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.

A clean, modern technical illustration: a single glowing multi-core CPU at the centre, with translucent layered streams of light representing virtual machine and container threads flowing into and out of the cores like lanes of traffic merging through a junction. Cool blues and teals on a dark background, subtle circuit-board texture, a sense of orderly flow and scheduling rather than chaos. Minimalist, editorial tech-blog aesthetic, no text, 16:9.

How a Hypervisor Actually Shares CPU and I/O: A Practical Guide for KVM, LXC and Proxmox

vCPUs are just threads, cgroups don't replace the scheduler, and on NVMe the right I/O scheduler is usually 'none'. A ground-up tour of how Linux shares physical resources between virtual machines and containers — and which knobs are actually worth turning for small-to-medium workloads.
