Useful from the first week
Joining existing codebases is most of what I have done for years, so I get productive quickly and start shipping early.
An experienced developer, without the hiring
I join existing Laravel, PHP and Vue projects to ship features, fix what is slowing you down and add capacity through busy periods.
For agencies, I deliver client projects under your name while you keep the client relationship.
Drop-in support for in-house teams
When the roadmap is bigger than the team, I can pick up work straight away. I work in your repository, your tickets and your review process, so the work fits how your team already runs.
Features shipped inside an existing codebase
Bugs, upgrades and clean-up where progress has slowed
Cover during busy periods, leave or a handover
Ongoing part-time capacity for Laravel, PHP or Vue projects
White-label delivery for agencies
When a client needs more than a website, I can build it for you: a custom web application, a customer portal or an integration between their systems.
You keep the client relationship and the branding. I can work behind the scenes or join client calls as part of your team, and I am happy to sign an NDA. The same staged builds and support plans I offer direct clients are available to agencies at trade rates.
How I work with your team
Clear about progress
You hear about progress, trade-offs and blockers as they happen, not at the end of the sprint.
Code your team can maintain
I follow your conventions, write tests where they matter and leave the code easier to work with than I found it.
Work done inside client teams
Most of my client work has been as part of someone else's team. A few examples of what that looks like.
8 years
In production
Laying the foundations of a learning platform still in use eight years on
I was part of the small team that built the first version of a multi-tenant learning management system. The backend structure I helped put in place is still there eight years later, and I still support it.

Common questions
01
Which technologies do you work with?
Mainly Laravel, PHP and Vue, along with the databases, queues, hosting and APIs that come with them. I also work on Shopify apps, including checkout delivery apps.
02
How is the work charged?
Drop-in support is charged at a day rate, agreed before work starts, with no minimum booking. Agency projects follow the same process as my direct work: a paid discovery, then a fixed price for each stage of the build.
03
Will your name appear on the work?
Only if you want it to. For white-label work your client sees your agency, and I will not list the project or the client publicly without permission.
04
How soon can you start?
It depends on what I already have booked. Get in touch with an outline and rough dates and I will tell you within one working day when I can start.
Need an extra pair of hands?
Tell me about the project, the codebase and when you need help. I reply within one working day.
