About ProjectThunder

A senior B2B e-commerce and software studio that still picks up the phone — since 2004.

Founded 2004. Senior team. Real partnerships. We design with precision, lead with presence, and build the kind of software our clients can trust to keep working long after we've moved on to the next thing together.

In business since 2004
The Studio

A studio that remembers what matters.

ProjectThunder has been quietly building software since 2004 — long enough that "responsive design" wasn't a phrase yet and "AI" meant something very different. What hasn't changed: the work, the care, and the people who came to us because they were tired of being shipped half-built systems by companies that didn't read their email.

We're a small studio on purpose. Senior engineers, designers, and AI specialists who stay close to the work — and to the clients. The people who scoped your project are the people who ship it.

Today we serve B2B and B2C teams across e-commerce, custom software, mobile, and agentic AI — moving with intention from the front door of your store to the systems running quietly behind it.

By the Numbers

Two decades of shipping.

20+

Years in business

Founded 2004. Through dot-com aftershocks, mobile, the cloud, and now the AI shift — still here, still small, still senior.

3

Platform partnerships

Sana-certified, BigCommerce-experienced, DynamicWeb partners — depth in the platforms that actually power B2B commerce.

7

Senior makers

A deliberately small team of senior engineers, designers, and QA — the people building it, paired in carefully so context isn’t lost between hands.

How We Work

Proactive. Transparent. Pragmatic about AI.

Our framework is built around reducing risk, ensuring timely delivery, and keeping every engagement transparent through clear, consistent communication. AI now amplifies all of it.

We use AI for you.

AI changes how we estimate, design, code, test, document, and migrate. You get more value in fewer billable hours — same senior judgment, with the boring parts taken out.

We build AI with you.

Copilots, agentic workflows, RAG over your real catalog and ERP. We build the AI into your business so your team can lead — not just keep up.

We answer the phone.

The senior who scopes your project is the senior who ships it. No layered project managers between you and the people doing the work.

Who We Serve

B2B and B2C teams who refuse to settle.

Mid-market manufacturers

Companies running real ERPs (SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, NetSuite) who need their commerce to mirror reality — not a copy of it.

B2B distributors & brands

Wholesale, foodservice, jewelry, hardware, apparel. Catalogs deep enough that buyers need search and quoting that actually work.

Operators ready for AI

Teams who want copilots and agentic systems shipped responsibly — measurably reducing tickets, improving conversion, accelerating cycle time.

Calvin Luttrell, Founder and CEO
A Word from the Founder

Calvin Luttrell, CEO & Founder

Calvin started writing software at 19, before the dot-com bust gave anyone reason to wonder if it was a career path. By the time he founded ProjectThunder in 2004 he'd already shipped enough commerce work to be opinionated about how it should be done. He'd also been around enough agencies that didn't read their email to insist on building one that did.

Twenty years later, that's still the line he holds the studio to. Every project gets a senior on it from day one, not a project manager between you and the actual maker. Every engagement runs on the framework he developed early: reduce risk, communicate consistently, treat the work like it's the studio's own venture. The proactive approach the rest of the team builds on today started as how Calvin ran his own desk.

Today he's hands-on across Sana Commerce, BigCommerce, DynamicWeb, .NET MAUI, and the agentic AI systems the studio now builds for clients who want their internal teams to move faster. He runs the studio's own infrastructure, writes the brand voice himself, and operates with the same lightning-and-thunder ethic the name suggests: precise, present, and impossible to ignore.

CFO

Christin keeps the business operations running smoothly as our CFO at ProjectThunder. Her interpersonal skills create an environment where sharing ideas and keeping everyone on the same page is par for the course.

Christin's extensive business background and attention to detail have made a monumental impact on our ability to perform — her dedication has saved clients thousands by finding more efficient means whenever possible.

A jack of all trades, she shares a passion for dancing and painting, puts her nutrition certification to use cooking foods that promote a healthy lifestyle, and happens to be the creator of one of the best hot sauces ever known to man — just saying.

Criselda Cac

Criselda Cac

UI / UX

As the lead designer for ProjectThunder, Criselda genuinely enjoys the creative process. Her ability to add functionality and aesthetic value to an existing foundation is unusually strong. Her toolkit has evolved with the industry — Figma for UI/UX and prototyping, the Adobe Creative Cloud suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) for asset work, and a sharp focus on accessibility and design systems — turning code into the masterpiece that is your company’s representation.

Her process begins by grasping each client's vision and developing a concept that will allow for a successful launch or rebranding. Her artistic background keeps our clients' sites easy to navigate and visually current — modern type, intentional motion, and responsive layouts that hold up from phone to ultrawide. In her free time she enjoys film-making, media development, editing, sculpture, and painting.

Edrian Luna

Edrian Luna

Full Stack & Mobile Dev

Edrian Luna is a senior .NET MAUI and ASP.NET Core developer here at ProjectThunder and has been with the company for several years. His skills span .NET 10 / ASP.NET Core, .NET MAUI for cross-platform mobile (and the Xamarin codebases it succeeded), native Android and iOS, REST and minimal-API services, and Azure-hosted backends — which makes him a natural fit for migrating legacy mobile codebases forward and shipping the back-office services that go with them.

Edrian holds a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from FEU Institute of Technology, and we're fortunate to have him as part of ProjectThunder.

Full Stack Web Dev

Myleen Ganuza is a full-stack web application developer here at ProjectThunder, currently residing in Manila, PH. She's been in the web-dev industry since 2013 and works across PHP and C# / ASP.NET Core, with comfort on both sides of the wire — modern HTML and CSS, JavaScript and TypeScript, REST APIs, and the build / deploy pipelines that hold it all together. When she builds a site she's attentive to details and strives for the very best in her work.

Myleen enjoys work that challenges her and pushes her to learn something new — she goes out of her way to stay on top of changes in technology so she's well-suited to complete any project that comes her way. Myleen is a tremendous asset to our team.

Reggie Tapan

Reggie Tapan

Full Stack Developer

Reggie Tapan is an accomplished full-stack developer with an extensive background that spans full-stack web, Android, and iOS — now working primarily in .NET MAUI for cross-platform mobile (the modern successor to his Xamarin-certified work) alongside ASP.NET Core for the services behind the apps.

He holds a B.S. in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science from the Universidad de Manila, and has shipped notable projects with ProjectThunder over the years — including our work on the Vera Bradley site. One of his favorite past projects was a third-party crew-management app for United Airlines flight attendants.

In his spare time Reggie is sharpening his Azure skills (cloud-deployed .NET stacks are his current focus), spending time with his fiancée, and unwinding with anime and manga. He's a perfect team player and a diligent member of ProjectThunder.

Rodel Abapo

Rodel Abapo

QA Specialist

Rodel Abapo is our QA lead at ProjectThunder. He has a background in software support engineering and software testing, and is a graduate (full-ride scholar) of De La Salle College of Saint Benilde. Rodel covers both manual and automated QA — exploratory passes for the things that don't yet have rules, and growing regression suites that lock in the things that do — so each release ships with steady coverage instead of last-minute heroics.

Rodel has an exceptional project history — games, e-commerce sites, mobile applications, and a wide variety of software programs around the world. He shines through his work ethic and is a deeply loyal team member through every project. Outside of work he enjoys video games and basketball. We're privileged to have found Rodel and to work with him.
