Freelance software development & search engine optimization for Hudson County, NJ & beyond.

Software Development

Custom web and mobile applications — including React Native and native iOS apps — that turn manual work into measurable outcomes. I build software that saves organizations time, reaches more of the people they serve, and delivers the kind of operational leverage that usually only enterprise teams can afford.

  • Cut operating costs. Automate repetitive tasks — data entry, reporting, scheduling, invoicing — so your team can focus on mission-critical work instead of manual busywork.
  • Unlock new revenue. Subscription platforms, online payments, paywalled content, and e-commerce flows — purpose-built to open revenue streams your current website can't.
  • Reach your community where they are. Mobile apps, push notifications, and real-time tools meet members on the device they already use, driving engagement and retention.
  • Make smarter decisions. Dashboards, analytics, and AI-powered insights turn the data you already collect into clear direction for your next move.

About

A freelance developer
who's shipped at
every scale.

I'm Roberto Rodas-Herndon, a Boston University Computer Science graduate & software developer. While at Boston University, I served as President of the Hack4Impact chapter (2021–2023), leading a student-run team that built free software for non-profits — the same mission that inspired the founding of HudsonTech.

From navigating Pinterest's codebase at their headquarters in San Francisco alongside senior engineers, to providing technical insights across the enterprise at PSEG, I bring big-company engineering rigor to organizations that need it most — those shaping their communities.

Every project ships with modern architecture and a focus on real-world impact. I'm also bilingual (English & Spanish), which helps me serve Hudson County's diverse communities directly in their language.
