From greenfield custom applications to legacy system rescue — I build, modernise, and maintain software that SMBs rely on. No bloated agencies, no junior developers, no guesswork.
Custom business apps built from scratch, with an ongoing retainer for growth
Take ownership of existing systems so your team doesn't have to worry
Rewrite aging codebases into maintainable, modern web applications
Weave practical AI capabilities into your existing workflows and software
If any of these sound like your business, you're in the right place.
"We have an old system nobody really understands anymore — and we're scared to touch it."
"We're running the business on spreadsheets and it's starting to fall apart."
"We need to connect our software to third-party systems, APIs, or supplier data feeds."
"Our software hasn't been updated in years — we don't know what's even in there."
"We want to use AI but have no idea how to add it to our actual workflows."
"We need a custom portal or dashboard — something off-the-shelf won't cut it."
"We just need someone reliable to own our software — so we can focus on the business."
"We inherited a Web Forms or desktop application that desperately needs modernising."
Whether you need something built from scratch, or want someone to take the reins on what you already have — there's a service that fits.
You have an idea, a spreadsheet-based process, or a gap in the market — and you need custom software that does exactly what your business requires, not a generic SaaS tool you have to bend to fit.
Your business runs on a system that's become a black box — the original developer is gone, the documentation is thin, and nobody wants to touch it. I take over full ownership so you don't have to worry.
When incremental patches are no longer enough, a considered rewrite to a modern stack can transform a liability into an asset — improving speed, reliability, and your ability to add new features.
AI can automate repetitive decisions, extract intelligence from documents, generate first drafts, and surface insights from data — if it's wired into your real workflows. I make that happen practically.
No lengthy procurement processes, no junior developers learning on your budget. Just a clear path from problem to solution.
A free 45-minute conversation to understand your business, your software situation, and what success looks like. No pressure, no sales pitch.
I produce a clear written proposal: what I'll build or do, how long it will take, what it will cost, and how we'll know when it's done.
Working software delivered in short iterative cycles. You see progress early and often — nothing is hidden in a six-month black box.
Once live, most clients stay on a monthly retainer. I own the software, handle support, and add features as your business grows.
Working with a boutique consultancy means you get direct access to an experienced developer — not an account manager who passes everything to a rotating team.
No account managers, no project coordinators. The person you speak to is the person writing the code — which means faster decisions and no lost-in-translation problems.
I build software I'll still be responsible for in five years. That means clean code, proper documentation, and architecture that won't become the next legacy headache.
I've built order management portals, finance dashboards, product data systems, and operations tools for SMBs across manufacturing, distribution, and services.
You don't need to understand the technology. I explain what I'm building and why in plain terms, so you can make informed decisions without a technical background.
"We'd been putting off modernising our old Web Forms system for years because we were terrified of what might break. Dan took ownership from day one, and we now have a fast, maintainable Blazor app we can actually build on."— Operations Director, UK Manufacturing SMB
A selection of representative projects — all details anonymised to protect client confidentiality.
A wholesale distributor was managing thousands of orders and product lines across disconnected spreadsheets and a legacy desktop application. Stock errors and manual re-keying were costing hours each day.
A manufacturer's core operations system had been running on ASP.NET Web Forms since 2008. No documentation, a single developer who had left, and growing fear that any change would break something critical.
A growing services firm had financial and operational data spread across three different tools and multiple spreadsheet exports. Leadership couldn't get a real-time view of where the business stood.
A retailer received hundreds of supplier invoices and product data sheets in inconsistent PDF and spreadsheet formats each week. Staff were spending two days a week manually extracting and re-entering data.
A growing business needed a professional website they could manage themselves — but off-the-shelf platforms weren't flexible enough for their content structure, and they wanted it backed by a proper .NET stack they could extend over time.
Deep expertise in Microsoft's .NET ecosystem and Azure cloud — the reliable, enterprise-grade stack that SMBs can depend on for the long term.
