What I do

Shopify Development

Online stores built to sell - not just look good. From a first store launch to migrating off a platform that's costing you sales.

WooCommerce Development

E-commerce you actually own. Bespoke themes built from scratch - no page builders, no bloat, no compromise on speed. Faster stores rank higher and convert more.

Laravel Development

When off-the-shelf platforms can't do what your business needs, I build exactly that. Custom web applications, dashboards, and CMS-driven websites - shaped around your workflows, not the other way around.

Why Freelance

Why work with a freelance developer?

When you work with me, you work with me. Not an account manager relaying messages. Not a junior developer you've never spoken to. Not someone different every time you chase an update.

I handle your project from the first conversation through to launch day and beyond. One person who knows your business, your codebase, and your goals u2014 accountable for every decision, every line of code, and every deadline.

No handoffs. No miscommunication. Nothing gets lost between departments that don't talk to each other.

Common questions

How long does a typical project take?
Most projects take between 4 and 12 weeks depending on scope. I'll give you a realistic timeline before any work starts - no vague promises. The biggest factor in hitting that timeline? How quickly you can provide content, product information, and feedback. I keep things moving on my end and I'll be upfront about what I need from you to stay on track.
Do you handle design?
Yes. I work with a trusted local designer I've partnered with for years. You deal with me - I manage the design process, present concepts, gather your feedback, and coordinate revisions. One point of contact for the whole project, design included.
What happens after launch?
I don't disappear once your site goes live. I offer ongoing support for updates, fixes, and improvements - and I can manage your hosting so that's one less thing on your plate. Most of my clients stay in touch long after launch, because they know I already understand their setup inside out.
How do we communicate during a project?
Email. Everything in one place - decisions, feedback, files. Nothing buried in a WhatsApp thread or lost in a text message. I respond to every email by the end of the next working day so you're never left wondering where things stand.
