Remote full-stack developer for Ireland
Irish companies are competing with Dublin multinationals for the same senior engineers, and a permanent hire can take months to close. I plug in as a remote senior full-stack developer, PHP/Laravel, JavaScript/Vue, WordPress/WooCommerce, and infrastructure, so your team gets capacity in weeks, not a quarter.
A good fit for Irish product and agency teams that need a senior engineer now: to cover a gap, take on a backlog, or extend the team without opening a permanent headcount request.
Dublin multinationals set the salary floor and the timeline. A permanent senior search can run three to six months before someone signs. A remote contractor starts in weeks and can be scaled down once the gap is closed.
Feature backlog, technical debt, or a stalled migration need someone who can own the code, not a ticket-taker who needs supervision. I work directly with your existing team and lead, not around them.
Agency retainers add account management overhead and rotate junior developers behind a senior sales pitch. Hiring one senior engineer directly is cheaper and the person doing the work is the person you talked to.
Full-stack work spans Laravel APIs, Vue front ends, WordPress or WooCommerce, and the infrastructure underneath. Splitting that across three specialists slows delivery and multiplies handoffs.
Some projects are finite, seasonal, or uncertain in scope. Locking in a permanent salary and Irish employment obligations does not fit a six-month build or a project with an unclear end date.
Hiring is a two-way risk. A short paid trial sprint lets your team and me confirm the working relationship before either side commits to a longer engagement.
PHP and Laravel APIs, Vue and JavaScript front ends, WordPress and WooCommerce, plus the server and deployment infrastructure that keeps it all running.
I work in your repository, your ticket tracker, and your stand-ups, alongside your engineers, not as an outsourced black box handing back finished tickets.
Scale from a day-rate engagement to a monthly retainer as the work changes, without a permanent contract, notice period, or Irish employment overhead.
I invoice as a business based in Spain to a business in Ireland, both inside the EU. No work permit, no sponsorship process, no immigration paperwork on either side.
Spain is one hour ahead of Ireland, so the working day overlaps almost completely. Stand-ups, pairing sessions, and same-day responses work the way they would with someone down the hall.
You get a clear next step and cost before committing to anything beyond it, whether that is a single trial sprint or an ongoing monthly engagement.
We talk through your stack, the gap you need filled, and whether a day rate, a monthly engagement, or a fixed-scope project fits best.
For a new relationship, a short paid trial sprint confirms the fit before any longer commitment. For known work, we agree a fixed scope and price upfront.
I work inside your repository and process: code review, your ticket tracker, and your team's existing standards, not a separate workflow bolted on the side.
Move between a monthly engagement and day-rate work as your needs change, or wind down cleanly with documentation handed over. No long notice period locks you in.

Your site is slow, updates break things, or customers cannot complete checkout. I find the real cause, fix the critical path, and leave you with a site your team can safely operate.
Turn a product idea or an unfinished platform into software people can actually use and pay for — including subscriptions, onboarding, dashboards, integrations, and reliable releases.
Reduce repetitive work with focused tools and workflows: process documents, prepare answers, connect systems, or give your team faster access to internal knowledge.
Keep the business running while an old PHP, Laravel, or WordPress system is made safer and easier to change. Improvements are delivered in controlled steps, not as a risky big-bang rewrite.
For businesses that need someone to know the system and take care of it every month: updates, monitoring, fixes, and small improvements without briefing a new contractor each time.

I work fully remotely from Spain. Spain is one hour ahead of Ireland, so our working days overlap almost completely: stand-ups, pairing, and same-day replies work the same way they would with someone in your own office.
A permanent senior hire in the Dublin market carries salary, employer costs, benefits, and recruitment fees on top, plus a multi-month search. A day rate or monthly engagement gets senior capacity working within weeks, without the fixed long-term cost or the notice period if your needs change.
Spain and Ireland are both in the EU, so there is no work permit, visa, or sponsorship process. I invoice your business as a self-employed professional running my own studio, and you handle it like any other EU supplier invoice, no different from contracting a company based in another EU country.
I work inside your existing repository, ticket tracker, and code review process, alongside your engineers rather than as a separate outsourced unit. The goal is that a new team member barely notices I am not sitting in the same office.
Yes, that is exactly what the trial sprint is for. It is real, paid work on your actual codebase, not a take-home exercise, and either side can decide not to continue afterward with no hard feelings.
There is no long lock-in. Day-rate and monthly engagements can be scaled down or paused with short notice, since the point of this arrangement is flexibility that a permanent hire cannot offer.
Share your stack, the scope of the work, and the kind of engagement you are considering. I read every message and reply personally, usually within one business day.
