What I Build

Full-Stack Web Apps Data Visualization Interactive Games Original Music Voiceover & Audio Video Production Illustration Copywriting AI-Accelerated Workflows Accessibility Audits Technical Strategy CMS & Content Systems

Every project gets the same person from concept to deployment.
No handoffs, no telephone game, no “that’s not my department.”

How I Work

Software & Platforms

Full-stack applications with real business logic. Subscription platforms, admin dashboards, internal tools, interactive data visualizations, simulation engines, games. I build the thing and design how it looks and write the copy that explains it.

Creative Production

Original music, voiceover, illustration, video, and audio production. Not stock. Not AI-generated. Made by hand, informed by the project, owned by you. If your project needs a soul, I can give it one.

Strategy & AI Acceleration

Discovery sessions, technical audits, AI workflow design, and honest advice about what to build and what to skip. I help teams integrate AI into existing workflows — not to replace people, but to remove the parts nobody should be doing manually.

About

Pleco is Conor Nolan-Finkel, working out of Portland, Oregon. I build software, compose music, draw, write, and shoot video — and I use AI to move faster on the parts that benefit from speed while doing the parts that benefit from craft by hand.

The name comes from the plecostomus — a fish that keeps its ecosystem healthy by doing the unglamorous structural work. That’s the job.

Get in Touch

Whether it’s a web app, a promise graph, a jingle, or a weird
game about Mars — tell me what you’re making.
