Studio
Two Pixels Short is a small AI software studio focused on practical internal tools, rapid prototypes, automation workflows, and full-stack web applications.
I’m Chris Martindale, the builder behind Two Pixels Short — a rapid software studio focused on turning ideas into working MVPs, prototypes, internal tools, and automation systems. My work combines full-stack development, AI-assisted coding workflows, product thinking, and hands-on problem solving. I focus on getting to usable software quickly: something you can click, test, demo, improve, and build from. Instead of spending weeks over-planning a first version, I help move ideas into working form fast. That makes it easier to validate the concept, discover what matters, and decide what should be built next.
