Built from real-world experience.

12bytes is owned by Tom Stout and focuses on building clean, functional, and professional digital systems for modern businesses. From websites and online stores to custom business software and workflow automation, 12bytes creates solutions designed around real-world business needs.

What makes 12bytes different is the diverse professional background behind the work. Tom’s experience spans law enforcement, accounting, tax preparation, entrepreneurship, commercial drone operations, professional photography, and software development. That combination of technical knowledge and real-world business experience provides a unique understanding of how businesses actually operate day-to-day — not just how software should look on paper.

Rather than building generic solutions, 12bytes uses modern development tools, automation, and custom software design to solve practical business problems.  Many of the applications and systems developed by 12bytes are inspired by real operational workflows and firsthand industry experience, resulting in tools that are streamlined, efficient, and designed to help businesses save time, stay organized, and operate more effectively.
