From SaaS platforms to enterprise APIs and single-page applications, we specialize in building robust web solutions using Laravel, Vue, and InertiaJS. We have worked with these technologies since their earliest releases and bring deep technical experience to every project.
Our process covers every phase of development to ensure your success:
We are more than just developers—we are your technical partners. With years of experience in Laravel, Vue, and InertiaJS, we help you make smart decisions, avoid costly missteps, and deliver applications that are fast, scalable, and built to last.
For clearly scoped work, we offer flat-fee pricing. This begins with a paid discovery and planning phase to define goals, technical requirements, and key features. From there, we provide a fixed quote and delivery timeline—ideal for projects with a defined outcome, minimal scope changes, and a clear path to launch.
Best suited for:
This model gives you predictability in budget and timeline—ideal when goals are well defined and changes are minimal.
For evolving or long-term work, we offer hourly billing. This flexible model supports continuous development, shifting priorities, and open-ended problem solving. You get expert guidance without needing a fixed scope—ideal for products in active growth, technical investigations, or teams needing ongoing development support.
Best suited for:
You get access to the same expert team—just with the flexibility to adapt as your needs evolve.
I’m Paul Burdick, a full-stack web developer with over two decades of experience building modern, scalable web applications. I’ve served as CTO, VP of Engineering, Lead Engineer, and everything in between—but at my core, I’m someone who loves writing clean code and crafting great products.
I’ve built SaaS platforms from scratch, modernized legacy codebases, led high-performing engineering teams, and delivered features used by thousands of people every day. My specialties are Laravel, Vue, and InertiaJS, along with the infrastructure, architecture, and product thinking that turn a good idea into a dependable application.
This studio is my solo practice—when you work with me, you're working with someone who’s as comfortable shaping product direction as they are diving into a complex queue system or tuning a Redis cache.
If you need a seasoned developer who understands the full lifecycle of web development—from early scoping to deployment and beyond—I’d love to hear about your project.
We begin with a discovery and planning phase to define your goals, technical requirements, and timeline. For hourly work, we can usually begin right away. For fixed-fee projects, this phase leads to a clear scope and quote.
Yes. We frequently work with legacy systems or partially built applications. We will review the current code to assess stability and suggest the best path forward.
We focus on Laravel, Vue.js, InertiaJS, and modern PHP development. We also work with related tools like Tailwind CSS, Redis, MySQL/PostgreSQL, and deployment pipelines like Forge and GitHub Actions.
We provide weekly status updates, clear task tracking, and are available via email, Slack, or scheduled calls. We can also integrate into your existing tools if preferred.
For hourly projects, yes—flexibility is expected. For fixed-fee projects, we handle changes through structured change requests and updated estimates to avoid scope creep.
Hourly projects are invoiced every 30 days with Net 30 payment terms and include weekly updates on hours logged. Fixed-fee projects require a 50% deposit up front, with the remaining 50% due upon project completion and delivery. All terms are outlined clearly before work begins.
We do not provide full website or brand design services, but we have extensive experience building polished, user-friendly interfaces. We can work from your existing design system, collaborate with your in-house or contract designer, or take the lead on implementing clean, modern UI/UX patterns. Our work often includes layout design, color palette selection, icon integration, mobile-first responsiveness, and accessibility considerations—especially for complex, data-driven applications.
Yes—we regularly step in to stabilize and modernize struggling projects. Whether the original team is unavailable, deadlines are slipping, or the codebase is outdated, we can help. We specialize in assessing the current state of a project, identifying technical debt, and creating a clear recovery plan. This includes refactoring legacy Laravel or PHP applications (even those untouched for 5+ years), resolving bugs, improving performance, upgrading packages, and re-establishing a maintainable development workflow. If your app is stuck, we can get it moving again.
Yes. We are happy to sign a mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement before discussing project details. Protecting your intellectual property and business ideas is important to us, and we treat all client communications as confidential—whether or not a formal NDA is in place.
You will have full access to the source code and are free to continue using it—even if our engagement ends. We believe in transparency and portability. However, unless otherwise agreed in writing, we retain the right to reuse generic or non-client-specific code components (such as reusable libraries, scaffolding, or tools) in other projects. Any proprietary or project-unique logic remains yours. If exclusive ownership is required, we are open to discussing that as part of the contract.
Drop us a quick email about what you're building, what challenges you're facing, or what ideas you're exploring. We'll schedule a time to dive into the details, answer your questions, and figure out how we can help bring your project to life.
