How I Help

Security-first architecture

Comprehensive audit logging

GDPR-compliant data handling

FinTech applications can't afford mistakes. Bad code means lost money, regulatory problems, or both.

I've built payment processing systems, invoicing platforms, and financial dashboards. Security isn't an afterthought - it's baked in from the start.

Audit trails, encryption, access controls, compliance considerations - all the boring stuff that keeps you out of trouble.

What Clients Say

"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 hired me and gave me a baptism of fire within AWS and infrastructure. Years later, I'm leading a DevOps team of eight. He's technically brilliant, but what I appreciated most was how he explained things - never made me feel stupid, always made time. We still help each other out regularly."
