Process

Step 3 / 5 · When you bring the brief

Build

Custom-coded from scratch, with regular check-ins so there are no surprises at handoff. I build the whole thing myself, front to back.

What happens

In this step.

Designed and coded from scratch

No templates or shortcuts: the interface, the API and the database are built to fit the problem.

One source of truth

Business logic lives in one place on the backend, so every device shows the same result.

Web and mobile together

A shared API can power the web app and the mobile app, as with Rannikon and Kuopas.

Check-ins along the way

Regular demos and feedback, so the product is shaped by the people who will use it.

Case study

Rannikon

Farm worker timesheet platform for Rannikon Puutarha: hours, pay-rate summaries, and exports to PDF or Excel.

Web app

Kuopas

Student housing app for Kuopas in Kuopio: building chat, noticeboard, complaints, laundry, sauna and parking booking, and staff tools, in Finnish and English.

Mobile app

Kuopas Mobile

Examples

What that looks like.

Example 1

A calculation engine on the backend

A major early bug came from a second copy of the formula on the frontend, so Rannikon keeps the calculation in one place.

Example 2

One API, two apps

Kuopas Mobile talks to a /api/mobile bridge on the web app’s backend, so both share the same data and rules.

Example 3

Built solo, end to end

I built the entire Rannikon system on my own over several months: web app, Android app, API and database.
