The right support.
Right where you need it.
Build something new. Make sense of what's there. Give your team a technical direction. Three ways to work together, with the same practical, personal approach.
From “what if” to working software.
You have an idea to test, a product to launch, or a platform that needs to do more. I work across the frontend, backend and infrastructure to turn it into software your business can depend on.
Tell me what you want to buildWhat we can work on
- Web applications, SaaS products and customer portals
- React and Next.js frontends; TypeScript and Node.js APIs
- Database design, integrations and payment systems
- Deployment, testing and a clear handover
A good fit for founders building a product and businesses that need extra engineering capacity.
A fresh perspective. A practical plan.
When your system feels too complex, delivery is slowing down, or the next decision feels expensive to get wrong, I help you understand the trade-offs and decide what to do next.
Talk through your challengeWhat we can work on

A few useful answers.
What if I'm not sure which service I need?
That's a perfectly good place to start. Tell me what you want to achieve and what's getting in the way. We can work out whether you need delivery, advice, ongoing leadership, or a mix.
How much will it cost?
It depends on the scope and the level of support you need. We'll discuss your goals, timeline and budget, then agree the work and its cost before getting started.
Can you work with our existing team or codebase?
Yes. The starting point is understanding your current system, how your team works, and where support will be most useful. An existing product can be the basis for development, a technical review, or ongoing CTO support.
Who will I actually work with?
You'll speak directly with Sam Street, the engineer behind orchestr.sh. That direct relationship runs from the first conversation through the work itself.
