Making technology work better for your business.

I'm Teon Ooi, also known as Teonator. I help small and growing businesses build applications, improve older systems and make everyday work easier.

Whether it's an old system that's hard to change, tools that don't talk to each other, or an idea you want to test, I help you understand the options and get the work done.

Which of these sounds like your business?

Here are some situations I can help with.

  • “We need a website or app, but don't know where to start.”

    You have a business need or an idea, but need someone to turn it into a clear plan.

  • “Our old system still runs the business, but changing anything is difficult.”

    Your application is outdated, slow or increasingly difficult to maintain.

  • “We keep entering the same information in different places.”

    Your staff copy details between spreadsheets, websites and business tools, then spend more time checking whether everything matches.

  • “Our conversations, emails and chats are scattered across too many apps.”

    Customer messages arrive by email and different chat apps, and your team has to check each one separately.

  • “We're not sure our website is secure, or when our domain and hosting expire.”

    Nobody is in charge of updates, renewals and settings, so problems only show up when something stops working.

  • “We need a working demo before committing to a full build.”

    You have an idea, but a presentation alone makes it difficult to explain the experience.

  • “Software changes take too long, or break something else.”

    Small updates turn into long projects, and fixing one thing often causes a problem somewhere else.

  • “We want someone senior to check our technical decisions.”

    You have decisions to make about software, suppliers or costs, and want an experienced person to check them before you commit.

Next: who you'll work with

Hi, I'm Teon.

I've spent 20+ years in software engineering, combining hands-on development with technical leadership across web and iOS projects.

I co-founded one digital agency, worked in several others, and built SaaS and mobile app businesses. That experience helps me look at software from both the engineering and business sides.

I'm a Zend Certified Engineer and a Laravel Certified Developer, with a background in PHP, Laravel, native iOS and AWS.

You'll work directly with me. Depending on the project, I can build the solution, guide the technical work or help coordinate with your existing providers.

Outside client work, I enjoy building open-source software and exploring ideas in electronics. I like understanding how things work and finding ways to make them better.

Common questions

Is the first call really free?

Yes. The 20-minute call costs nothing and doesn't commit you to anything. If you want to go further, I'll explain the options and fees before any work starts.

Do I need to know what software or technology to use?

No. Start with the problem you want to solve. I can help assess your current setup and recommend a practical approach, including whether an existing tool would meet your needs.

Can you work with software built by another developer?

I can review the system and available documentation first, then advise on what can be maintained, improved or taken over.

Can I start with a small project?

Yes. We can begin with a focused review or a specific improvement and decide on further work from there.

Next: get in touch

I help engineering teams modernise legacy systems and infrastructure.

20+ years in software engineering and 100+ projects. Fractional and contract Tech Lead work for legacy codebases (such as PHP and Objective-C), cloud migrations, payment infrastructure, and engineering teams that have outgrown their process.
