Services

Web & Software

Whether a simple website for a trade business or a full SaaS platform. I build high-performance, responsive web applications at a professional level. I built my own SaaS product and successfully sold it. I know what it takes.

Services

What I build

Websites & landing pages

For businesses & freelancers

Fast, responsive websites that get found on Google and turn visitors into customers. No page builder, no template. A site that truly fits you.

Web apps & SaaS

From idea to product

I built PingPing from zero to 40,000 monitored websites and sold it successfully. I know the whole journey: MVP, scaling, infrastructure, payment, exit. You don't get a contractor, you get someone who thinks alongside you.

APIs & technical consulting

Architecture & decisions

Which tech stack? Monolith or microservices? Own hosting or cloud? I advise honestly without vendor lock-in and without hourly subscription traps. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best.

Hosting & domain

Hassle-free

If you want, I handle everything around it. Register the domain, set up hosting, SSL certificate, email addresses. You don't have to worry about anything and have one contact for everything.

How we work together

No endless briefing documents, no back-and-forth for weeks. I work directly, iteratively and transparently. You always know where the project stands.

Get in touch
No form marathon. We talk briefly: what do you need, what do you already have, what's the goal? I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit and what it realistically costs.
Before I write a single line of code, we plan together: which pages? Which features? Which tech stack? Which hosting? Here I make sure we're building the right solution for your problem.
You regularly see the current status on a staging environment. No surprises at the end. Changes are not a problem. I work iteratively.
I handle going live, set up DNS, SSL and hosting, and walk you through it. You get all credentials, passwords and a brief documentation.
I don't disappear. If something needs fixing or an extension is due, I'm reachable. No hourly subscription needed, no maintenance contract that locks you in.
Who it's for

Who is this for?

Tradespeople & local businesses

You don't have a website yet or yours is 10 years old. You need a modern presence that looks good on mobile and gets found on Google. No frills, but professional.

First website Google Mobile-optimised

Founders & startups

You have a software idea and need someone to build it. I help with the MVP, give technical feedback and think alongside you as a co-founder. I know the road from start to exit.

MVP SaaS Technical co-founder

Companies with existing systems

Your existing software is stuck, outdated or needs expanding. I look at what's there, assess it honestly and make a concrete plan instead of non-committal slides.

Why me

Not a contractor.
A thinking partner.

I have built, scaled and sold my own products. PingPing had customers in over 40 countries. I am CTO at an international SaaS company. I know both sides.

You don't get a developer who simply implements what you say. You get someone who thinks critically, asks questions, and tells you when an idea doesn't make sense. That is usually more valuable than fast coding.

Got an idea?

Let's make it happen.

Whether first website or complex software: I'll tell you honestly what makes sense and what doesn't. Just drop me a line.
