Software development
Full-stack applications for web and mobile — from architecture and data models to polished interfaces and cloud deployment. Built to be maintained, not just launched.

JOD Solutions is the studio of Joshua O’Donoghue — software developer, AI consultant, and systems integrator with a deep background in supply chain and retail. I build applications, agentic AI systems, and commerce platforms on Shopify, and I help businesses turn AI ambitions into working software.
01 / Services
Most AI and commerce projects fail on the software side, not the idea side. I work across the whole stack, so what gets designed actually gets built, integrated, deployed, and maintained.
01 — Build
Full-stack applications for web and mobile — from architecture and data models to polished interfaces and cloud deployment. Built to be maintained, not just launched.
02 — Think
Practical AI for real products: LLM integration, agentic workflows, MCP servers and tool use, retrieval, and evaluation — plus the strategy to know what is worth building in the first place.
03 — Sell
Custom Shopify apps, storefront work, and the integrations that connect commerce to inventory, fulfillment, and back-office systems — informed by years inside supply chain and retail.
04 — Ship
JOD Solutions builds and operates its own products — CardVenture and North Pole Portal — and partners on DocGen. They are the proving ground for the tooling, standards, and AI workflows I bring to client work.
Selected work02 / Expertise
I came to software through the business side of it. That shapes how I build: systems that fit how a company actually runs, not just how the spec reads.
An extensive background in supply chain and retail operations — inventory, orders, fulfillment, and the systems behind them — so the software I build reflects how the business really works.
Shopify storefronts and custom Shopify apps, plus the integrations that keep commerce in step with the rest of the operation.
Designing tool-using agents and Model Context Protocol servers that let AI act inside real business systems — with the guardrails and evaluation to trust them.
Expert integrator and problem solver: connecting platforms, data, and AI services into one working whole, and untangling the ambiguous, legacy-shaped problems that stall projects.
03 / Selected work
Two products I founded and run through JOD Solutions, and one I help build as a partner. Working software, not mockups.
AI-personalized gift experiences. Instead of a code, the recipient opens a story, song, or game made for them — for individuals on iOS, and for merchants through Shopify.
A little everyday Christmas magic for families: personalized storybooks starring your own family, with AI illustrations and Santa’s voice. A daily-magic app with personal messages and live nice-list meters is in the works for Holiday 2026.
AI meeting software for municipal government. Turns a stack of documents into a ready board packet — drafted agendas, live roll calls, sealed public records, and an audit trail on everything. I’m a partner on the product, not the owner.
04 / About
I’m a software developer, AI consultant, and systems integrator with an extensive background in supply chain and retail. JOD Solutions LLC is the company behind my consulting work and the apps I build and operate.
It’s small by design. There is no account manager and no hand-off: you work directly with the person designing the system and writing the code, from the first conversation to the last deploy.
