Mobile apps need reliable backends. Laravel provides the API infrastructure, authentication, and real-time features mobile apps require.

I build APIs designed for mobile: efficient payloads, proper caching headers, push notification integration. Sanctum handles authentication securely.

Whether you're building the mobile app yourself or working with a mobile developer, I provide the backend that makes the app work.

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."

"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."

Ravi P.
Product Owner,

"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."
