Services

From technical strategy to the first wireframe to the store launch — everything I can help you decide, build, and keep running, and how each service moves your product forward.

Technical Consulting & Architecture

The most expensive mistakes in software are made before the first line of code — the wrong stack, the wrong architecture, the wrong thing built entirely. Technical consulting puts a senior engineer in the room while decisions are still cheap to change.

I can help you choose a stack that fits your team and budget, review an architecture before you commit to it, weigh build-versus-buy decisions, and plan for the scale you actually expect — so you don't spend six figures building the wrong thing.

Fractional CTO / Tech Lead

Not every company needs a full-time CTO — but every technical product needs technical leadership. A fractional engagement gives you senior direction for a fraction of an executive salary.

I can help you own the technical roadmap, hire and vet developers, review vendor proposals, and translate business goals into engineering plans — the technical co-founder you can call, without giving up equity.

MVP & Product Discovery

Most product ideas fail not because they're built badly, but because too much gets built before anyone checks whether users care. Discovery narrows an idea down to the smallest version worth shipping.

I can help you scope your idea to what actually needs building first, estimate it realistically, and ship a validation-ready MVP — so you learn from real users in weeks, not after a year of runway.

Code Audits & Technical Due Diligence

Sometimes you need to know what you're really buying — or what you've already inherited. An independent audit reveals the true state of a codebase: quality, security, maintainability, and the risks nobody mentioned.

I can help investors assess a target before an acquisition, or founders evaluate an agency-built product — with a clear written report of what's solid, what's fragile, and what it will cost to fix.

Legacy Modernization / Project Rescue

Stalled projects and aging codebases don't fix themselves — they quietly get more expensive every month. Rescue work is about taking over what exists, stabilising it, and getting it moving again.

I can help you untangle an abandoned or half-finished project, modernise a legacy stack piece by piece without a risky big-bang rewrite, and leave you with software a normal team can maintain.

Performance & Cost Optimization

Slow apps lose users, and oversized cloud bills lose margin — both are usually fixable without a rewrite. Optimization work finds where time and money actually go, then removes the waste.

I can help you profile and speed up slow pages and queries, right-size your AWS infrastructure, and cut cloud spend — often by double-digit percentages — with the savings visible on the very next invoice.

Cloud & DevOps Consulting

Good infrastructure is invisible: deploys are boring, outages are rare, and nobody SSHes into servers at midnight. Getting there takes deliberate architecture, not luck.

I can help you design your AWS architecture, set up CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure as code, and put monitoring and alerting in place — so shipping to production becomes a non-event.

Maintenance & Support Retainers

Software isn't finished at launch — dependencies age, traffic patterns change, and small issues compound when nobody's watching. A retainer keeps a senior engineer responsible for your product's health.

I can help you with ongoing monitoring, security updates, bug fixes, and a steady stream of small improvements — a predictable monthly arrangement instead of scrambling for help when something breaks.

AI Integration & Automation

AI is only valuable when it stops being a demo and starts saving hours. The wins are practical: assistants that answer from your data, documents that process themselves, workflows that run without a human in the loop.

I can help you build chat assistants grounded in your own content, automate document-heavy processes, and wire LLM tooling into your existing systems — measured by time saved, not novelty.

Team Training & Mentoring

The fastest way to improve a codebase is to improve the team that writes it. Training compounds: every practice a team internalises pays off on every feature after.

I can help you establish a healthy code review culture, onboard and mentor junior developers, and upskill your team on modern practices — drawing on years of leading engineering teams.

Third-party Integrations & API Development

Modern products rarely stand alone — they talk to payment providers, CRMs, ERPs, and partner systems. Integrations done badly become the most fragile part of a product; done well, they disappear.

I can help you connect the systems your business relies on, design clean partner-facing APIs with sensible versioning and documentation, and build the error handling that keeps data flowing when third parties hiccup.

Mockup Designs (Wireframing)

Every great product starts as a sketch. Low-fidelity wireframes and clickable mockups make ideas tangible before a line of code is written — so we can iterate on layout, flows, and structure while changes are still cheap. It's the fastest way to expose gaps in a concept, align everyone on scope, and de-risk the build before serious money is spent on development.

I can help you turn a rough idea into a clear blueprint: mapping user journeys, wireframing the key screens, and building clickable prototypes you can put in front of stakeholders and real users for early feedback. You walk away with an annotated, developer-ready set of mockups that doubles as a shared contract for what gets built — and a prototype you can use to pitch investors or win internal buy-in.

UI/UX Designs

Good design is invisible — it just feels right. I design clean, accessible interfaces around how people actually use your product, not how we wish they would. Every screen is grounded in established usability principles and real user behaviour, with accessibility treated as a requirement rather than an afterthought, so the experience works for everyone on any device.

I can help you with design systems and component libraries, high-fidelity screens ready for development handoff, and usability reviews of existing products — turning confusing flows into experiences your users enjoy. Because I build software too, the designs you get are practical to implement: consistent tokens, sensible states, and no beautiful-but-impossible screens that fall apart in development.

Web Application Development

End-to-end web applications — from translating requirements into technical specifications to shipping polished, accessible products. Frontend, backend, and everything in between, built with modern frameworks. A decade-plus of experience across the full development lifecycle means fewer surprises: realistic estimates, clear communication, and software that holds up long after launch.

I can help you build a new product from scratch, modernise a legacy codebase, or scale an existing app — with clean architecture, automated testing, and cloud deployment on AWS baked in from day one. Whether you need a customer-facing platform, an internal dashboard, or an API for your partners, you get a maintainable system your next developer will thank you for — not a black box only I can touch.

Mobile Application Development (Cross-platform)

Cross-platform mobile apps that ship to iOS and Android from a single codebase — native-feeling performance and UI without maintaining two teams and two codebases. One shared codebase means faster feature delivery, consistent behaviour across platforms, and roughly half the long-term maintenance cost of building each app separately.

I can help you take your product mobile: choosing the right framework for your team and budget, designing offline-first data flows, integrating push notifications, analytics, and payments, and getting your app through store review and into users' hands. If you already have a web product, I can extend it to mobile so both share one backend and stay in sync.

Desktop Application Development

Desktop software for Windows, macOS, and Linux — from internal tooling that speeds up your team to customer-facing products. Reliable, maintainable applications that integrate cleanly with your existing systems, work with local files and hardware, and keep running even when the network doesn't.

I can help you replace spreadsheet-driven workflows with purpose-built tools, port aging desktop software to a modern stack, or wrap your web app into a distributable desktop experience with auto-updates. From installer to update pipeline to crash reporting, you get the whole delivery story handled — not just an app that runs on my machine.

E-commerce Website Development

Online stores built to sell — product catalogues, carts, payments, and order management done right. Fast, secure, SEO-friendly storefronts that scale with your business. Speed and search visibility aren't cosmetic here: every second of load time and every lost ranking is revenue, so performance is treated as a feature from the first commit.

I can help you launch a new store or migrate an existing one: integrating payment gateways and shipping providers, optimising checkout conversion, and wiring up analytics so you know exactly what's working. I can also automate what happens after the sale — invoicing, inventory updates, and order notifications — so the store runs without you babysitting it.
