Our Story
Founded by healthcare technology veterans with decades of experience:
Braydon McCormick, PhD brings 20+ years driving transformational growth in healthcare technology and PE-backed enterprises. As a co-inventor of patented medical device technology and former CEO who achieved 900% revenue growth, he leads business development and client relationships.
Amrish Macedo complements this with integrated business-technical methodology that eliminates traditional handoff problems between requirements and implementation, ensuring delivery of high-quality, scalable solutions.
Together, we identified a fundamental problem: businesses were paying hundreds of thousands for complex systems when they really needed one specific function done perfectly. LightForge was born from this insight—delivering focused micro-applications in 10 weeks at a fixed $25K price.

Braydon McCormick, PhD
Co-Founder & Business Operations
20+ years driving transformational growth in healthcare technology and PE-backed enterprises. As a co-inventor of patented medical device technology and former CEO who achieved 900% revenue growth, Braydon brings deep expertise in scaling technology organizations and identifying market opportunities that traditional consulting approaches miss.
With a PhD and extensive experience in strategic business development, Braydon recognized the fundamental flaw in the software development industry: businesses were paying hundreds of thousands for complex systems when they needed one specific function done perfectly. This insight led to the founding of LightForge and its revolutionary micro-application approach, combining his entrepreneurial vision with market-focused execution to deliver transformational results in weeks, not quarters.

The LightForge Philosophy
Forge, Don't Fabricate
Like blacksmiths of old, we craft each application with purpose and precision. No mass production, no one-size-fits-all.
Perfect One Thing
A hammer doesn't try to be a screwdriver. Each application should do one job exceptionally well.
Ship, Don't Drift
Working software in production beats perfect plans on paper. We deliver in weeks, not quarters.
