What I build

The kinds of projects clients hire me for most often.

Most projects fall into one of these buckets.

Business software

I build tools that help businesses manage work better, like dashboards, portals, forms, payments, and custom systems.

Good fit if your business is wasting time doing things by hand.

Web apps and custom builds

I can build a full web app, improve an app you already have, or help turn your idea into a real product.

Good fit if you need something built and want one person you can work with directly.

Trading analysis platform

Makarios

I built this web app from scratch for traders. It helps them review markets, journal trades, and study their results.

Some projects are private, so I would rather show the real public work I can show and keep the rest honest.

Why clients hire me

A simpler way to build than hiring an agency for everything.

I keep the process simple, the communication clear, and the work moving.

Direct communication

You talk directly with the person building the work.

Practical scoping

I help keep the project focused so you do not waste money on things you do not need yet.

Clean handoff

I build things in a way that can be updated later without turning into a mess.

Support after launch

After launch, I can keep helping you improve and grow it.

FAQ

Questions buyers usually ask before reaching out.

These are the simple questions people usually have before they reach out.

Do you work on existing apps or only new builds?

Both. I can build something new or improve something you already have.

Can you help define the product, not just code it?

Yes. I can help you figure out what should be built first.

Do you build fixed-scope MVPs?

Yes, when the project is clear enough. If not, we can start smaller and figure out the best first step.

Can you build a simple business website too?

Yes. If you need a clean site to get your business online, I can build that as well.

Specialty work

I also build trader tools.

I also build software for traders, including journals, dashboards, chart tools, and automation.

It is more specialized, but the process stays simple.

  • TradingView or MT5 tools
