Hey there, I’m a Jonathan, fractional CTO and full stack developer. I've specifically worked for the past 5 years developing SAAS applications from the ground up using Laravel and Blade/Vuejs depending on the project. Before starting to freelance I was the CTO and technical co-founder of a successful SAAS startup which I exited in 2021. Also I am good at
Whether you have a development team of 1 or a dev team of none I'm here to help you build out your development team. I can help you decide between an inhouse our outsourced dev team, with recruiting and interviewing potential candidates, and setting up internal best practices for development teams.
Often times products are running over time and over budget. I help teams to identify the primary components needed to get an MVP out the door or to ship a long overdue feature. From there I can help to establish a roadmap which can easily be ingested by an existing developmenn and finally I'll lead that team until project completion.
At my core I'm a fullstack developer and I always like to get back to my roots and get deep into the code working to ship features, resolve deep techinical issues, enhance/modernize existing codebases, and designing and developing scaleable infasture plans.
On this project I was working to finish developing a website which was stuck in development hell. The previous "CTO" who was tasked with development was outsourcing the project to a third party and the project was a complete mess. I was tasked with redeveloping the website, adding new features, and switching the hosting over to AWS.
For this specific feature I was tasked with figuring out a way to allow the user to start at the "good part" of each song. This feature would allow the user to bypass the more boring parts of the songs in the player and skip straight to the good parts.

For this project I was coming in to review and create a scope of work for the redevelopment of a SAAS applicaiton. The original developer had build the project in a long defunct CMS called Wolf CMS and was never able to get the project in a working state. After reviewing the initial code I was tasked with determining what would need to be done in order to redevelop a working SAAS application.
I came up with a scope of work that included a gantt chart, milestones, a scope of work to be completed, and the amount it would take to complete the scope of work. I then presented this to the client so that he could take it with him and use my work to begin development of the application.

Client came to me asking me to review their AWS infrastructure as well as their laravel based application. I was able to review all of their infrastructure and code and was able to advise them on how to improve their infrastructure by pointing out key strengths and weaknesses and letting them know how they could be improved.
I provided the client with a full written report which included a deep dive on their frontend, backend code, security audit, and aws infrastructure audit and more. Along with my written report I provided an hour in person review to go over all of my findings.
