Available for new projects and ongoing partnerships

Need something built, fixed or figured out?

I build custom software for businesses and technical teams. Bring me a problem that needs solving, an idea you want to build, or an existing system that needs serious work — from PHP/Laravel applications to ecommerce, integrations and automation.

Building on the web since 1997.

Build it Custom software, internal tools and SaaS
Fix or extend it Existing PHP/Laravel applications
Connect it APIs, data flows and automation
Figure it out for you From business problem to sensible first step

Not sure what you need?

You don't need a technical specification.

Tell me what's taking too much time, what's not working, or what you'd like your business to be able to do.

I will help work out where software can make the biggest difference, define a sensible first step and then build it. We can start small without losing sight of where the idea could go.

What brings you here?

What do you need help with?

01

I need something built.

You have an idea for a new product, an internal tool you need, or a problem in the business that software could solve. We can work out the right first version together.

02

My existing software needs work.

A PHP/Laravel application needs features, upgrades, integrations, performance work or an experienced developer to take ownership. Your current team may simply not have time for it.

Existing PHP/Laravel systems

03

I need systems connected or work automated.

Need two systems to talk to each other, data moved automatically, or repetitive work taken off someone's plate? I build API integrations and automation around the systems you already use.

Integrations and automation

04

I have an ecommerce project.

Magento, Shopware, migrations, supplier feeds, custom functionality and the systems behind established ecommerce stores.

Work with me directly

Hi, I’m Carsten.

I’m a Dutch developer based in Malaysia, working with clients across Europe and APAC. I’ve been building for the web since 1997.

I like understanding the business behind a project, not just the technical requirements. That means I can help work out what actually needs building, then take responsibility for building it. Some projects last a few days. Others turn into years.

What are you trying to make possible?

Tell me what is taking too much time, what is not working, or where you want the business to go. I will help turn it into a sensible technical first step.

Already have a codebase or defined project? Send me that instead.
