When off-the-shelf software forces your team into workarounds, a custom web application eliminates the gap between how your business actually operates and how your tools expect it to operate.
I design and build custom web applications end-to-end — from initial architecture through deployed, production-ready product. Every application I deliver is built for real workloads, documented for your team, and engineered to run independently after handoff.
Enterprise Portals & Internal Tools
Custom dashboards, admin panels, and operations management systems. Role-based access, audit trails, and workflow automation.

Technology Stack
I choose technology based on your project requirements — not based on what's trending. That said, my core stack delivers the best balance of development speed, performance, and long-term maintainability for most custom web applications:
Frontend
React, Next.js (App Router), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
Server-side rendering for SEO, type safety that prevents bugs at scale, and a component architecture that makes your codebase maintainable by any React developer after handoff.
Backend
Laravel (PHP), Node.js, Python
Laravel handles complex business logic, authentication, and database operations faster than any framework I've worked with in 17 years. Node.js for real-time features. Python for AI/ML integrations.
Database
PostgreSQL, Supabase, MongoDB, Redis
PostgreSQL handles 95% of use cases with superior data integrity. Supabase when you need real-time subscriptions. Redis for caching and session management.
Infrastructure
Vercel, Railway, Docker, AWS
Vercel for Next.js applications (zero-config deployments, edge functions). Railway for backend services. Docker when you need full infrastructure control.
Discovery & Architecture
I start every project by understanding what problem your application needs to solve — not what features you think it needs. This distinction matters because feature lists lead to bloated software; problem definitions lead to applications that people actually use.
Technical specification document, database schema design, API architecture diagram, and a realistic timeline with milestones.Design & Prototyping
UI/UX design that prioritizes clarity over decoration. Every interface element exists because it helps users complete a task — nothing decorative, nothing confusing. I design in Figma with a component-based system that translates directly to code.
Interactive Figma prototype, design system with tokens and components, responsive layouts for desktop and mobile.Development
Full-stack implementation with continuous deployment. You see progress in real-time through staging environments — not screenshots in email threads. Weekly progress demos, direct communication, no project managers in between.
Working application with automated tests, CI/CD pipeline, staging environment with your data.Testing & Launch
Comprehensive QA, performance optimization, security audit, and production deployment. I don't consider a project done until it's running under real conditions with real users.
Production deployment, monitoring setup, documentation, and a handoff session with your team.Core functionality, 1-2 user roles, essential integrations. Ideal for validating a business idea before full investment.
4-6 weeksFull feature set, multiple user roles, third-party integrations, admin dashboard.
8-14 weeksMultiple interconnected modules, complex business logic, high-availability requirements, advanced analytics.
3-6 months| Solo Senior Developer | Mid-Size Agency | |
|---|---|---|
| Daily rate | €400-600 | €800-1,500 |
| Communication | Direct with engineer | Through PM layer |
| Consistency | One codebase style | Multiple developers, varying quality |
| Overhead | None | Office, sales, management (30-40% of cost) |
| Typical MVP cost | €8,000-15,000 | €20,000-40,000 |
| Typical enterprise project | €40,000-80,000 | €100,000-200,000+ |
Why Work With a Solo Senior Developer
Direct communication. You talk to the person who writes the code. No telephone game through project managers and team leads. Questions get answered in hours, not days.
Consistent quality. One architect, one codebase style, one quality standard. No handoffs between junior developers who interpret requirements differently.
Real accountability. When one person is responsible for every layer — design, frontend, backend, database, deployment — nothing falls through the cracks between teams.
Cost efficiency. My daily rate reflects 17 years of experience, not the overhead of an office, sales team, and management layer. You pay for engineering, not bureaucracy.
These ranges assume a solo senior developer (me). Agencies charge 2-3x more because you're paying for account managers, junior developers, and office overhead. Read more about web application development costs →
