Web Developer and Tech Leader

Tim Arnold

I help progressive nonprofit organizations wrangle technology without losing their minds (or their values).

After 25+ years building websites and leading tech teams at agencies serving nonprofits, I know what actually works and what's just going to waste your time and money.

Whether you need someone to lead your tech team, build your website, architect a solution, or just figure out why nothing works the way it's supposed to—I can help. Available for fractional leadership, project-based work, or ongoing consulting.

How I Can Help Your Organization

Technology Leadership & Strategy

  • Overall direction of web tech initiatives
  • Technology roadmap development
  • Budget planning and resource allocation
  • Vendor evaluation and selection
  • Internal technical audits

Translation: I help you make the big tech decisions and implement them.

Team Management & Development

  • Managing development teams (Junior Developers all the way up to Tech Leads and Directors)
  • Hiring and vetting technical talent
  • Performance management with empathy
  • Process improvement and team culture building
  • Training and professional development

Because good people deserve good management, not just “figuring it out.”

Business Development & Sales Support

  • Technical sales pursuit support
  • Proposal writing and technical scoping
  • Client consultation on technical requirements
  • Competitive analysis and positioning

I can talk to clients without making them wish they'd never asked about “the tech stuff.”

Web Development & Technical Execution

  • Full-stack web development (25+ years experience)
  • Accessibility and performance optimization
  • CMS implementation and customization
  • Modern frontend frameworks and tools
  • Server administration and DevOps

I still write code because I actually like it, and I'm pretty good at it too.

Progressive Nonprofit Specialization

  • Deep understanding of nonprofit organizational culture
  • Sensitivity to budget constraints and mission alignment
  • Knowledge of nonprofit-specific compliance requirements
  • Understanding of accessibility as a social justice issue

I get it. Your mission matters more than the latest JavaScript framework.

Systems Administration & Operations

  • Google Workspace administration
  • Task tracking tools (Jira, Monday.com, etc.)
  • Version control systems (GitLab, GitHub)
  • Security audits and compliance
  • Backup and disaster recovery planning

The boring but essential stuff that keeps everything running smoothly.
