Industry Challenges

Strict security requirements

Payment processing complexity

Audit trail requirements

Data protection obligations

How I Help

Security-first architecture

Comprehensive audit logging

Stripe/payment gateway integration

Encryption at rest and in transit

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 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."

Ravi P.
Ravi P.
Product Owner,

"One of the things most organisations struggle with is finding that 'bridge' type of resource — someone who can speak product, understand the business, and shape the technical flow for today while keeping an eye firmly on tomorrow. Stu, on multiple occasions where I've hired him over the last 15 years, has been that guy. His consultative skills — listening, challenging back, and shaping technical solutions around what he hears — are second to none. His time management and expectation-setting are spot on too. He'll tell you where the risks are in the new and the unknown, so you're never left biting your nails in the dark. He lives and breathes tech, early-adopts just for the hell of it, but never oversells anything until it's genuinely safe and ready to use."

"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."
