Local operator context, on-the-ground execution, remote-friendly delivery.
About Alyeska Dev
Two lanes. One promise: clear outcomes and durable execution.
Alyeska Dev exists for one reason: Alaska founders and operators shouldn’t have to choose between “cheap and messy” and “expensive and slow.”
We run two lanes to keep things simple: Lane A is Fractional CTO / Technical Partner for teams shipping product; Lane B is Local Web Presence for businesses that need a premium website that drives leads and stays maintained.
Performance-first
Fast load times, mobile-first layouts, clean deployments.
Practical security
Modern auth patterns, sane defaults, and operational hygiene.
You keep what we build
Repos, docs, and handoff that your team can extend.
Built in Alaska, optimized for real operators: clear scope, clean handoff, and systems that don’t fall apart after launch.
Primary focus
Two service lanes
Fractional CTO / Technical Partner + Local Web Presence for Alaska businesses.
Stack
Next.js + TypeScript
Modern web builds with clean handoff and maintainability as a first-class requirement.
What we optimize for
Most people hit the About page to answer two questions: “Are you legit?” and “Will this be easy to work with?” This is the operating philosophy.
Clear scope, clear outcomes
Customers should know exactly what they’re buying. We define deliverables, milestones, and ownership upfront—then execute against that.
Move fast without breaking things
Speed matters, but so does durability. We ship quickly with sane defaults: performance, security basics, and reliable deployments.
Founder-friendly communication
No jargon walls. You get direct updates, practical tradeoffs, and a plan you can actually execute—whether you’re technical or not.
Working style
- Clear deliverables and milestones (no vague “support”)
- Fast feedback loops without meeting overload
- Clean handoff: repo access, docs, and next steps
- Optional ongoing coverage so you’re not stranded after launch
If it’s not a fit, we’ll tell you early and point you toward the simplest alternative.
The two lanes
We keep lanes separate so scope stays clean and expectations stay obvious.
Lane A: Fractional CTO & Technical Partner
- Roadmaps, architecture, standards, and delivery cadence
- Hands-on help for MVPs, integrations, and critical launches
- A senior technical partner to reduce risk and increase speed
Lane B: Local Web Presence
- Premium marketing websites (fast, modern, conversion-focused)
- Local SEO foundations + conversion tracking
- Monthly care so your site stays sharp and stable
Meet Caleb
Caleb Forestal runs Alyeska Dev while studying computer science at UAA. The studio grew out of building real projects under real deadlines—where “pretty later” loses to “working now.”
If you need a senior technical partner to de-risk decisions or a premium website that looks credible and converts, the goal is the same: ship something durable, clearly scoped, and easy to maintain.
Practical note
Alyeska Dev is intentionally small. That’s the point: fewer layers, faster decisions, cleaner work, and direct accountability.
Questions people ask before booking
Are you an agency?
Think “small, senior, and outcome-driven.” Alyeska Dev stays lean to keep communication direct and execution fast. When needed, we coordinate trusted specialists (design, photo/video, or fabrication) without turning your project into a vendor circus.
What kinds of clients are a fit?
Lane A fits startups and teams that need technical leadership and delivery. Lane B fits local Alaska businesses that want a premium website plus ongoing care. If your main goal is a cheap brochure site, we’re probably not the best match.
Do you work with UAA / student founders?
Yes. We’re founder-friendly and used to pitch-night timelines. We’ll keep scope realistic and focus on what moves outcomes.
Want a simple plan?
Book a call and we’ll sort lane fit, scope, timeline, and pricing quickly.
