White-label development for agencies and studios
Your client needs a web app, a Laravel backend or a fix in an old codebase, and nobody on your team is free. I do the development under your name. You stay your client's contact, and I work in your repositories and tools.
I'm all in on AI, so I move fast. I stay careful, because the code goes out under your name.
I usually reply within one working day.
What I take on
New apps, old code and extra hands for your projects.
Web apps and SaaS
New apps for your clients, from the data model to billing and the admin area. Laravel and Vue first, other stacks when the client uses them.
Existing client codebases
Apps that grew over the years, with code from several developers. I get into them quickly and fix, extend or upgrade them.
Backends for your designs
Your team designs the frontend. I build the backend, the APIs and the integrations behind it.
White-label SaaS
A SaaS product your agency sells under its own brand, with accounts, teams, billing and your logo.
Extra capacity
When your developers are busy, I take on a project or part of one, in your repositories and your ticket system.
A handover your team can use
Clean code and notes on how things work, so your developers can carry on without me.
How I work
You don't need to have everything figured out before we talk. An idea, access to the repo, a screen recording or a list of problems is enough. I look at what is there, tell you what I would do and what it costs, and then I build it.
I use Claude Code, Codex and my own agent workflows for reading code, planning changes, writing tests, refactoring and debugging. It is not vibe coding. It is senior engineering with a much faster loop.
AI-first, through pull requests
Claude Code, Codex and my own agent workflows help me get into a client's codebase fast. I work through pull requests, you review what goes out, and I only contact your client when you ask me to.
I stay in control
AI writes a lot of my code. I still make every technical decision, read every change before it ships, and test it. Fast, but meticulous: the speed is only worth something if what goes live is right.
The way you want to work
Some clients want to look at every change before it goes live, others want me to deploy. Some want a weekly call, most prefer written updates. I work well asynchronously, and I still ask the important questions when they come up.
I think like an owner
I still run my own online products. So when I build or fix yours, I think about traffic, conversion, revenue and support as much as about the code, and I tell you when something is not worth building.
Ways to work with me
Fixed price, a flat monthly rate, or hourly. It's always me doing the work, not an agency. If you're not sure, describe what you need and I'll suggest one.
Examples of my work
Work inside other companies' products and teams.
Reporting and certificates in a mature SaaS
Custom reporting, exports and certificate workflows inside a large Laravel LMS. I turned customer conversations into requirements the team could build on.
Refactoring and a new integration
A new access model, a typed booking gateway and a second booking provider, added while the product kept running.
Taking over a legacy Laravel/Vue app
A product configurator with many variants and rules and code that was hard to follow. I extended pricing, compatibility and exports without breaking existing configurations.
What clients say
"We work with Vincent regularly on Laravel/Vue projects, both new builds and existing codebases that have grown over the years. In both cases, he delivers clean code and reliable implementation."
"He also turned customer discussions into clear technical requirements and documented his work so the rest of the team could build on it."
"The result is a developer who delivers without overhead, and that's been genuinely valuable."
Questions
Do you talk to our clients?
Not by default. You stay the contact, and I join a call only when you ask me to.
Will you sign an NDA?
Yes. I also keep white-label work out of my portfolio unless you agree.
Which stacks do you work in?
Mostly Laravel and Vue. I also work in React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Go and WordPress.
Can you work in our tools?
Yes. I work in your Git hosting, ticket system, chat and deployment setup.
Can we bring you in for a single project?
Yes. One project, several projects, or ongoing work.
How do you charge?
Fixed price for a job with a clear outcome, a flat monthly rate for ongoing work, or hourly. Describe what you need and I'll suggest one.
