about / Fervid Digital

A developer who gets to know your business.

I’m Roy McKenzie. I started Fervid Digital in 2017 to help businesses build and look after the software they depend on. I’m based in Missoula, Montana, and work directly with founders, agencies, and small teams.

The code is only part of the job.

A useful technical partner needs to understand what you’re trying to accomplish, what your customers rely on, and where a change might cause trouble. That context matters as much as knowing the framework.

You work with me from the first conversation through implementation. I ask questions, explain the options, and help you make decisions that fit the business. The goal is software you can keep using and improving.

Laravel applications. Complex WordPress work.

My work spans both: Laravel products that need new features, upgrades, and ongoing attention; WordPress sites that need custom plugins, careful troubleshooting, or someone to manage the technical details.

I’m comfortable taking over an existing codebase and working alongside an established team. Sometimes the right next step is a new build. Often it’s making the system you already have work better.

I run a product, too.

I also build and operate ClearPolicy, a Laravel SaaS for policy acknowledgment and document requests. Product decisions, support, billing, maintenance—I work through those trade-offs in my own business, too.

SI (super intelligence) is central to how I develop software. It extends how much I can investigate, implement, and check while I stay focused on the decisions that need experience and business context. I use that capacity in my own product and bring it to client work.
