About

A developer who's also shipped products

I'm MaRisa Jackson, the founder of Hoplin Digital. I've been building software professionally for over 10 years, writing code, shipping products, and leading engineering teams across startups and larger organizations.

Whether you're starting from scratch or have something halfway built, I can help. I can take a project from blank file to shipped product, or step into an existing team and help get something over the finish line.

What I build

Good software is about solving the right problem. The tools are secondary. When someone asks what language I code in, my answer is whatever the project needs.

Mobile App Development

You have an idea for an app. I build it so it works on both iPhone and Android, looks great, and does exactly what you need it to do.

Flutter iOS Android Dart

Web App Development

Whether it's a customer-facing product or an internal tool your team uses every day, I build web apps that are fast, reliable, and easy to use.

Ruby on Rails React Node.js Vue.js JavaScript

API & Backend Development

The part of the software nobody sees but everyone depends on. I build the systems that power your product and connect it to the other tools your business runs on.

REST APIs Postgres Redis Third-party APIs

Fractional CTO & Product Consulting

Need someone to help figure out what to build, in what order, and how to get your team moving in the same direction? I've led product and engineering teams and can step into that role without the full-time commitment.

Let's build something together

Whether you have a fully scoped project or just a back-of-napkin idea, I'd love to hear about it. I take on a limited number of projects at a time so each one gets real attention.
