Custom software that solves the real problems in your operation

Custom software development

I build what your operation needs and doesn't exist yet, whether it's an Application, an API or a complete Product. One point of contact end to end and a quote you can defend.

What I build

Software built around your operation, not a generic product everyone has to bend to. Here is what you can ask me for.

Custom web apps

  • Internal dashboards that surface what lives in spreadsheets today
  • Customer or supplier portals with their own access
  • Tools that automate the part of the process you still do by hand
  • Lightweight ERP when no off-the-shelf product fits your operation

Integrations & APIs

  • Connecting ERP, CRM and payment gateways so you stop copying data
  • Your own APIs so your systems or your clients can consume your data
  • Automatic syncs between tools that do not talk to each other today
  • Data migrations without losing history along the way

Product from scratch

  • MVP with fixed scope to validate your idea without burning the round
  • SaaS product with subscriptions and a base ready to grow
  • Architecture and deployment built for the day after launch
  • Product evolution once you have real users

What you gain when the software fits your business

Software stops being a toll and becomes an advantage

Custom does not mean expensive or endless. It means what gets built answers to how you actually work.

  • You stop copying data by hand

    Your systems talk to each other. No more exporting from one to paste into another and dragging errors along the way.

  • Your team works at its pace, not the software’s

    Tools built around your real workflow, not a generic product everyone has to bend to.

  • Software stops being the bottleneck

    Built to handle your growth, not to be rewritten from scratch a year from now.

  • You talk to the person who codes

    One point of contact end to end. No layers of salespeople or broken telephone between you and the code.

How I work

01

Diagnosis

I understand the business problem before writing a line. The most profitable hour is the one that avoids building what wasn't needed.

02

Proposal & quote

Scope in writing and an itemized quote. What's in, what's out and how changes are handled. No surprises.

03

Solution design

Architecture and technical decisions made to last, not to get by. Explained in your language, not in jargon.

04

Iterative development

Frequent deliveries you can see and try. No disappearing for three months and showing up with the wrong thing.

05

Handover

You get the source code, documentation and a clean go-live. The project is yours, and so is the know-how.

06

Support & evolution

Maintenance and improvements when you need them. I stick around when the software has to grow with you.

Start with the diagnosis

What you get and what you have to take on

Custom development is neither free nor instant. Here are both sides before you sign anything, so you decide with the numbers in front of you.

What you have to take on

  • A bigger upfront investment than paying a monthly SaaS licence
  • Weeks or months until the first version is in production, not a five-minute signup
  • Time from your team during the diagnosis, because nobody knows your process better than you do
  • A maintenance and evolution cost you have to budget for from day one

What you get

  • The software fits your process instead of forcing you to change it
  • The code is yours, documented and with no hidden dependencies
  • You stop paying per-seat licences that grow every time you hire someone
  • You integrate with what you already have instead of staying inside what a closed product allows
  • You prioritise what you need, not what sits on another company’s roadmap
  • What you build is yours and becomes part of what sets you apart

Custom, SaaS or no-code?

You don't always need custom software, and I'll tell you straight before you spend a cent. Here is how I decide.

When it makes sense

Off-the-shelf SaaS

If your process is standard and a product already covers it, buy it. It's cheaper, faster and you don't need anyone to build anything.

When it makes sense

No-code

If you just want to validate an idea fast or set up a simple internal flow that isn't your competitive edge, a no-code tool is more than enough.

This is where I come in

Custom software

When your process is what sets you apart, no product fits, or integration between systems is your bottleneck. That’s where custom development pays for itself.

Has your software outgrown you, or are you missing the one you need?

Tell me about it

Who builds it

You talk to the engineer directly, not to a middleman

I'm Miguel Ángel (Miguelo), a software engineer. For years I've built web apps, backends and integrations for startups and businesses that needed their software to stop getting in the way and start helping.

I work solo or coordinating a small team depending on the project, but your point of contact is always me. That means fast decisions, no broken telephone, and someone who answers for the code end to end.

Testimonials

What people who've worked with me say

Founders and technical teams that trusted me with their custom software and infrastructure.

“Since it went live I get more and better projects.”

“We needed fast internal tools with Web3, and Miguelo built them in a couple of weeks. He left us a component base we keep building on faster.”

“We had Iniesta's entire campaign locked in and development hanging just a week before launch. Miguelo came in against the clock, prioritized what mattered and we shipped on time. We sold out the collection on day one.”

“What kept me up at night was surviving the traffic spike Iniesta would bring. The platform didn't go down for a second, and minting and payments ran without a single incident.”

“Miguelo came in for the final stretch and closed what was left: payments and search. It launched on time and today runs fast and friction-free.”

“I wanted a beautiful site I could manage myself, and Miguelo nailed it. Years later it's still blazing fast, and after the rebrand I barely pay to maintain it.”

“I had the idea clear and Miguelo turned it into a product. We iterated the features together and shipped a solid MVP, with both panels and the CRM working. It felt like having a technical partner, not just a developer.”

Common questions

Questions about custom software development

What people ask me before starting a project, answered straight.

  • How much does custom software cost?

    It depends on scope, but a serious quote is always itemized. On the discovery call I give you a range you can defend and the variables that move it.

  • How long does a project take?

    A scoped MVP can be ready in weeks and a full system in months. In the proposal I give you milestone deadlines so you see real progress, not a single date at the end.

  • What if requirements change midway?

    They usually do. That’s why I work in iterations and make it clear from the quote how a scope change is handled, what impact it has on time and price, decided with you and not behind your back.

  • Who owns the code when the project ends?

    You do. You get the source code and documentation. No hidden dependencies, no vendor lock-in.

  • Do you offer maintenance after delivery?

    Yes. I can handle maintenance and evolution, or leave the project documented for your team to continue. You choose the model.

  • Do you work hourly or fixed-price?

    For well-defined scope, fixed price for predictability. For exploratory work or maintenance, hourly. I propose the model that suits you.

  • What technologies do you work with?

    Mostly the web and API ecosystem (TypeScript, Node, React/Astro, SQL databases) and the cloud. I pick the tool for the problem, not the other way around.

  • Do you work remotely and with businesses outside Spain?

    Yes. I work remotely as a rule and collaborate with clients in different countries. Distance has never been the problem.

  • Do you sign an NDA?

    No problem. If your project requires it, we sign an NDA before getting into detail.
