About

An engineer who stays for the hard part

I've spent 6+ years building the systems behind fintech dashboards, edtech platforms, legal case management and IoT networks — usually as the person who takes a vague requirement and returns a working product, on schedule.

At PureLogics I led a team of 5+ developers, set the code-review standard that cut production bugs by 35%, and made deployments three times more frequent. At Algoastics I architected a fintech admin platform now used by 5,000+ people.

I write PHP and JavaScript I'd happily hand over to another engineer, and I care about the boring parts: tests, monitoring, documentation and release notes.

Services

How you can work with me

From a single feature to a full product build — and everything in between.

Web app development

Full product builds from empty repo to launch: architecture, features, tests and deployment.

  • Laravel or Node backends
  • Vue / React frontends
  • Launch-ready code

API & backend architecture

Clean, documented APIs your mobile and web clients can rely on as traffic grows.

  • REST + auth (Sanctum, Passport)
  • Queue & cache design
  • Load-tested endpoints

Mobile apps

React Native apps backed by the same API layer, so web and mobile stay in sync.

  • React Native
  • Shared API contracts
  • App-store release support

SaaS MVPs

A sellable first version in weeks — billing, tenancy, onboarding — without throwing it away later.

  • Stripe subscriptions
  • Multi-tenant setup
  • Admin dashboard

Maintenance & reliability

Inherited a slow or fragile codebase? I audit it, stabilise it, and hand back a system you trust.

  • Performance audits
  • Refactoring & tests
  • Monitoring & alerts

Process

Four steps, no surprises

How I work with clients

  1. 01

    Discover

    We map the problem, users and constraints on a short call. No code until the goal is clear.

  2. 02

    Plan

    You get a written scope: data model, integrations, milestones and a fixed weekly cadence.

  3. 03

    Build

    Weekly demos of working software on a staging URL — no black-box development.

  4. 04

    Deliver

    Deployment, monitoring and documentation, then a handover or an ongoing support agreement.
