The family geek, professional edition.

The one you call when nothing works any more,

or when you have an idea to build.

I fix what's broken, I build what's missing, and I do it with you.

A problem, a project, an idea

Whether you need a website, a repair or a partner for your project, you are in the right place.

Website creation

A showcase site or an online shop built around what you expect from it.

Building your project together

You have a project in mind and the drive to launch it. I build the whole technical side, free of charge.

  • No fees
  • Your technical right-hand man
  • A partner in every sense
  • As invested as you are

I never charge for advice or a fix that takes a few minutes.

Write to me, even with a simple question. If I can get you going again in five minutes, I will.

A website that works for you

A website has to do something for you: make you known, reassure, sell, or simply be there when someone looks you up. I build simple, fast, clear sites.

Showcase site or online shop

Show what you do, your products, your services and your prices. And, if you want to, sell directly online with secure payment.

Getting found on Google

Being found when someone searches for what you offer, in your town or further afield. The site is built for that from the start, not bolted on afterwards.

Online appointment booking

Your customers book a slot themselves, at any hour. Fewer calls to handle and fewer forgotten appointments.

Professional email address

An address on your own domain name that inspires trust and does not land in the spam folder.

SMS advertising

Announce an offer or something new straight to your customers. A short message, read almost every time, where an email often sinks into a crowded inbox.

Fast and secure site

Instant loading, secure connection, backups and updates. There is nothing for you to manage.

How it works

  1. 1

    We talk about your needs

    Your business, your customers, what the site has to achieve. This conversation is free, with no obligation, and it ends with a clear quote.

  2. 2

    I show you a mockup

    You see what the site will look like before it is built. We adjust it together until it genuinely suits you.

  3. 3

    Launch and follow-up

    I handle the domain name, the hosting and the launch. Afterwards I stay reachable for changes and questions.

Repair rather than replace

I come to you or work remotely, whichever is faster. You describe the problem as you experience it, I take care of the rest.

Slow or broken computer

Cleanup, drive replacement, reinstallation. A machine you thought was ready for the bin often runs for several more years.

Viruses and unwanted ads

Removal of the junk programs, the ads that open on their own and the toolbars installed without your knowledge.

Deleted or missing photos

Recovery of deleted files, your memories put somewhere safe, and automatic backups so you never lose them again.

Wifi, router, printer, TV

A connection that keeps dropping, a printer that refuses to install, a television to connect: I set the whole thing up so it just works.

Lost email and passwords

Recovery of your accounts, your mailbox back up and running, and a simple method so you never get locked out again.

Smartphone and tablet

Data transfer to a new device, backups, updates and settings so your phone becomes pleasant to use again.

If your problem is not on the list, get in touch anyway.

Free diagnosis, and a straight answer

I tell you what is wrong and what it costs before doing anything. If the repair is not worth it, I say so plainly rather than billing you for pointless work.

Launch your project without spending a euro

Many people spot a genuine opportunity but never act on it, because the technical side is too heavy to carry alone, and costs too much. Yet most digital businesses start with one person who understands a problem better than anyone else.

On those projects I step in as a technical partner in the business. You bring the vision and the hands-on knowledge, I take on the entire build: product, development, infrastructure, payments, launch, iteration and everything else.

I charge nothing. Time is money, and the time I put in is mine, along with my expertise. We share the value created once the product works. That model forces me to be selective and fully committed to every project I accept. I call it the sugar geek!

You bring the project, I bring the time and the craft, and we share what it becomes!
  • Product development

    Web or mobile app, platform, SaaS, marketplace or internal tool. The goal is simple: get a first useful version into the hands of real users quickly.

  • Infrastructure and reliability

    Hosting, databases, security, backups and monitoring. The invisible layer that keeps a product standing from day one.

  • Payments and monetisation

    Subscriptions, one-off payments, invoicing and access management. If the product needs revenue, the machinery is there from the start.

  • Launch and growth

    Going live, measuring usage, fixing fast and improving continuously based on what users actually do.

How we move forward

  1. 1

    You present the opportunity

    The problem, the users, and the role digital plays in the solution. No business plan needed: knowing who you are speaking to is enough.

  2. 2

    We scope it and I build

    We decide together what ships first, then I build the first version: product, engineering, infrastructure and launch.

  3. 3

    We launch and grow

    The product meets its first users. We learn from how they use it, reinforce what works, and share the success.

Professional geek

A software engineer, I have been designing and building for over ten years, in very different settings: enterprise systems, client products, projects launched from nothing. Architecture, backend, frontend, cloud, infrastructure and applied artificial intelligence.

Alongside that, I help individuals and small businesses near me with far more concrete needs: a website to create, a computer that will not start, lost photos to recover. It is the same craft in different words, and it matters to me just as much.

I did not end up here by accident. My grandmother took an interest in computing at a time when almost nobody did, and when nothing was pushing a woman of her generation towards it. She got me started very young, and it never left me. The family geek, in my house, was her before it was me.

A question, a project, something broken?

Send me a few lines. I reply to everyone.

Let's talk about what you need

Tell me what this is about and describe the situation in your own words. The more concrete you are, the more precise my answer will be.
