Problems I solve
Most projects start with one of these — recognize yours?
Services
Where I can help
Six areas where I most often move a business forward — each scoped around a problem and a deliverable, not a menu of technologies.
Professional websites
Your website looks outdated, loses mobile visitors, or doesn't explain what you actually do.
- Deliverable
- A responsive, conversion-focused website with clear calls to action and clean technical SEO.
- Benefit
- More visitors understand what you offer and take the next step instead of leaving.
Custom business software
Your internal software is slow, hard to maintain, or you're still running parts of the business on spreadsheets.
- Deliverable
- A working application — dashboard, portal or internal tool — built for your actual workflow.
- Benefit
- Less manual data-wrangling, fewer errors, and software that can grow with the business.
AI assistants
Your staff answers the same questions repeatedly, and leads go quiet outside business hours.
- Deliverable
- An AI assistant that answers from your knowledge base, collects lead details, and hands off what it can't answer.
- Benefit
- Visitors get answers immediately, and qualified leads reach you even outside office hours.
Workflow automation
Leads aren't followed up consistently, and booking or intake still happens by hand.
- Deliverable
- Automated routing, notifications and data sync between the tools you already use.
- Benefit
- Less manual admin work, fewer dropped leads, and more consistent follow-up.
Laravel and Symfony modernization
Your Laravel or Symfony application has accumulated technical debt and is getting harder to maintain.
- Deliverable
- An upgraded, better-performing application with a clearer path forward.
- Benefit
- Fewer production issues, faster development going forward, and a codebase your team can maintain.
Website audits and performance optimization
You suspect your website has UX, performance or SEO issues but don't know what to prioritize.
- Deliverable
- A prioritized written review covering UX, performance, technical SEO and accessibility.
- Benefit
- A clear, ranked list of what to fix first instead of guessing.
AI Website Assistant
An assistant that lives on your website, answers from your own approved content, and routes interested visitors toward a conversation with you. It supports your team — it does not replace it.
- Answers approved company questions
- Uses your own knowledge base
- Collects qualified lead information
- Directs visitors toward booking or contact
- Escalates unanswered questions to you
- Operates outside business hours
- Integrates with your existing website
- Gives you usage and conversation visibility
Final capabilities depend on your process and the integrations you choose. It does not provide medical, legal or financial advice — for clinics specifically, it handles administrative and approved informational questions only, never diagnosis or medical decisions.
Visitor
Do you offer support after the site launches?
Assistant
Yes — ongoing maintenance is one of the engagement options. Would you like me to collect your details so Smail can follow up with specifics?
Visitor
Can you diagnose why my checkout is broken?
Assistant
That needs a closer look than I can give — I've flagged this for Smail to follow up with you directly.
Selected work
A sample of what I've built
Products, open-source work and research — each labeled for what it actually is.
ResearchOS
An AI-assisted workspace for organizing and reasoning over research material.
AI agent management platform
A platform for creating and managing AI agents, their knowledge bases and usage — the same building blocks behind the AI Website Assistant service.
Laravel MigrationOrderer
A Laravel package that resolves and orders database migrations by their actual foreign-key dependencies.
How we'd work together
A straightforward four-step process
Scope stays clear at every stage, and you're never waiting on a black box.
- 01
Discovery
A call to understand your business, your current setup, and what outcome you actually need.
- 02
Audit and proposal
I review what exists (if anything) and propose a scoped plan — what gets built, in what order, and why.
- 03
Design and implementation
Work happens in stages you can see and comment on, not a black box until the end.
- 04
Launch and ongoing improvement
Once live, we track how it performs and keep improving it — or hand off cleanly if that's the plan.
Ways to work together
Engagement formats
Scope varies a lot by project, so exact pricing is set after a short discovery conversation rather than picked from a menu.
Focused improvement
A specific, bounded piece of work with a clear scope and finish line.
- Website audit
- Performance fix
- A single integration or feature
Complete solution
A full build from discovery through launch.
- Website
- Customer portal
- AI assistant
- Booking workflow
- Custom application
Ongoing technical partnership
Continued support once something is live.
- Maintenance
- Iterative improvements
- Monitoring
- Technical support
Every engagement starts with a discovery call — that's where scope and, where relevant, starting-from estimates get discussed.

Website audit
Not sure what to fix first? Start with a review.
Send over your site and the main problem you're seeing. I'll personally review it and get back to you with prioritized, practical findings — not an automated score.
- UX, mobile, performance, technical SEO and accessibility reviewed
- Findings ranked by impact, not a generic checklist
- This is a manual review by me, personally — not an automated report
Book your audit call
Send over your site link on the call and I'll walk through what I'd fix first — no form to fill out first.
