Full Cycle Development Group

Coding alone doesn't
solve problems.

Strategy does. Experience does. Understanding your business does.

With 25 years of IT experience across enterprises, startups, and everything in between, I bring more than code to the table. I bring perspective, problem-solving, and a partnership that lasts beyond deployment.

More than a developer.
A strategic partner.

I'm Chris Morris, founder of Full Cycle. For over a decade, I've helped businesses navigate the complex world of software development—not just by writing code, but by understanding what they're actually trying to achieve.

"Full Cycle" means I can join your project at any stage: from initial concept and architecture, through development and deployment, to long-term maintenance and scaling. I've seen what works and what doesn't across hundreds of projects.

I listen more than I talk. I don't try to be the smartest person in the room. And when you come to me with a project, I'll tell you honestly if there's a better way—even if it means less work for me.

Full Cycle

Strategic Thinking

I challenge assumptions and ask the questions others don't. Projects that were told "couldn't be done"—we did them.

Clear Communication

I translate tech-speak into language anyone can understand. You'll always know what's happening with your project and why.

Versatile Expertise

No codebase intimidates me. From legacy PHP to modern React, from WordPress to enterprise platforms—I adapt and deliver.

How I Can Help

From greenfield projects to legacy rescues, I bring the same level of care and expertise.

Full-Stack Development

End-to-end application development using modern frameworks and best practices. Laravel, React, Vue, Node.js—the right tool for your specific needs.

Laravel React Vue.js Node.js

Startup-Friendly

From Idea to MVP.
Done Right the First Time.

I've helped multiple startups take their ideas from napkin sketches to funded MVPs. With experience in grant-funded development projects, I understand how to maximize every dollar while building something that can scale.

When you're working with limited runway, you need more than a coder—you need someone who can help you prioritize features, avoid costly mistakes, and build a foundation that won't need to be thrown away when you grow.

I've worked with startups funded through programs like the KC Digital Sandbox and understand the unique pressures of grant-funded development timelines.

What I Bring to Startups

  • Strategic Feature Prioritization

    Build what matters first. Ship faster, validate sooner.

  • Scalable Architecture

    Code that won't become technical debt when you grow.

  • Grant-Friendly Process

    Experience with milestone-based, grant-funded projects.

  • Honest Guidance

    I'll tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.
