Laravel WebSockets & Real-time
Build applications that update in real-time. Live notifications, collaborative editing, chat systems, live dashboards.
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 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."
"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."
"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."
