The person behind the studio
Hi, I'm Matt Sears.
I run MK Solutions, the software studio in Richmond, KY behind every project on this site. When you hire MK Solutions, you get a direct line to the person who builds your app — no hand-offs, no account managers, just someone who owns the work from the first conversation to the finished product.
The through-line
Talk to users. Watch the data. Ship.
Talk to the people who'll use the thing. Watch what the data actually says. Then build. It's a habit from years of user research, and it's how I approach every project — getting the problem right before writing the code that solves it.
It's how I build for clients at MK Solutions, and how I build Lightwork on nights and weekends.
Want the longer story? It's on my personal site.
Track record
A decade of shipping real products.
