Clay Bitner
I'm Clay. I'm a husband, dad of six, pastor, software developer, and filmmaker in Edmonton. I co-own Digital Indoorsmen, and I've been working in software and media for more than 25 years.
I like building things and figuring out how to make them simpler. This page brings together some of my work and the places you can find me.
I enjoy taking a fuzzy idea and working out what to build. Sometimes that's a web application or a database. Sometimes it's a film.
I use AI to help with development, including prototypes, refactoring, and testing. I understand what I ship and take responsibility for it.
I like figuring out what people need and building something they can use. My work includes software, video, and leading teams.
I most enjoy building with Laravel and Vue.js, but modern tools have let me experiment across platforms and languages. I'm just as happy designing databases, building tools that help a team work better, or improving legacy PHP code.
I can sit down with owners, staff, designers, and developers, listen to what they need, and help work out what to do next.
I've spent more than 25 years working in software and media. I make films, edit video and sound, and work on branding and graphic design.
I'm a pastor as well as a developer. I've worked in leadership and coaching in both settings, and I want to understand what matters to the people I'm working with.
