ABOUT / INDEPENDENT ENGINEERING

Purposeful work, built to last.

Potomac Solutions is an emerging founder-led web engineering studio building its reputation through real software, open-source contribution, and transparent technical decisions.

THE FOUNDER

One accountable point of contact.

Michael Nichols is establishing Potomac Solutions around the same standards-first engineering approach reflected in his independent and open-source projects. Current work includes web interfaces, Rust/WebAssembly, and developer tools.

The business is in its early stages. We do not present a large team, paid client case studies, or credentials we cannot substantiate.

THE ENGINEERING POSITION

Independent of the framework. Committed to the web.

Standards first

Use HTML, CSS, and browser APIs where they already serve the requirement.

Framework agnostic

Work with the existing system when a client needs compatibility, not a rewrite for its own sake.

Dependency conscious

Understand long-term costs and upgrade responsibilities before introducing dependencies.

Evidence over claims

Show source code, actual decisions, and verified behavior instead of invented performance figures.
