01 / What I Do

Services &
Expertise

Two stacks, one developer. Whether it's Laravel or Node.js, I build backend systems that work in production.

01

Laravel & PHP Development

Full application builds, API development, bug fixing, and system architecture. Maintainable code that scales in production — not just in dev.

02

Node.js & TypeScript Backend

Scalable server-side apps, microservices, and REST APIs with TypeScript — type-safe, predictable codebases that are easy to maintain and extend.

03

Database Architecture

Schema design, query optimisation, indexing, and migrations. MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis designed for real production traffic.

04

Deployment & DevOps

VPS setup, Nginx, SSL, CI/CD pipelines, and Docker. Zero-downtime deploys so your app goes live and stays live.

Bug Fixing & System Repair

Got a broken auth? failing queues? Nah, you need things running smoothly and I'm your guy. I trace the root cause, work my Gibson magic and voila, you are back up!

Performance Optimisation

Slow APIs are bad for business. I solve that problem by auditing your system end-to-end and making it fast under real production load.

03 / How I Work

Clear Process.
Zero Surprises.

Three stages. You always know what's happening and what's next.

01
Diagnose

Find the real problem

I give real solutions to real problems. Got a problem? I'll fix it, alright. But before that, I go through your logs, review the existing code and then, I give you a breakdown of exactly what's broken and why.

Error & log analysis
Full code audit
Infrastructure review
Written problem report
02
Build / Fix

Clean solution, not a patch

Next, I rebuild or refactor the root issue, using clean, well-structured code. We test locally first, to ensure everything runs smoothly. You also get to be in on a huge chunk of the action, because you'll get regular updates at every milestone.

03
Deploy

Shipped and verified live

When your project is back and bouncing, I conduct a full production check, after which I will give you handover documentation which entails every aspect of my work on your project. Sounds great, no? Hehe. I can assure

04 / Why Gibson

You need it
shipped.
I ship it.

You need it shipped. I ship it. You need someone who delivers on time, writes clean code, and steps up to the challenge? Well, hear it from someone who called Gibson:

"He understood the problem before I finished explaining it. Fixed it overnight and sent documentation I didn't even ask for."

Fast Delivery

Most projects and fixes ship within 24–72 hours. I communicate timeline upfront and I keep it — downtime costs money and I know that.

Two Stacks, One Developer

Laravel or Node.js, PHP or TypeScript — consistent delivery from one person who owns the whole backend. No handoffs, no dropped context.

Clear Communication

No ghosting. No jargon. Plain-English updates at every stage. I ask before assuming, and I'll tell you things you need to hear even when uncomfortable.

Production-Proven Code

My systems run with real users, real data, and real traffic. I've handled the failures, fixed the edge cases, and shipped patches at 2am.
