Software built for you.
Infrastructure you own.

I build custom web and mobile applications for schools, clinics, and manufacturers — deployed on private infrastructure my clients fully control. No AWS. No Azure. No vendor lock-in.

16+ years of custom development and private infrastructure across the EU

What I Build

Custom web and mobile applications for organisations that need software built around their exact workflow — not the other way around.

Every project I deliver runs on private infrastructure my clients fully own. No AWS. No Azure. No Google Cloud. No vendor dependency, no surprise costs, no question about where your data lives.

Who I Work With

Schools and universities managing student data that must stay within the EU
Clinics and hospitals with strict obligations around patient records
Small manufacturers running operational systems where downtime has a direct cost

How It Works

You get software built exactly for your workflow. You get infrastructure you fully control. And you get one person responsible for the whole thing — from the application code down to the server it runs on.

No handoffs. No vendor lock-in. No hidden dependencies.

Scribes, Looms, and Compilers: We've Been Here Before

History shows us that automation doesn't eliminate jobs—it collapses costs, explodes demand, and forces skilled workers to evolve. Scribes didn't disappear after the printing press; they became editors and publishers.
