Straightforward web products for startups and scaleups.
My focus is on delivering dead-simple applications to you and your customers.
You don't need a mega-scalable behemoth by an agency with a 20-person ops team when you have 10 users.
You need a functional (but not ancient-looking) and structured way to handle and automate your business process, to help your customers and staff do more with less effort & time.
What can I do for you
You are a founder, SME business owner, or investor...:
- aiming for an initial build or a part-time founding engineer...
- looking to improve your internal web portals...
- needing due diligence research...
...in order to:
- Reach your vision by building your idea
- Improve business operations by or improving your admin panel
- Understand your system with a technical report on its current design & status
...and are sick of:
- Bloated development costs from large corporates and agencies
- Contractors being slow to implement new features
- Slow, old, and ugly staff tools
The "secret" sauce
Nothing to hide here; no proprietary tech. I can tell you how it's made.
I use the following tech in nearly every project:
- TALL Stack: Tailwind, Alpine.js, Laravel and Livewire. A highly productive technology stack for web applications.
- Filament: An admin panel and Livewire interface component kit for Laravel. What this means is I don't need to create the UI for the admin panel, but instead I define its contents. This halves development time by only needing focus on what's important: your business logic.
About me
I've been building business-oriented web apps for almost a decade. I've worked in many industries from e-commerce, to fintech, to vehicle auctions and beyond.
I've done this for varying business sizes, from handfuls of staff to 200 person strong scale-ups.
I accomplish this with constant learning and deep connections within my local tech communities, as a member and leader.

How I work best
Everyone has their own preferences. I like to be up front about mine, so let's see if we fit well:
- Remote work: I love the occasional social call, but life is too short to commute.
- Async work, meaningful meetings: Let's hop on a call and discuss important things. Status updates, "this could have been an email", etc. can stay in text mode.
- Written is golden: Precise, useful, detailed documentation is always useful.
- Measure results, not metrics: I provide regular status updates, not time sheets and sprint points.
- No NDAs: Your IP and confidential info are yours and I respect it. NDAs are a minefield, however.
Billing
For new projects, I offer a fixed price on a fixed scope.
For ongoing work and maintenance, I offer a fixed retainer for a set percentage of my availability.
