What Clients Say

"We needed a booking platform with a full API and mobile app. Agencies quoted six figures. Stu built the prototype, we got users on it, validated the concept. Now we're doing a full rebuild and it's still a fraction of agency prices. He actually ships."

Co-founder, Rezzy

"My previous developer wasn't delivering. Stu took over, didn't waste time on the mess - just rebuilt what mattered. Within a few months I had payments working and a real path to launch. No drama, just progress."

Founder, TidyLinker

"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."
