Laravel + PostgreSQL Development
PostgreSQL is my database of choice. More powerful than MySQL, with features like JSONB columns, full-text search, and proper data integrity.
PostgreSQL handles complex queries, JSON data, and advanced indexing better than MySQL. Laravel's Eloquent works perfectly with it.
I design schemas that make sense for your data: proper normalization where it matters, pragmatic denormalization where performance needs it. Migrations that can be rolled back safely.
For applications with complex data relationships, reporting requirements, or need for advanced features like partial indexes or array columns, PostgreSQL is the right choice.

No project managers. You talk directly to the person writing the code.
What Clients Say
"Stu gets AI development. He's fast, clever about what to automate, and ships real working tools. Most developers talk about AI - Stu actually builds with it."

"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."

"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."
