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

"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."

"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."

Product Owner,

"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."
