Software development for founders who need it running, not just written.

Django is what Instagram, Pinterest, and Spotify are built with. It's a mature, battle-tested framework that comes with user authentication, an admin dashboard, and security protections built in — so you're not paying me to reinvent things that already work.

For you, that means a faster build, fewer security risks, and a system that can grow with your business. You fully own the code, it runs on standard hosting, and any competent Python developer can pick it up if we stop working together. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary platform you're stuck with.

Anything that needs users, data, or business logic behind it. That includes booking and scheduling systems, customer portals, payment integrations, internal admin tools, compliance platforms, and membership sites. If your project needs a database, authentication, or an API, it's likely a good fit.

For simpler needs — a marketing site, a landing page, a blog — I'll use WordPress where it's the right fit, or clean HTML and CSS when it isn't. No unnecessary frameworks, no bloat. Everything works on mobile, loads fast, and is built with security in mind from the start.

Yes, daily — it helps me work faster and catch things I might miss. But I treat it as an assistant, not a replacement for knowing what the code does and why.

The reason this matters to you: a lot of systems are being built right now with no-code and AI tools by people who can't debug them when something goes wrong. That's fine for a prototype, but if real users, real payments, or real data are involved, you need someone who understands what's underneath. I use AI where it genuinely helps, and I always stand behind the code it produces.

That's a large part of what I do. Whether it's an MVP that was never finished, a deployment that keeps failing, or a codebase that the previous developer left in a state, I'm comfortable picking up other people's work and getting it to a place where it actually runs and can be maintained.

The first step is always an honest assessment — sometimes it's fixable, sometimes it's faster to rebuild parts of it, and I'll tell you which.

You're not left on your own. I make sure you understand how to operate what I've built — what to monitor, how updates work, and where to find things. If you want ongoing support, I'm available for that. If you'd rather bring someone else in, the code is clean, documented, and built on standard tools that any experienced developer can work with.

The goal is software you're confident running six months later, not something you're afraid to touch.

It depends on the scope. A small fix or deployment might be a few hours of work. A full build or rescue project could be several weeks. I'll always give you a clear idea of cost before any work starts, and I won't let a bill grow without talking to you first.

If the budget doesn't stretch to everything at once, I'll be upfront about that — and I'll help you work out which steps to take first so you're making real progress with what you have. Not every project needs to be done all at once to move forward.

The best way to get a realistic answer is to describe your project and I'll come back with an honest estimate.
