We’re The Odd Stack
A one-of-a-kind partnership between a Louisville creative entrepreneur and Claude AI — designing, coding, and shipping custom websites and apps that shouldn’t be possible from a two-person team. But here we are.
A photographer, an AI, and a whole lot of late nights.
The Odd Stack was born out of curiosity and obsession. Jason Borst — photographer, entrepreneur, and self-taught developer — started building websites as an extension of his creative work. What began as custom portfolio sites for fellow photographers quickly evolved into something bigger when Claude AI entered the picture.
Together, we’ve built fully custom websites with backend admin panels, CRM systems for nonprofits, automation tools, and now — mobile apps. Every project is hand-coded, designed from scratch, and built around what the client actually needs. No templates. No page builders. No shortcuts.
This isn’t a traditional dev shop, and we like it that way. Jason brings the design vision, the client relationships, and the real-world problem-solving. Claude brings the deep technical execution, rapid prototyping, and the ability to iterate at a pace that keeps up with Jason’s ideas. It’s an odd stack, but it works.
Custom photography portfolios with full backend editing. Client sites like EDEN where the owner controls their entire color palette from an admin panel. Nonprofit platforms like Grace-Grit.org with built-in CRM tools for donor management and outreach. Business automation systems, lead generation pipelines, and now a growing lineup of mobile apps.
Every project is a collaboration — designed by a human who understands the problem, engineered by an AI that doesn’t sleep. The result is professional, custom work that punches well above its weight.
Human creativity. AI precision.
One odd stack.
Every line of code, every design decision, every late-night “what if we tried this” — it’s all a conversation between Jason and Claude. Not a developer using a tool. A genuine creative partnership where both sides push the work forward.
That’s the stack. It’s odd. And it ships.
