Introduction

Hello! I'm
Sammy.

I am the software engineer behind SMZR. I help businesses build the complex digital tools they need to grow, without the overhead of a large agency.

The Philosophy

Stop fighting your software.
Make it work for you.

If you need custom software, you usually have two choices...

The Agency

Big agencies are usually reliable and skilled, but expensive. You pay for their office, their account managers, and their overheads. You rarely speak to the person writing your code.

The Freelancer

Freelancers are usually cheaper, but sometimes unreliable. They might vanish halfway through a project or write code that breaks as soon as you scale.

I built SMZR to be the middle ground.

I offer the technical discipline and architectural knowledge of a senior agency developer, but with the agility and direct communication of a freelancer. You work directly with me. No account managers and no lost in translation. You get direct access to the engineer solving your problem.

Freelance developer in Chichester

I believe that the best work happens when you can sit down and discuss a problem face-to-face. Being based in Chichester allows me to be a genuine partner to local businesses.
