Meet the Team

Layne

Founder

Layne runs NerdySpider and is the main point of contact for clients. Over the past decade he's built, bought, and sold a handful of websites, including an ecommerce business he scaled to millions in revenue before selling. That operator's eye is why NerdySpider cuts through the noise and sticks to strategies that actually work.

Loreal

Project Manager

With a B.Sc. in Computer Engineering and a calm command of chaos, Loreal keeps work moving. She maps timelines, clears blockers, and lines up people and priorities so moving parts become finished projects. Status updates, shifting scope, last-minute deadlines. All handled. Clients stay informed. The team stays on pace. If a project ships on time and looks effortless, odds are Loreal made it happen.

Ben

Senior Designer

Ben is a senior designer with 19 years of experience shaping brand identities, websites, packaging, presentations, illustrations, and data-driven visuals across B2B, retail, and digital markets. Holding a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design, he has partnered with organizations ranging from startup confectionery brands to globally recognized paint companies. Ben's design approach balances clarity with character, ensuring every project is both functional and memorable.

Roman

Frontend Developer

Roman is our React/TypeScript guy. Quick on performance, sharp on details. He turns designs into fast, accessible web apps with Next.js, hooks them up to the data they need, and writes clean code that's easy to update. He's shipped ecommerce sites, dashboards, and real-time features over a decade-plus career. Fun fact: he also has a degree in Radio Engineering.

Vitaliy

AI Developer and Backend Engineer

Vitaliy is a backend and AI developer who builds clean, reliable systems that scale. With over 10 years of experience and a Master's in Applied Mathematics, he's worked across industries to build APIs, automate workflows, and create smart AI features. Whether it's data pipelines, web scraping, or custom AI assistants, he brings a sharp eye for detail and a methodical approach to solving tough problems.

Vlad

Frontend Developer

Vlad builds polished interfaces with bulletproof quality. He writes fast, accessible web apps in React/TypeScript and keeps code clean and easy to update. On the QA side he writes test plans and hunts down edge cases so bugs never make it to your users. If something's flaky, Vlad will usually break it in a test long before any customer can. Fun fact: before frontend and QA, Vlad mapped the world. Digitizing satellite images and GIS data for roads, buildings, and farmland.

Built by People Who
Understand Business

Many digital agencies focus purely on design or development.
At NerdySpider, our approach is different.

NerdySpider was built by someone who's spent years running real online businesses. Not just designing them, actually running them.

That operator's eye shapes how we approach every project.

Instead of chasing trends or unnecessary complexity

we focus on things that create real value:

Bringing in real leads

Cleaning up your operations

Winning more customers

Building systems that grow with you

At the end of the day, a website or platform should be an asset that helps your business grow. Not a money pit.

Our Philosophy

Most digital projects get way too complicated.

Good ones are simple:

Clear

Messaging that actually says what you do

Practical

Built around your real business goals

Efficient

Automating whatever doesn't need a human

Scalable

Built so they can grow with you, not get rebuilt every two years

Bottom line: every tool we build should earn its keep. By bringing in leads, saving time, or making your business run better.

Why Clients Work With Us

Digital projects often become overly complicated.

Clients pick us because we mix design, marketing, and tech with an actual understanding of how a business works. We don't sell BS. Just honest recommendations that work. We're not happy unless you are.

Senior Talent

You work directly with seasoned designers and developers. No junior staff hiding behind layers of account managers.

Clear Communication

Tight timelines and regular updates. You always know where things stand.

Business-Focused Strategy

Every project is designed around outcomes such as:

Bringing in leads

Winning new customers

Automating busywork

Running your business better

Long-Term Thinking

We build systems that can evolve and grow with your business rather than requiring constant rebuilding.

Where We're Based

Based in Southern Alberta, Canada. We work mostly with ag, construction, and fab businesses across the country.
