Technical guidance for leaders and founders who need a real partner that they can trust.Trevor Arnold brings ten years of experience across software development, engineering leadership, and business strategy — helping founders set technical direction, filling critical gaps on established teams, and building software that real people actually want to use. Based in Northwest Iowa, serving clients across the country.
For founders and leaders navigating high-stakes technical decisions.Whether you're evaluating a new AI technology, build-vs-buy decision, setting direction for a new product, or trying to untangle technical debt that's slowing the team down, strategic clarity comes from experience. Engagements are scoped to your decision — from a focused strategy session to an ongoing advisory relationship — so you get senior perspective without the overhead of a full-time hire.Ideal when you need: a second opinion, a roadmap, or a sounding board you can trust.
For teams and businesses with a clear problem and the need for a reliable build.From internal tools that save your team hours a week to full web applications your customers depend on, development engagements focus on software that gets used — not software that sits. Every project is grounded in understanding the people who'll actually use it, because the best technical solution is the one that makes someone's work easier.Ideal when you need: a project shipped, not just coded.
For early-stage companies that need senior technical leadership without a senior salary.Step into the CTO seat for founders building their first product or scaling past their v1.0. Responsibilities flex to your stage — setting architecture direction, determining how AI can help you build your business, hiring and mentoring early engineers, translating between the business and the build, and making sure the technology you're investing in actually supports where the company is going.Ideal when you need: ongoing technical leadership, not a one-off project.
For engineering teams that need a senior contributor, fast.When your team is stretched and hiring takes months you don't have or need — matching your stack, your process, and your standards. Think of it less as a contractor and more as a senior teammate on demand.Ideal when you need: experienced hands on a specific initiative, without a long ramp.
Being a team of one (myself) the technical capabilities of Arnold Technologies are the technical capabilities of myself. On my personal GitHub, I've included a list of technologies I have had experience with (Java, TypeScript, Vue, etc.) , both professionally or personally.

Building real time dashboard for test results in Angular
Building web application in Vue for local startup
Managed team of software and data developers at largest public safety software companies in the country
Develop web application to automate appliance estimates for customers. Before application was built, creating a new estimate would take 15+ minutes, now it only takes 2 minutes. Staff now say they look forward to putting together quotes because they get to use the new software.

"I've worked with several developers in the life of my startup and Trevor was always the one who consistently did what he said he would do, when he said he would do it. This simple leadership quality is very noticeable in the world of dev work and has set him apart from other talent I've worked with.
Not only do I appreciate Trevor's work ethic and development skills but I am equally appreciative of his ongoing quest to better himself, always learning more, practicing his craft, and humbling himself to learn from others."

Growing up on a farm in rural Minnesota and currently living in rural Iowa (Lester, IA), I have grown to value faith, family, and hard work. These values have pushed me to always grow and build. God has blessed me with an amazing wife, two beautiful girls, and a spoiled dog. In my spare time I enjoy getting outside, lifting weights, and the occasional video game. I have been in tech for a decade and enjoy the challenges and constant change that the industry is built around. I have a wide breadth of experience including sales, data transformation, management, and development.

Whether you are looking for assistance coding up a small app for your business or are looking to build the next great software product for millions of people, we want to connect.
