Laravel Reverb provides WebSocket infrastructure without external services. Real-time broadcasting, presence channels, private messaging.

I build real-time features that work reliably: proper authentication, reconnection handling, fallbacks when WebSockets aren't available.

From simple notification systems to complex collaborative tools, real-time features make applications feel modern and responsive.

Why Work With Me

Deep Stack Expertise

Years of production experience with Laravel and Reverb. 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

"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

"Brought Stu in to review our AI tooling stack. He did a proper deep dive, gave us a clear plan, and containerised everything so devs could run it locally. Exactly the kind of practical, no-bullshit assessment we needed."

Dev Lead, Patch

"Stu hired me and gave me a baptism of fire within AWS and infrastructure. Years later, I'm leading a DevOps team of eight. He's technically brilliant, but what I appreciated most was how he explained things - never made me feel stupid, always made time. We still help each other out regularly."
