What I do

I help EU businesses keep their websites stable, secure, and easy to maintain, with predictable monthly costs.

Ongoing maintenance and updates

- Regular security and bug-fix releases for your website and its dependencies.
- Content and small design updates on request.
- Monitoring of error logs and uptime, so problems are detected early.

Performance and reliability

- Caching setup and tuning, where it makes sense.
- Help with scaling when traffic grows.

Use of AI tools

- Use of AI assistants (OpenAI, ChatGPT, Claude, and others) to research options and find solutions faster.
- AI is used only as support: I review, adapt, and test all code and changes myself.

Technical support and consulting

- Technical contact person for your website team or agency partners.
- Help with planning new features and estimating development work.
- Clear explanations of technical risks and trade-offs in simple language.

Integrations and automation

- Integration with payment systems, mailing tools, analytics, and other external services.
- Setup of data feeds, exports, and small internal tools for your team.
- Review and optimisation of existing integrations.

Emergency help and incident response

- First response for urgent issues such as downtime, failed checkouts, or serious bugs.
- Direct communication via email, chat, or phone (during agreed hours).
- Clear post-incident report with timeline and next steps.
