Services

Custom software for the problems your company actually has.

Most off-the-shelf tools ask a company to change how it works. I do the opposite: I learn the process, then build the smallest system that makes it run without friction — and I keep the numbers honest, before and after.

01

Custom web applications & business systems

Software built around a business process: the interfaces people use, the backend logic, the database, the APIs other systems call, and the reporting on top. That covers internal tools your team runs the day on, and customer-facing applications your clients sign into.

Django ASP.NET Core PostgreSQL React

Evidence

Browser-based label editor adopted by over 70% of brands → ScheduleStation: four surfaces from one codebase → Tri-Phase Inventory → Healthcare platform for b:Rare Health →

02

Django development & ongoing application support

For Python/Django applications that already exist. I take over or join the codebase, add features, investigate bugs, keep Django and its dependencies current, and improve maintainability, including the test coverage that makes changes safe to ship.

Django Django REST Framework Celery PostgreSQL

Evidence

Four years developing and maintaining Django applications → 95% unit-test coverage on the label generator →

03

Application & database performance optimization

When pages hang, exports time out, or the hosting bill climbs faster than usage. I instrument the system, find the bottleneck, whether it's in an API, a database query, an export or a document render, implement the fix, and measure the result against the baseline.

New Relic Query tuning Caching

Evidence

1,840 ms → 139 ms median on the heaviest API → A 30-second timeout brought down to 454 ms → 55% → 7.6% of web dyno load →

04

API integrations & workflow automation

Connecting the services your business already uses, and automating how information moves between them: retrieving data from external APIs, transforming it, delivering it where it's needed, and monitoring the whole path so failures are visible.

REST APIs MQTT Pub/Sub BigQuery

Evidence

13 LIMS integrations feeding lab results onto labels → JotForm and Nimble CRM integration on a HIPAA-compliant platform → MQTT, Pub/Sub and BigQuery telemetry from a browser extension →

05

Document, label & barcode systems

Tools for designing templates, generating documents at volume with live data pulled in at render time, and exporting to whatever your printers and partners require: PDF, SVG and PNG, BarTender and NiceLabel workflows, and barcodes and QR codes in multiple standards.

PDF / SVG / PNG BarTender NiceLabel Barcodes & QR

Evidence

10× faster label generation, 43% smaller PDFs → 65–73 labels per second → PDF, SVG, PNG, BarTender and NiceLabel exports →

06

Business websites & WooCommerce

Business sites and WooCommerce stores: built, customised, connected to the tools you already run, and made to load quickly. Including the unglamorous part: keeping them updated and keeping their search rankings.

WordPress WooCommerce Core Web Vitals

Built, deployed and maintained from scratch for a renovation contractor and an auto collision centre. Currently speeding up, and improving the search ranking of, a counselling practice's WordPress site.

Evidence

−0.8 s load time and 35% fewer requests on Nama-Fiji → samirenovation.com ↗ 305auto.ca ↗

How it goes

A conversation

Half an hour on what's slow, manual, or breaking. Often the answer is a small fix rather than a project — I'll say so.

A written scope

What gets built, what it costs, and when it lands — in plain language, before any code.

Build in the open

Something usable early, then weekly increments you can click through. No six-week silence.

Handover that holds

Monitoring, backups, and documentation, so the system survives without me — and I'm still around if you want me.

Not sure it needs custom software?

Describe the problem. If an existing tool solves it better, I'll point you at it.
