The Laravel hero
your product needs.
No agency mark-up, no recruitment, no six-month contracts. Reserve a set number of hours each month — spread flexibly across the week as your work needs them — and a senior Laravel engineer rides in to keep your product shipping.
Trusted across a 25-year career — selected clients & employers
One engineer, the whole Laravel stack.

Predictable, drama-free delivery.
A retainer should feel calm. You get a fixed weekly cadence, a single point of contact, and work that ships continuously rather than landing in a big risky drop.
Reserve your hours. £60/hour, billed monthly.
Reserve a monthly pool of hours, used flexibly throughout the week — not a single fixed block. No setup fee, cancel with 30 days' notice, roll up to 4 unused hours into next month.

Hi, I'm Simon — based on the South Coast.
I've been building for the web since 2001, and on Laravel since its earliest releases. Over 25 years I've shipped internal tools, customer platforms and APIs for household names across pharma, automotive, travel and entertainment. These days I work with a small number of founders and teams who want senior hands-on engineering without the overhead of hiring.
Clear English, UK working hours, and code you'll actually want to maintain.
Tell me what you're building. If I'm not the right fit, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
