Selectively available for new projects

For founders running a small SaaS

The technical partner who builds the platform you don't have time to build.

The technical co-founder you wish you had - without the equity conversation. Five years doing this for a Belgian founder. Now selectively available.

The pain

What this usually looks like.

  • You're a founder running a small SaaS. The platform works. The platform is also slowly drowning you.
  • You hired a freelancer for the first version. They shipped. They left. You inherited a codebase.
  • New features take three times longer than they should. Bug fixes break two other things.
  • You can't afford a senior in-house engineer. You can't afford another freelancer marketplace gamble either.
  • You need someone who treats this like their own business - not someone billing hours.

What I'd build for you

Concrete deliverables.

  • Audit your current platform - architecture, code quality, queue behavior, security, scaling pain points.
  • Refactor in place. Stabilize the parts that are critical. Document the parts that aren't.
  • Build the next set of features your roadmap actually needs - properly, with tests, with monitoring.
  • Operational layer underneath: queues, monitoring, alerting, deployment pipeline that doesn't require you to be online.
  • Ongoing operator relationship - small, focused engagement, async, with code access from day one.

Why I'm credible here

Specific track record in this niche.

Five years as outsourced CTO of a Belgian real-estate SaaS - architected the platform, built the team patterns, maintained the operations. Not a vendor relationship. Operational continuity. The kind of engagement most founders only realize they need after they've hired and lost three people.

Stack

What we'd actually use.

  • Laravel
  • Laravel Horizon / queues
  • PostgreSQL / MySQL
  • Inertia / Livewire / API-first
  • Sentry / OpenTelemetry
  • Deployment automation (Forge / custom)
  • AI inside specific workflows, where it earns its place
