Technology that makes business simpler.
I help founders and small businesses make better technology decisions, reduce repetitive work and build software that solves real problems.
From the first idea to a working application, you get practical advice grounded in software development and hands-on business experience.
Who I help
Good ideas deserve good decisions.
Whether you're starting something new or improving an established business, the right solution begins with understanding your goals and constraints.
Small & growing businesses
Your processes rely on spreadsheets, repeated data entry or disconnected tools. Let's identify practical improvements before investing in another system.

Hi, I'm Andra.
I'm a full-stack software developer with a First Class BSc (Hons) in Computing and more than 15 years of hands-on e-commerce experience.

That combination shapes my approach: understand what a business actually needs, choose technology carefully and build something maintainable.
