Hi, I'm Louis.
I build web
apps & bespoke
software.
Freelance software developer with 18+ years of experience, based in Folkestone, Kent. I take products from idea to live: SaaS, MVPs, internal tools and the systems behind them.
What I build
Web Apps & SaaS
Full products built properly: auth, database, API, billing and a fast front end. React and TypeScript on top, Node or Python underneath, PostgreSQL behind it.
MVPs for Founders
Idea to live product, fast. A tight scope, a staging site you can click around from week one, and a launch you can put in front of real users and investors.
Bespoke Software
Internal tools, dashboards, APIs and integrations shaped around how your business actually works: replacing spreadsheets and connecting the systems you already use.

Runs the business side of freelancing in one place: track proposals, stop scope creep, deliver securely and chase late invoices automatically.

Obsidian Collectibles
UK Shopify store for sealed Pokémon TCG, Magic: The Gathering and anime figures, plus 3D-printed display pieces designed in-house.

Proven tools, no experiments on your budget. I work AI-assisted with Claude Code and OpenCode, so you get senior-level engineering at startup pace.
How I work
Discovery
A quick call or email to talk through your goals, constraints and what success looks like. No jargon, no sales pitch.
Plan & build
A clear written scope and quote, then I build. You see progress on a live staging URL from early on, not a big reveal at the end.
Ship & hand over
You get a live product, a clean repo, and full ownership of the code. I'm here for the next iteration too.
Got a project in mind?
I'm accepting new projects. If you have an idea or a business challenge, let's talk.
