Developer · Architect · Technical lead · SEO

I’ll look after your tech — and actually explain it.

I’m Alan, a full-stack developer and technical lead. I build websites, custom software and SEO for small and growing businesses — and talk to you in plain English, not jargon.

Why work with me

Big-tech experience. Small-business manner.

I’ve built systems for companies like Google and Handshake. Now I bring that standard to businesses who’d rather not think about tech at all.

  1. You talk to me, not an account manager

    The person you speak to is the person doing the work. No hand-offs, no chasing.

  2. Plain English, always

    Options, costs and trade-offs explained clearly, so you can decide with confidence.

  3. Built to last

    Solid, well-documented work that won’t fall over — or lock you in — a year from now.

What clients say

“Fantastic service, from start to finish! Alan delivered brilliant results and I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
