Services

What I Build

Full stack engineering services — PHP and Laravel backends, Vue and React front ends, custom WordPress builds, LAMP deployment and maintenance, and landing pages built around the form.

Five offers, one engineer. They are separated here because they are separate searches with separate intent — a team that needs a Laravel API and a business that needs its WordPress theme rebuilt are not asking the same question. Most engagements end up drawing on more than one of them, which is the argument for hiring someone who covers the whole stack rather than assembling three specialists and owning the seams between them yourself.

PHP & Laravel Development

Server-side PHP and Laravel development: REST APIs, MySQL schema design, and third-party integrations planned into the architecture rather than bolted on late.

• PHP / Laravel
• REST APIs
• MySQL schema design
• Third-party integrations

Vue & React Front End Development

Front end development in Vue, React and TypeScript — components that compose cleanly, data tables that hold up under production volumes, and GSAP motion work that earns its frame budget.

• Vue
• React / TypeScript
• GSAP / ScrollTrigger
• Responsive UI

Custom WordPress Development

Custom WordPress themes built from scratch, with Advanced Custom Fields behind every editable region so a marketing team can run the site without touching template code.

• Custom themes
• ACF
• WooCommerce
• Custom plugins

Deployment & Ongoing Maintenance

The work after launch: LAMP environments provisioned on DigitalOcean, slow queries profiled and tuned, and applications maintained through patches and new features.

• LAMP / DigitalOcean
• Query tuning
• Speed & SEO
• Code review

Landing Page & Lead Capture Development

Landing pages built around the form rather than the hero — server-side validation, a direct handoff into your CRM, and split testing once the traffic makes the answer mean something.

• Landing pages
• Lead capture forms
• CRM handoff
• A/B variants

How an engagement runs

Scoping — before anything is quoted

The first conversation is about what the thing has to do, not which framework it gets built in. What already exists, what has to keep working while it changes, who edits the content after launch, and what going wrong actually costs. That produces a written scope with the parts I am unsure about named as unsure, because a number that hides its assumptions is not an estimate, it is a guess with a decimal point.

Building — in your repository, not mine

Work lands in reviewable branches against your staging environment rather than arriving as one drop at the end. The schema is settled before an interface gets built on top of it, since a data model corrected in week one costs an afternoon and the same correction in week six costs the interface as well. You see it move, and you can change direction while changing direction is still cheap.

Handing over — a deploy you can run without me

Environment documented, migrations repeatable, and every editable region wired to an admin a non-developer can work in. Where a project continues on maintenance the same access holds, but that is a choice you make afterwards rather than a dependency the build quietly created. Nothing here is written to be hostage to the person who wrote it.

Ways to work together

• Fixed-scope project — A defined build with a written scope and a fixed price. Best when the thing to be made is already clear enough to describe in a page.
• Monthly retainer — A recurring block of hours for maintenance, new features and the occasional emergency. Best for a live application that keeps growing after launch.
• Hourly — For work that cannot be scoped honestly up front — an audit, a performance investigation, or a codebase nobody has documented.

Who this tends to suit

• Teams with no backend engineer who need one for a defined stretch of work
• Agencies needing a build partner who will talk to the client directly when it saves a round trip
• Businesses that have inherited a codebase nobody maintained and need it stable before it grows
• Founders with a validated idea and a specification sitting between them and a first version
