Method

How I work.

  1. 01

    Start from the business

    Employee time tracking, ticket sales, inventory, rentals: every project starts from the real process it has to serve, before any choice of tools.

  2. 02

    One system, several screens

    A mobile app in the field, a dashboard on the web, an API at the centre: the same data serves every screen.

  3. 03

    Ship, not just build

    Docker, reverse proxy, backup and restore, service monitoring: software is finished when it runs, and stays operable, for the people who use it.

  4. 04

    Make the architecture readable

    Every project in this portfolio comes with its diagram — components, exchanges, stack — so that a client and a developer alike can see what was built.
