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.

Deep Stack Expertise
Years of production experience with Laravel and PostgreSQL. Not just theory.
Weekly Progress

Direct Communication
No project managers. You talk directly to the person writing the code.
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."
"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."
"I've worked with Stu for close to ten years now. What started as me mentoring him quickly became a genuine collaboration - he's grown into someone I trust completely with Laravel architecture and AWS infrastructure. When I need something done properly, he's still my first call. That says everything."
