Custom software
built around how your business works
Off-the-shelf software rarely fits exactly. I build web apps, client portals, booking systems, dashboards and internal tools that replace spreadsheets and manual work — scoped up front, delivered in milestones, and owned by you.
What I build.
Practical software that saves hours every week.
Booking systems
Online bookings, scheduling and reminders tailored to your services.
Dashboards & reporting
Live views of sales, operations and KPIs instead of weekly spreadsheet exports.
Workflow automation
Forms, approvals and notifications that replace copy-pasting between systems.
Integrations
Connect payments, email, Google Workspace, accounting and WhatsApp through APIs.
Secure & owned by you
Proper logins and roles, secure hosting, and full ownership of the code.
Software packages.
Phased delivery, fixed quotes.

What happens after launch?
You get a handover and can choose a monthly care plan or prepaid support hours for updates, fixes and new features.
