Real-world engagements this covers
A typical Ireland brief
A Dublin SaaS team building the mobile companion to a US-headquartered product, with SOC 2-conscious auth and logging.
One owner for product + API
Frontend, backend, database, and deployment under one accountable senior engineer — no coordination tax, no 'that's the other vendor's bug'.
SaaS build end to end
Auth, subscriptions (Stripe), admin panel, emails, and the product itself — the standard SaaS chassis, shipped and documented.
Platform modernisation
An ageing stack held together by fear. I stabilise, add tests, and migrate piece by piece while the business keeps running.
What to look for in a full stack developer
- →Genuine depth on both sides — many 'full stack' CVs are one side plus tutorials
- →Database and API design you can review, not just UI polish
- →Deployment ownership: CI/CD, monitoring, incident stories
- →Communication that survives async — writing is the remote superpower

FAQ
How much does it cost to hire full stack developer in Ireland?
Senior engineers in Dublin typically earn €65K–95K — big-tech European HQs keep senior pay high. Irish agencies commonly quote €80–150/hr. Typical remote full stack developer projects with me run $35K–$200K depending on scope, billed in EUR or USD on fixed-scope milestones — you approve each milestone before it's built.
Do you work with clients in Ireland?
Yes. I work remotely with Ireland founders, product teams, and agencies — from Dublin to fully distributed teams. English-first communication, contracts via Upwork or a direct SOW.
How does the timezone difference work with Ireland?
Live overlap across your entire business day — roughly 9 AM to 5:30 PM Irish time. Weekly demos are scheduled in your hours, and async updates keep the thread moving between them.
How do contracts and invoicing work for IE companies?
Cross-border B2B invoicing with reverse-charge VAT — no Irish payroll or EOR required. Payment terms are milestone-based — no large upfront commitments.
Who owns the code and IP?
You do — completely. Work happens in your repositories where possible, IP assignment is written into the SOW, and there is no lock-in: everything is documented so any developer can take over.
Can you ship mobile, web, and AI together?
Yes. React Native + Next.js + Python (FastAPI) + RAG/AI agents under one senior owner — ideal when your Ireland team needs to ship mobile, web, and AI without coordinating multiple vendors.
What happens after launch?
Most clients keep a monthly care retainer: dependency updates, store submissions, monitoring, and a priority line for fixes and small features. You can also hand off entirely — the documentation is written for that.
