Independent software engineering consultancy. I help teams ship reliable products — from early architecture to production hardening.
Expertise
End-to-end engineering across the full stack — from greenfield architecture to untangling legacy systems under pressure.
Fast, accessible, production-ready web applications built to last. Performance-first from day one.
Resilient, well-documented APIs and services designed for scale. Clean boundaries, sensible contracts.
Infrastructure that scales when it needs to and costs nothing when it doesn't. IaC, CI/CD, observability.
Architecture reviews, technology choices, team structure. Cut through the noise and move with confidence.
About
I'm Robert — an independent software engineer based in the UK. I work with startups and scale-ups that need senior-level engineering ownership without the overhead of a full agency.
I care about code that future developers can understand, systems that fail gracefully, and software that actually solves the problem at hand.

How it works
A clear, lightweight process so you always know what's happening and why — no black boxes.
We talk through your goals, constraints, and timeline. No pitch — just a straight conversation about the problem.
I turn the brief into a clear scope document with deliverables, timeline, and a fixed or time-and-materials price.
Short cycles with real working software at every checkpoint. You see progress weekly — not just at the end.
Clean documentation, knowledge transfer, and optional ongoing retainer so nothing falls through the cracks post-launch.
