I build fast, secure websites and look after them.

Hi, I’m Raz, a full-stack developer with more than 20 years of experience. I build websites and web apps across the PHP world, mostly with Laravel, and front ends in Vue.js, React or Livewire. Client sites run on Wire-⁠Up, the open-source CMS I created, and I keep them running on my own servers.

Selected work

A few projects I’m proud of, from a real-estate CRM to small business sites. All projects

BLISS Imobiliare

Real estate · Bucharest, Romania

The website and the custom admin a Bucharest real-estate agency runs on every day: listings, a CRM, agenda and telemarketing, campaigns, and feeds to Romania’s big property portals. I’ve been their developer since 2018.

Knowledge and Needles

Cross-stitch shop · Brighton, Ontario

A 1,868-pattern cross-stitch catalogue rescued from a WordPress site that had stopped working. I moved it to Wire-⁠Up, redirected thousands of old links, and moved the domain and email too.

A warm, single-page site for a trauma-informed parenting coach: programs, credentials, speaking, and a waiting-list form that lands in the inbox and the admin.

Tell me about your business and what the site needs to do. No jargon, no pressure.

Plan

I come back with a clear plan, a timeline and a quote before any work starts.

Build

I build the site and share a preview link, so you can watch it take shape and give feedback.

Launch and care

We go live, I show you how to edit everything, and I stay around for hosting and updates.

A bit about me

I wrote my first website more than 20 years ago and never stopped. Since then I’ve built everything from small business sites to a real-estate CRM that a whole agency uses all day, every day.

I work across the PHP world, mostly with Laravel, and on the front end with Vue.js, React, Livewire or Alpine.js, whichever fits the project. Client sites run on Wire-⁠Up, an open-source CMS I created so clients get an admin they can actually use, and I get a codebase that’s strict and fully tested.

You work with me directly, from the first call to launch day and long after. I’m based in Canada and happy to work with clients anywhere.

Away from the keyboard I’m a husband, a proud dad of three, and always up for a game of basketball.

Open source

I build in the open and contribute to projects in the PHP and Laravel community. See my GitHub
