Building the tools
I wish existed.

Skeel Software is a one-person studio making focused, well-crafted software.

About

I'm Doug Gerhardt, a software engineer with over 15 years of experience building enterprise-grade software. By day, I work as a technical lead and internal consultant, helping teams tackle hard problems and ship faster through modern CI/CD, automation, and agentic AI practices.

I started Skeel Software because I wanted to build and ship my own products — things I personally wanted to use and couldn't find elsewhere. The company is a vehicle for that, and for the occasional contract engagement where I can bring the same depth to someone else's problem.
