WordPress care · Custom builds · Payments · AI
I build it, ship it, and keep it running.
You deal with one person who answers.
Sites, payments and AI assistants that keep working after launch. Behind them: four years of production work for enterprise companies and two SaaS products of my own with paying customers.

This chat is mine. Ask it anything.
Under the hood
What happens when your customer presses Pay.
A working demo of the payment flows I build. The card goes to Stripe, not the server, and the charge happens once even when the webhook arrives twice. Nothing is charged here and nothing leaves this page.
The journey
The whole thing, from the domain to the care plan.
Every project travels the same six stops, and you talk to the same person at each one.
