Freelance Software Development Services
I excel at building the components that work behind the scenes: the infrastructure that makes your solution tick. That API feeding the front end, pulling from multiple data sources, parsing and analysing the results, then pushing them to a mobile app. The encryption layer that protects your manufacturing IP across locations. The WebAssembly module that keeps your proprietary formula for calculating future investment yields well out of reach.
More precisely, I specialise in API and database development, using technologies such as Zig, JavaScript, Go (Golang) and PostgreSQL, amongst others. You'll seldom find me reaching for popular frameworks like React and friends, since what I build is highly bespoke and often requires tailor-made solutions.
With 25+ years in the industry, I bring a breadth of experience that goes well beyond writing code:
- Brainstorming and shaping possible solutions
- Assessing feasibility and long-term sustainability
- Maintaining and improving existing software
- Training and mentoring your in-house development team
- Liaising with other service providers to build your solution
As a small business owner myself, I understand the reality of budget constraints. To address this, I endeavour to take on as many roles as a project needs, keeping the team small and maximising value within the budget. If there's something outside my expertise, I'll be upfront with you, and we can then bring someone in for a fixed-scope piece of work to get over the hurdle and keep things moving.
Rather than billing you for a larger team than you need, I handle multiple disciplines across the project. These typically include:
- Designing the database (DBA)
- Handling server architecture and deployment (DevOps)
- Responsible for security (SecOps)
- Building the User Interface (Frontend Developer)
- Constructing APIs (Backend Developer)
- Implementing test automation (QA)
- Interpreting client requirements (Analyst)
- Consolidating multiple data sources (Data Engineer)
- Visualisation of data trends and analysis (Data Scientist)
