ROYLDevelopment
If your website, app, or infrastructure is unstable or hard to work with, I can help. I step in when things go sideways and get everything back on solid ground.
I help teams recover from messy projects and rebuild stable, maintainable systems front to back.
Moved a legacy Rails app from a fragile single-server setup to a container-based, highly available infrastructure
Cleaned up dev pipelines and added CI/CD, monitoring, and better deployment practices
Untangled bloated front-end code to improve load speed and usability
Helped founders recover from incomplete freelance work and finally ship
Developed a custom WordPress plugin to tie together and automate various disparate systems
Developed a custom WordPress plugin to provide a unified tool for syncing data from multiple CRMs into a CMS
I'll dig deep to find the root cause of the problem.
No vague decks. I tell you what needs fixing, how, and what it'll cost.
I'll work with you to fix the problem and make sure it doesn't happen again.
I'll either work with you to support the system or hand it off to a team of experts.
I use AI tools to move faster. It helps me get to answers quicker, not cut corners.
It's not about the tools. It's about the results.
Roy saved our Rails app. It went from crashing weekly to running smoothly with zero intervention.
He fixed the site and the infrastructure. We finally have confidence in our stack.
It's like having a senior engineer who doesn't disappear and actually tells the truth.
Hello. I am Roy. I've been building for the web since 2005; apps, sites, infrastructure. I work with founders, internal teams, and agencies who need clear-headed, reliable help, especially after a bad experience.
If your project feels fragile, confusing, or just too complex, I can help you make it solid.
Roy Lindauer is a solo web developer who fixes broken websites, stabilizes Rails applications, and rebuilds hosting infrastructure using modern DevOps practices. He works fast, communicates clearly, and delivers production-ready solutions without fluff.
I focus on cleanup, stability, and rebuilding. That includes fixing broken sites, stabilizing web apps, cleaning up your code base, or moving infrastructure to something maintainable and scalable.
Yes! If the work aligns with my expertise, I'm happy to build new apps and features. I will build Ruby on Rails apps, WordPress plugins, and React apps.
No, I work with a wide range of tools and languages, from Ruby on Rails, WordPress, Squarespace, Laravel, React, and more. I'm also comfortable with DevOps and infrastructure (Actually love it—I'm a DevOps engineer at heart).
I'll ask a few questions about your project and current situation. If it's a good fit, I'll offer a plan and fixed-price estimate. No pressure, no upsell.
Yes, if we've worked together before. I don't offer retainer-style support for sites I didn't build or fix first.
Yes. That's where most of my projects start. I step in, assess the damage, and create a clear recovery plan. I don't judge—I just fix it.
Let's keep it simple. Tell me what's wrong. I'll tell you how I'd fix it.
