Home | Full Stack App Co.

I'm Joby, an independent full stack web developer based in Brighton, UK.

I help businesses automate processes and build, launch, maintain, extend and harden web applications.

Technical on Tap

Whether you need work done on an existing web app, to build and deploy a SaaS or back-office system, someone to automate processes or even a representative to help you communicate with your high-profile customer's technical team I'll make sure things are a breeze.

Move Fast

I love to get things done. With a wealth of engineering experience across the software development lifecycle and a background in design and illustration, there isn't much I can't tackle independently. I'm AI forward and work with carefully selected coding agents to massively boost my output.

Easy Enterprise

Over the years I've worked on software used by Sky TV, The UK Civil Service, EasyJet, The British Library, Amazon and several multinationals in the pharmaceutical sector so I know what it means to build production ready software for business use.

We selected Joby from around 300 independents to continue developing the RapidWeaver Addon Marketplace, and we’re glad we did.

He’s a web applications expert with a ton of experience; we’re yet to find something he can't handle.

Joby has helped us deliver a number of projects over the years and we couldn't recommend him enough.

He's proactive, trustworthy, creative, communicative, and manages his time exceptionally.

It's been just over a year since Joby started working with our team, and I can honestly say it's been an absolute pleasure.

The transition to bringing Joby on was, hands down, the easiest I've ever experienced – no fuss, no protracted onboarding, just immediate, high-quality contribution.

Joby took over from my previous developer and has excelled at quickly understanding our complex back office system.

He keeps me informed, meets deadlines and frequently exceeds expectations. I am excited about continuing our collaboration for many years ahead.

FAQs

How do you work?: Most people find a rolling monthly allocation of days to be just the ticket. Sometimes though, a fixed-fee fixed scope project makes more sense.
Which days will you work for me?: Only working with you 'every Tuesday' creates bottlenecks and holds up projects so I flexibly allocate your days throughout the month based on priorities we've discussed and any which crop up along the way. If we've agreed to 4 days then I'll work for you 32 hours in total that calendar month.
What if I need more days than agreed one month?: Let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate it, often it's no problem, but I can't guarantee I'll have additional availability once the month has started.
How will we communicate?: You'll be able to contact me Mon–Fri during office hours. Drop me an email anytime or speak with me directly on a pre-arranged call. I've invested in quality hardware so video conferencing is clear & productive.
How long are your days?: 8 hours.
Will you commute to our office?: I work remotely from my office in Brighton, set up so I'm super productive. If you'd like me to visit for a one-off workshop or event I'm happy to discuss it with you.
Do you have insurance?: Absolutely.
