Full Stack Storage

Controlled launch hardening

I am the founder and product engineer behind Full Stack Storage, software that brings rental agreements, payments, and customer account tasks into the records staff use to run a self-storage facility.

Business status

Currently in controlled launch hardening. Presented here as engineering proof, not as a customer-traction claim.

Engineering scope

01

Go application services, scheduled work, and durable background processing

02

Multi-tenant PostgreSQL architecture, Row-Level Security, authentication, and authorization

03

Next.js and React interfaces for operators, customers, and tenants

04

Payments, billing, reconciliation, and refunds using processor-hosted payment components that keep raw card data outside Full Stack Storage and facility systems

Core stack

  • Go
  • Next.js
  • PostgreSQL
  • TypeScript
  • Linux

Infrastructure

  • Vultr
Full Stack Storage spans operator workflows, online rentals, tenant accounts, payments, billing, and financial records across one multi-tenant platform.

System shape

One multi-tenant platform. Three product experiences. One shared core.

Commercial and engineering history

Additional engineering proof

Some earlier systems were built for private businesses, so I describe their engineering scope without publishing client code, data, or proprietary screenshots.

Reusable commercial system

Reusable API-backed website application layer

Built a reusable Lit / TypeScript / PHP application layer around a third-party API for independently hosted websites, including WordPress and Squarespace environments.

The engagement

How projects work.

Start with the problem, define one useful phase, deliver it, then decide whether continuing makes sense.

  1. Fit

    Start with a free fit review to discuss the problem, desired outcome, required access, schedule, and whether Featherply is a sensible fit.

  2. Understand the work

    Start with a free fit review. Clear requirements receive a fixed quote directly. If important questions need investigation, agree on a small planning phase at a price of no more than $500 USD before it begins.

  3. Define the first phase

    Agree on deliverables, acceptance criteria, scope, and fixed price.

  4. Build and verify

    Implement and verify the agreed capability, put it into use, and complete the agreed documentation and handover.

  5. Continue or conclude

    Define the next useful phase, or conclude cleanly.

Material new requirements or dependencies are handled through a separately approved change or later phase.

Ways to work together

Working arrangements

Engineering safeguards

Modern tools. Accountable engineering.

My workflow is AI-augmented across investigation, implementation, testing, debugging, and documentation. I remain responsible for architecture, integration, verification, confidentiality boundaries, and the delivered result.

Projects that prohibit AI-assisted development entirely are generally not a fit.

How this works in practice Verification, confidentiality, and project safeguards.

Engineering responsibility

Generated output is investigated, integrated, tested, and reviewed rather than accepted because it compiles or looks plausible.

Project boundaries and tooling

Confidentiality, source-code, data-handling, and tooling restrictions are agreed before access. Project-specific, dedicated, or client-controlled tooling can be used where required; standard tooling is included where applicable.

Start a conversation

Let’s discuss your project.

You do not need a finished specification. Tell me what you think the software needs to do, what exists today, and where the process is still manual or incomplete. If the project depends on other software or data sources, include those too.

  • Your initial fit review is free. I normally reply within two business days.
  • No paid work starts until its scope and price are agreed and you explicitly approve it.
