Software development
Web applications, APIs, integrations and databases, mainly in PHP/Laravel and TypeScript. New builds, or taking over and improving what you already have.
More about thisSoftware, servers and security, from one engineer.
I work freelance with teams that need something built, kept running or made safer. Often all three, which is easier when one person can see the whole picture.
What I do
Server management & cloud
Linux servers and AWS environments: setup, patching, monitoring, automated deployments and keeping the cloud bill under control.
More about thisCyber security
Secure code reviews, application and API security, server hardening and encryption. You get clear findings, priorities and help with the fixes.
More about thisAI & apps, where they help
Automation and reporting added to existing software, and mobile apps. Only when it is the right tool for the job.

How a project goes
Talk
We work out what is actually slow, risky or broken, and what would be worth fixing first.
Assess
I look at the code and servers, and you get written findings with clear priorities.
Build
New work or fixes, with tests, monitoring and a way to roll back.
Hand over
Documentation and a walk-through, so your team can own it without me.
