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.

Client Satisfaction

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.

Why Work With Me

Deep Stack Expertise

Years of production experience with Laravel and PostgreSQL. Not just theory.

Weekly Progress

Working demos every week. See progress as we build, not after 3 months.

Production-Ready Code

Tests, documentation, deploy scripts. Maintainable code, not technical debt.

Direct Communication

No project managers. You talk directly to the person writing the code.

What Clients Say

"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."

Rob Sherali

Technical Delivery, Sepura

"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."

Adele

Founder, TidyLinker

"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."
