The consulting practice of Tom Morton · Miami, Florida
The senior engineer
businesses keep.
For nearly two decades, agencies, institutions, and enterprise teams have trusted me to build, rescue, and run the web systems they depend on. AI writes code fast. My job is making sure it's the right code, shipped safely, owned by someone accountable.

clients served, from solo founders to the enterprise
More than half of my longest engagements are agencies and enterprises who resell or depend on my work under their own name.
Three ways to work with me. The same offer underneath: a senior engineer who takes ownership.
Ongoing technical leadership
A senior owner for your web platform without the full-time hire. Architecture decisions, vendor management, security reviews, and the judgment calls in between. My longest clients have kept this arrangement for more than a decade.
How retainers work →Rescue and stabilization
Lost your developer? Inherited a site nobody dares touch? I take ownership of messy, high-stakes systems: audit, stabilize, document, and then keep them healthy.
How rescues work →Quiet delivery
White-label senior development for agencies that sell the project and need it built right, and version ones for funded founders. Built like it's going to succeed.
How delivery works →What clients are saying
Independently collected on a vetted expert marketplace, in the clients' own words. Five stars on 169 of 172 reviews.
“Tom Morton is my Go-To WebDev for high-value projects. Hiring him doesn't only get your task done - it makes your life easier.”
“Highly professional project execution, in an emergency situation that the end client got themselves into.”
“This was my business' first time contracting out development work so obviously I was a bit nervous and apprehensive about the process. Before I even hired Tom he asked very insightful questions in order to provide the most accurate estimate.”
Where AI fits, and where it doesn't
I use AI every day, and I'm open about it: in experienced hands, it makes good work faster. What it can't do is take responsibility. It won't notice the migration that quietly loses customer records, push back on a plan that will fail in six months, or answer the phone when checkout breaks in December. That's the job, and it's the part I sell: judgment, ownership, accountability. AI is a tool in the shop, not the person holding it.
One engineer, plus a crew
Six Foot 3 is my practice, not an agency with a bench of juniors. When a project needs more hands, I bring in a small crew of senior specialists I've worked with for years, engineers who run serious systems in their day jobs. You always work with me directly, and I own every outcome.
Hi, I'm Tom.
I've been building for the web since 2008: through agencies, enterprises, an Ivy League law school, and two years consulting for the company behind WordPress.com. These days I pair that experience with heavy AI leverage and a strong opinion about who should be holding the keyboard.
More about me →Questions I get asked
Are you based in the US?
Yes: Miami, Florida, on Eastern Time. You get real-time overlap with your working day, not a status update waiting for you at 6am. Most of my clients are American agencies, institutions, and businesses.
Do you work white-label with agencies?
Constantly; it's a third of my practice. I work under your brand, inside your tools, at your cadence, and your client never needs to know I exist. I spent ten years as one healthcare agency's invisible dev team and two years building client sites for the company behind WordPress.com under their name.
Who actually does the work: you, or a team?
Me. Six Foot 3 is deliberately not an agency, and there's no bench of juniors learning on your dime. When a project needs more hands, I lead a small crew of senior specialists I've worked with for years. You always work with me directly, and I own every outcome.
Do you use AI?
Every day, and I'm open about it: in experienced hands it makes good work faster. What I sell is the part AI can't do: judgment, ownership, and accountability, with a human standing behind every line that ships.
Why don't you name your clients?
Much of my work runs under other brands, white-label for agencies, or under NDA, and I take that seriously. Every engagement in the case studies is real, documented, and verifiable in a conversation.
What does an engagement cost?
Most engagements start with a paid audit, so you know exactly what you have and what it will take before committing to anything larger. Rescues and builds are fixed-scope projects; ongoing ownership runs as a monthly retainer. You'll get a real number after one conversation, not a surprise after three.
Most of my clients arrive by referral.
