AboutBluestone
A small software studio led by founder and technical lead Eric Todhunter. We build simple, robust software and hand full ownership to every client.
Why Bluestone exists
Bluestone was started out of frustration with how most agency work gets done: over-engineered systems, vendor lock-in, and more sales theater than real engineering. Eric Todhunter founded Bluestone to do serious software work without the overhead — small team, clean code, and full ownership handed back to the client.
How we work
We are a precise engineering partner, not a big agency and not an “AI agency.” Our work is built on a few simple commitments:
Simple, sane engineering
We build only what's needed. Clean architectures, readable code, and systems that hold up over time.
No vendor lock-in
You own the source code, the infrastructure, and the IP. Everything lives in your GitHub and your hosting accounts.
Practical about AI
We use AI where it genuinely helps and skip it where it doesn't. No theater, no hype-driven architecture.
Flat, predictable engagements
Fixed scope agreed up front. Honest timelines, flat pricing where possible, no surprise invoices.
Our approach
A small team, by design
We take on a limited number of projects so each one gets real focus. You work directly with the people building your system.
Built for your business
No generic templates. We take the time to understand how your business actually runs, then build software that fits.
Long-term relationships
We prefer to stick around. The longer we work together, the better we understand your operations and the more useful we become.
Led by an engineer
Bluestone is led by founder and technical lead Eric Todhunter. Every engagement runs through Eric directly, with a small team of engineers supporting the work where needed. You talk to the people actually building your system.
