Hire Me

Hire a senior developer who ships.

You're looking for a freelance full-stack developer — someone who can take ownership of your project, build it properly, and stick around after launch. That's what I do. Fixed-price, remote, no jargon, no hand-offs.

Whether you need custom software development, a web application built from scratch, or someone to take over a project that's stalled — you work directly with me, from first call to deployment.

Why businesses hire a freelance developer like me

01

One point of contact

No account managers, no junior hand-offs. You work directly with Christopher McGrath from first call to launch and beyond.

02

Fixed-price, no surprises

Every engagement is scoped and priced before a line of code is written. No hourly meter, no surprise invoices, no reason to hold back questions.

03

Big-company engineering

20+ years building platforms for national companies. You get that same engineering — Laravel, React, Vue, Node — sized to your business and budget.

04

Built to last

Clean, organised code you fully own. No vendor lock-in, no template rental. Software that holds up as you get busier.

What I build

Custom software development, web apps, and project rescue — here's what businesses hire me for most often.

Custom Software Development

Bespoke software built from the ground up — dashboards, portals, internal tools, and web applications engineered around how your business works.

Web Application Development

Fast, modern web apps and marketing sites that load quickly, look sharp, and convert visitors into customers.

Project Rescue

Inherited a mess or your developer disappeared? I take over stalled, broken, and abandoned codebases and get them shipping again.

Legacy Software Modernisation

Incremental upgrades to aging systems — faster load times, fewer bottlenecks, and code that your team can actually maintain.

Code Audit & Assessment

A thorough review of your existing codebase — what works, what's risky, and a clear, prioritised plan to move forward.

Fractional Tech Leadership

Senior technical guidance — virtual CTO services, technology strategy, and vendor decisions without a full-time hire.

Industries I've built for

Healthcare, automotive, and manufacturing — here are some of the sectors where I've delivered software that runs every day.

Healthcare

Web platforms, patient portals, and facility management systems built to meet accessibility and security standards.

Automotive

SaaS platforms, dealer management tools, and multi-tenant applications serving businesses nationwide.

Manufacturing

Order tracking, quote management, and operational dashboards that give field and office teams real-time visibility.

The right tool, not the trendy one.

Laravel, React, Vue, Node, WordPress — I reach for the stack that fits your project. As a senior Laravel developer and full-stack generalist, I build things that are easy to maintain and don't fall over when you get busy.

How to hire me

1

Discovery Call

We talk through what you need built, what's broken, or what's stalled. No sales pitch, no jargon.

2

Scope & Fixed Price

I assess the work, scope it properly, and give you a clear fixed price covering exactly what gets done.

3

Build & Ship

You get progress updates along the way. I build it, test it, and get it live.

4

Launch & Support

I'm still here after launch. When something comes up, you call me — not a help desk.
