Software developer specializing in fast turnarounds on full-stack web development, SaaS platforms, bug fixes, scripts, and automation. I take on focused tasks - you describe the problem, I deliver the solution, usually same-day or next-day. Clean code, clear communication, no fluff. What I do best: - Full-stack .NET Core / Angular development - Multi-tenant SaaS architecture and implementation - Bug fixes and debugging across any codebase - API integrations, payment systems (Stripe), and data processing - Custom scripts and automation (Python, Node.js, Bash) - Database work (SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL) - CI/CD pipelines, Docker, cloud deployment (Google Cloud, AWS, Azure) - Web scraping and document extraction 3 years as the sole developer on a production multi-tenant SaaS platform - architecture, backend, frontend, payments, deployment, all of it. I know what it takes to ship and maintain real software. I keep things simple: fixed pricing, fast delivery, and I don't disappear mid-project.

Hi, I’m Josh, founder of CodeNameKylo, a software development and automation studio focused on helping businesses build better digital systems. I specialise in custom websites, SaaS platforms, WordPress and WooCommerce builds, GoHighLevel systems, internal dashboards, CRM workflows, API integrations, automation, and business tools that reduce manual work and improve operations. I work across platforms like WordPress, GoHighLevel, Webflow, Framer, Wix, BigCommerce, Supabase, Next.js, Flutter, JavaScript, APIs, and headless CMS setups. My background combines software development, technical consulting, digital media, SEO, analytics, and automation. This allows me to help clients not only build the system, but also understand how it supports their business goals. I’ve worked on projects involving lead generation systems, clinical trial workflows, e-commerce stores, reporting dashboards, CRM/ERP-style internal tools, custom web apps, marketing funnels, and automation-heavy business platforms. What makes me different is that I do not just “complete tasks.” I think through the full system: what the user needs, what the business needs, where the bottlenecks are, and how the build should scale over time. Whether you need a reliable developer, a technical partner, or someone who can turn a messy workflow into a clean working system, I can help. Let’s build something practical, polished, and useful

If your application is losing users, stuck in development loops, or failing in production, I am here to fix the root business problem, not just patch the code. I am a systems-focused developer with a BSc in Computer Science & IT and a 100% Job Success Score.

Whether you have a platform left unfinished by a previous team or an AI-built application that doesn't actually work, I step in to deliver stability. ================================= 🚀 HOW I PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS & BUDGET ▪ Business-First Engineering: I focus on the simplest, most stable solutions. No over-engineering. No wasted budget on unnecessary complexity. ▪ Root-Cause Diagnostics: I don't just fix symptoms. I find why your system is failing so your users stop running into errors and your team stops wasting time. ▪ Turnkey Delivery: I handle the entire process from data structure to user experience, meaning you don't have to manage multiple freelancers. ================================= 💼 CORE PROBLEMS I SOLVE FOR CLIENTS ▪ App Rescue & Completion: Finishing broken or half-built software (including AI MVPs) so you can finally launch to market. ▪ System Bottlenecks & Speed: Optimizing slow websites and database pipelines to improve user retention and system reliability. ▪ Secure Integrations: Connecting payment gateways, third-party tools, and custom APIs so your business workflows run seamlessly. ▪ Authentication & Security: Ensuring your user data, logins, and access controls are bulletproof and compliant. ================================= ⚙️ CORE TOOLKIT Python, Django, REST APIs, React, PostgreSQL/SQL, and Firebase. ================================= 📈 MY EXECUTION PROCESS 1. The Alignment: We clarify exactly what your business needs the system to achieve before writing code. This eliminates costly revisions. 2. The Fix: I implement clean, maintainable logic structured for long-term production use. 3. The Handover: You get a fully stable system alongside clear, human-readable documentation so you are never left in the dark. If you want your platform built properly from the ground up, or need a broken system permanently stabilized for your clients, let’s get it done right the first time.
