Founder-led development studio
Full-stack development for businesses who need a senior builder, not a team of juniors and a project manager.

We build the first version
that actually ships.
Architecture, frontend, backend, infra, and launch under one roof. Tight scope, fast turnaround, and a product in users' hands in weeks.
Founder-led, backed by results.
From funded SaaS and mobile apps to commerce rebuilds and infrastructure-heavy products.

Selected work
Brickwood
Five venues, one custom booking system, shipped in a week
Replaced a generic TypeForm with a purpose-built Next.js app for a five-venue South London café chain. Handles venue-specific menus, booking validation, full cost calculation, and routes on-brand confirmation emails to the right manager automatically.
AussieBankStatements
Bank statement converter and categorizer that never stores what it reads
A custom full-stack app on GCP that parses Australian bank statement PDFs into clean CSV. No AI, a dedicated parser per bank, and nothing written to disk. Built for people who want the extraction without handing their spending history to a chatbot that keeps it.
SignalSauce
250 qualified leads a month, fully automated
Built an end-to-end intelligence pipeline that ingests from 5 curated news sources twice daily, scores every announcement against a custom algorithm, and enriches the ones that pass with 21 structured data points per company.
How we work
MVP Build
Go from idea to a working product in weeks. We scope tightly, build fast, and get something real into users' hands.
Businesses with a clear product idea who need the first version built and deployed.
- Full-stack build: frontend, backend, infra
- Auth, payments, and core features
- Deployed and launch-ready
- Post-launch bug fixes
Product Rebuild
Replace a slow, fragile, or outgrown codebase with a clean architecture that can scale.
Businesses stuck on legacy code, poor performance, or a product that has outgrown its stack.
- Architecture audit and migration plan
- Headless or modern stack migration
- Data migration and continuity
- Performance and SEO improvements
Ongoing Engineering
Continuous development for teams that ship fast and need a senior builder on call.
Post-launch products that need iteration, new features, and infrastructure work.
- Dedicated senior developer
- New features and iterations
- Performance and infrastructure
- Async updates via Slack or Email
Data Pipelines & Scraping
Get the data you need on a schedule, cleaned and structured, without anyone copying and pasting it by hand.
Teams whose decisions depend on data trapped in other people's websites, portals, or systems.
- Custom scrapers for single or multiple sources
- Scheduled runs with retries and alerting
- Deduplication, normalization, and enrichment
- Delivered to a database, dashboard, or API
AI Feature Integration
Add practical AI capabilities to your product when they support the experience, not just the pitch.
Products that benefit from copilots, assistants, content generation, or intelligent workflows.
- Model selection and prompt engineering
- API integration and guardrails
- UI for AI-powered features
- Cost optimization and monitoring

Month to month
Common requests
Most work lands in one of the tiers above. Here is where the usual requests fit.
Custom scrapers
One stable source, scheduled and monitored
Data pipelines
Multiple sources, deduplicated and enriched
Business automations
Kill the manual process that eats hours every week
API & system integrations
Make two systems that don't talk to each other talk
Dashboards & reporting
See your numbers without digging through spreadsheets
AI features
Copilots, extraction, classification, and generation
Scraper maintenance
Sites change and scrapers break. Breakage fixes, monitoring, and the infra that keeps data flowing.
Every number here is a starting point, not a quote. Scope drives price, so I confirm feasibility before committing to one. You own the code and the infrastructure outright.
I started MathersLabs to give businesses the kind of partner I always wanted: someone who can shape the product, build the experience, and ship the full stack under real deadlines.
