Software development

I build software that goes into production and stays there.

I am Brando Silva. I write the product, the payments, the admin panel and the server it runs on — and then I keep it running. Everything on this page is live right now; the screenshots come from the sites themselves.

What I do

Four ways this usually starts

Software products

An idea turned into something people can pay for: accounts, billing, an admin that your team can actually run, and the boring parts that decide whether it survives.

  • Authentication, roles and audit trails
  • Stripe billing, invoices and renewals
  • An admin panel built for the people who use it

Websites and storefronts

From a landing that loads on a bad connection to a full store with payments, stock and delivery. Designed, built and deployed, not handed over as a template.

  • Design that is not a bought theme
  • Real SEO, real Core Web Vitals
  • Bilingual from the first line

APIs and integrations

Making two systems that were never meant to talk agree with each other — payment gateways, game panels, CRMs, whatever you already pay for.

  • REST APIs with versioning and rate limits
  • Webhooks that survive a retry
  • Migrations off a platform you have outgrown

Deployment and infrastructure

It is not finished until it is running, backed up and monitored. Docker, tunnels, TLS, backups and a way to know when something breaks before your customers tell you.

  • Containerised, reproducible deploys
  • Backups that have been restored at least once
  • Uptime monitoring and alerts

How I work

The part you cannot see from a screenshot

Clean and modular, because you will change your mind

Small pieces with one job each, named in plain English. The month you ask for something the plan never had, that is what decides whether it takes an afternoon or a rewrite.

Modern, but not for the sake of it

TypeScript everywhere, current framework versions, and a boring database. I pick what will still be maintained in three years over what is trending this quarter.

Security is the default, not a phase

Hashed passwords, two-factor, rate limits, audit trails, secrets outside the repository, and money that only moves inside a transaction. I have taken apart my own systems looking for the hole before somebody else did.

AI in the loop, never in charge

I use AI the way any engineer uses a good tool: to go faster on the parts that are already understood. It does not choose the architecture, it does not skip the review, and nothing ships that I could not have written by hand.

About me

Brando Silva

I am a self-taught developer from Venezuela. I started building game-server communities, which is the fastest way to learn that software is not finished when it works on your machine — it is finished when strangers are paying for it and it holds. Today I run my own hosting platform and build products for clients across e-commerce, health, events and logistics.

How it works

What happens after you press send

No forms to chase and no discovery call before anyone has said a number. Four steps, and you can stop after the second one at no cost.

  1. 01

    You write

    A paragraph about what you want. If you already have something running, tell me what it is and what annoys you about it.

  2. 02

    I answer with a number

    Within two working days: what I would build, what it would cost, and how long it would take. Fixed price, not an hourly guess.

  3. 03

    We build it in the open

    You see it working as it grows, on a real URL, not in a slide. You change your mind while changing your mind is still cheap.

  4. 04

    You get the keys

    Source code, the database, the deployment and a document that explains it. It runs on your accounts, and you are never locked in to me.

Tell me what you want to build

Describe it in your own words — a paragraph is plenty. I answer with what it would take, what it would cost and how long it would run.
