About the studio · Phoenix, AZ · US-deployed
Built to ship. Not to pitch.
Kingbird Solutions is a custom software development studio based in Phoenix. Chris King runs every engagement from kickoff through handoff. Everything ships to your repo, your cloud, your IP.
What we do
One service. Done right.
We build custom software for founders who aren't engineers. That means inheriting the code when a dev leaves, running the roadmap when an agency drops you, and scoping fixed-price builds when the path is clear. The work ends with your team operating the product without us in the room.
Delivery runs through a senior US operator. Engineering capacity sits behind them. Everything lands in your repo, on your cloud, with the runbook written before handoff.
The studio also ships its own products: BuddySOS on iOS and Android and the RDY VIP podcast, built on the same bench we sell. That's where the delivery muscle gets exercised.
The team
Who's in the room
Chris King
Founder & senior operator
Fifteen years shipping software and running delivery for small teams. Chris owns every engagement from kickoff through handoff. The named US operator in the room when you need one.
AJ Smith
Sales & scoping partner
AJ handles scoping, commercial terms, and pricing for all Kingbird engagements.
Behind the team: two vetted delivery partners (Newcombin and Enigmatix Global) who staff engineers onto engagements based on the stack. Every line of code ships through Chris's review before it hits your repo.
