More than websites
I take a business problem from the first conversation to software people use every day. That means understanding how the work is really done, designing the data and architecture, building the web, mobile and desktop apps, and staying with the product after launch.
Plan
Requirements, data model and architecture agreed before screens are built.
Build
Laravel, Next.js and Node.js on the web; Flutter for Android, iOS and Windows.
Run
Releases, app store submissions, installers, support and steady improvement.
Flagship product
Asaan Optics runs optical shops from the counter PC and the owner’s phone.
A subscription SaaS I designed and built alone: a Flutter app for Android, a Windows desktop app, a Node.js backend and the website that markets it. Prescriptions, sales, stock, staff shifts and receipts on WhatsApp, and it keeps working when the internet does not.

Development approach
Every project follows the same five steps, from the first meeting to support after launch.
- Step 1
Understand the business
I learn how the work is done today: who uses the system, what they enter, what they need back, and where time or money is being lost.
- Step 2
Design the system
Data model, modules, roles and integrations are agreed before any screens are built, so the software can grow without rewrites.
- Step 3
Build in working increments
You see real, usable software early and often. Feedback goes into the next increment rather than a final surprise.
- Step 4
Release to production
Deployment, app store submission or a Windows installer, plus data migration and training for the people who will use it.
- Step 5
Support and improve
After launch I fix issues, watch how the product is used and keep shipping improvements based on real usage.
