We’re builders. That’s it.
AbleSpark has been designing, developing, and shipping technology since 2002. We don’t just advise. We build.
The Short Version
AbleSpark is a Maryland-based software development company founded by Michael Carico with a simple idea: businesses need technology that works, and they need someone who can build it, not just talk about it. We work with clients everywhere.
Since 2002, we’ve built software, websites, integrations, automations, and tools for businesses of all sizes. Startups and established companies across healthcare, nonprofits, professional services, education, and retail. Some of it people use every day. Some of it runs quietly in the background making everything else work. See what we build.
We’re not a big agency. We don’t have a sales team. We don’t do dog-and-pony shows. You talk to the people who build your stuff, because they’re the same people.

What We Believe
Technology should solve problems, not create them.
We don’t stop at advice
We’ll dig into your problem, then we’ll build the solution. Working software beats a slide deck every time.
Right-sized solutions
Not everything needs to be enterprise-grade. Build what fits.
Straight talk
If something’s a bad idea, we’ll tell you. If there’s a simpler way, we’ll suggest it.
Owning the outcome
We don’t disappear after delivery. If something’s not right, we fix it.
The Builder Behind AbleSpark
Michael Carico has been building software since 1995. From web applications to complex integrations to databases and internal tools, he’s shipped work across industries and tech stacks for over 30 years. He holds a BS and MS in Information Systems, and he’s still learning new things every week because this industry doesn’t let you coast.
He started AbleSpark in 2002 and took it full-time in 2006 because he kept seeing the same thing: businesses struggling with technology, and nobody willing to just roll up their sleeves and solve it.

Helping Businesses Use Technology to Succeed and Grow
Every project we take on comes back to one question: does this help your business?
If the answer isn’t yes, we don’t build it.
