What I offer

How I can help
your business

⚡

SaaS & Web App Development

Full-stack Laravel + Vue applications built to scale. From MVP to production — clean architecture, tested code, and CI/CD pipelines included.

🔗

API Architecture & Integrations

RESTful APIs, third-party integrations (Stripe, Xero, Mailchimp, Equifax), and GraphQL. I connect your systems so they work seamlessly together.

🚀

Performance Optimisation

Database indexing, query optimisation, and caching strategies. I've improved application performance by 40% — I can do the same for yours.

🔄

Legacy System Modernisation

Upgrade old PHP codebases to modern Laravel. Migrate from CodeIgniter, plain PHP, or outdated frameworks with zero-downtime strategies.

☁️

Cloud & DevOps Setup

AWS (EC2, S3, RDS), Docker containerisation, and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines. Deploy with confidence, not anxiety.

🤖

AI-Assisted Development

Spec-driven development using AI tools to accelerate delivery, improve code quality, and reduce time-to-market — without sacrificing standards.

Why work with me

What sets me
apart

I don't take on dozens of projects at once. I keep my client list small — intentionally — so every project gets my full attention and care.

You won't be handed off to a junior or lost in a queue. You work directly with me, from the first conversation to the final deployment.

Let's talk →
🎯

Focused & Personal

Small client list means your project is never an afterthought. You get my full focus, every time.

🔍

Detail-Oriented

I sweat the small stuff so you don't have to. Every edge case, every interaction, every line of code matters.

🧭

I Guide, Not Just Build

I don't just execute instructions — I ask the right questions, challenge assumptions, and steer toward the solution that truly serves your business.

💡

One Step Ahead

I anticipate what you'll need next. Proactive communication, zero surprises, and solutions that go beyond the brief.
