About

Engineer. Founder. Problem-solver.

I'm Ariel Deres, a senior software engineer based in New Orleans with 13+ years of experience across mobile, full-stack, and enterprise software. I've worked at organizations ranging from defense contractors to cannabis-industry startups, and I've built and shipped two live mobile apps of my own.

I built Well Walt Studios as a home for independent work — shipping products I care about and partnering with teams who need a trusted senior engineer, not an agency.

Let's build something.

I take on a limited number of contracts at a time so I can do my best work on each one. If you have a project in mind, I'd love to hear about it.
