How I Work With Agencies
Embedded Developer
Join your team. Ship your backlog. No drama.
Need an extra senior dev who doesn't need hand-holding? I slot into your agency team, use your tools, follow your process.
White Label Development
I build it. You brand it. Your client never knows.
Handle overflow work without hiring. I build for your clients under your agency's name.
Overflow Capacity
Too much work? I'll handle the excess.
Your team is maxed out. You don't want to hire. I can take the overflow projects you'd otherwise turn down.
What Agency Partners Say
"We've worked with Stu for nearly ten years. When we sell a build we can't handle in-house, he's the call. Joins our Slack, matches our standards, delivers under our name. Clients never know. That's not something you get from a random contractor."
"Stu's been embedded with our team for over a year. Daily standups, same Linear board, same Slack. When we needed a maintenance tracking module built - tenant requests, status workflows, admin dashboards - he scoped it and shipped it in six weeks. Our clients think he's internal."
"Stu delivers. Quick turnaround, high quality, no fuss. He embeds into the team properly - standups, Teams, the lot - and he's been ahead of the curve on AI tooling, both in the apps we build and in how he works. Reliable, fast, and genuinely good to work with."
