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

"Stu and I built an AI-powered documentation review tool together - it handled PR reviews, added frontmatter, found and linked related docs automatically. We went from idea to working product incredibly quickly. He's fast, he gets AI, and he's genuinely fun to collaborate with."

"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."

"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."
