Software built for you.
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.
