Engineering capabilities

Ways I can contribute to a product — from building something new, to extending a platform that exists, to taking over one that needs an owner.

Capabilities

Where I add the most value

Each of these is work I currently do on platforms running in production, not a service list assembled for a brochure.

  1. 01

    Full-stack web applications

    Complete products: interfaces, backend systems, databases, authentication, dashboards, integrations and deployment, owned by one engineer end to end.

    Next.js · React · PHP · Laravel · MySQL

  2. 02

    Backend systems and APIs

    PHP and Laravel services, REST APIs, business logic, database architecture, server-side validation and secure workflows.

    PHP · Laravel · REST APIs · Authentication

  3. 03

    Business management platforms

    Internal systems for membership, customers, payments, content, users, products, orders and reporting — built around how the organisation actually works.

    PHP · MySQL · Role-based access · Dashboards

  4. 04

    Learning management systems

    Course platforms with classes, lessons, materials, progression, authentication and administration modelled as related data rather than uploaded files.

    PHP · MySQL · PHPMailer

  5. 05

    Payment and communication integrations

    Payments, SMS and transactional email wired into real workflows, including verification, notification and webhook handling.

    Snippe Payments · Mambo SMS · PHPMailer · SMTP

  6. 06

    Cloud deployment and maintenance

    Production hosting, server configuration, Git-based deployment, SSH, environment configuration, backups and the ongoing maintenance after launch.

    Hostinger · DigitalOcean · Linux · SSH · Git

  7. 07

    Technical SEO

    Metadata, sitemaps, robots directives, indexing, structured content, performance and mobile optimisation, monitored through Search Console.

    Search Console · Sitemaps · Metadata · Core Web Vitals

  8. 08

    Corporate and portfolio platforms

    Professional websites with clear content structure, backend content functionality, inquiry workflows and search visibility.

Starting a conversation

The most useful first message describes the operational problem, who the users are, what currently exists, and the timeline you are working against. Everything else follows from that.

Next step

Have a system to build, extend, or take over?

I take on full-stack product work, backend and API development, and long-term ownership of platforms already running in production.
