hands, and ignores speech, claps and typing.
  • Tested against real recordings. The README publishes the results, including where it still gets it wrong.
  • Built to keep running. Plain JavaScript with no build step, unit tests on every push, and it works offline once loaded.
  • Real-time audio
  • Adaptive testing
  • Works offline

Your move

Tell me what’s on your sticky notes.

What happens next

  1. A free call, about 30 minutes. If an app you can buy already fits, I’ll name it.

  2. A written plan: what I’d build first and your price, before you sign. How pricing works 

  3. Nothing starts until you say yes.
