About
HMB Software is Russell Mathews and Chad King. We started the company because we kept watching small operators — bakers, canners, lawn-service owners — try to run their businesses on software that wasn't built for them. We thought we could do better, so we did.
Founder & Ops
Russell is one half of HMB. He’s the person you’ll trade emails with about your project — and the person on the other end of most of the keyboards. He works across the stack, from databases to deploys, and likes building software for people who actually use it.
Outside of HMB, he’s around small-scale food and home production — which is part of why HMB ended up where it did.
Founder & Ops
Chad is the other half of HMB. He builds across the stack and runs ops — the parts of a software company that have to keep working at 2 a.m. He’s the reason our apps deploy cleanly and our backups exist.
He’s the kind of engineer who’d rather fix a thing once and well than three times in a hurry.
We design, build, and run our own apps. This first-hand experience informs every custom project we take on.
Our engineering philosophy is rooted in stability. We build systems that work at 2 a.m. so you don't have to worry.
