👋 Hi, I am Stefan Ianache,

Freelance full-stack developer turning real business needs into smart digital solutions

I am a WordPress Expert certified by Codeable with a passion for building web applications using React (Next.js) and cross-platform mobile applications using React Native.

I’m always open to hearing about meaningful projects, especially those where I can contribute as a full-stack developer or to bring in my business analysis expertise as a consultant. If you’re working on something interesting and would benefit from a collaborative partner who understands both code and business, feel free to reach out.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

5-Star Experiences from business owners who value results, just like you

Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with amazing clients through Codeable — and I’m proud to hold a 5/5 star rating with a 100% satisfaction rate. I believe in listening, solving the right problems, and building digital tools that actually help businesses grow.

Here’s how past clients have described their experience:

Since I’ve been affiliated with Giffy, I’ve had the pleasure of working with Stefan in a constructive and enjoyable manner. Beyond being a skilled developer, he is an excellent collaborator, boasting tremendous communication skills (English level C1-2), reliability in his commitments, and moreover, he is a genuinely nice person. He collaborates with us remotely from his office in Romania, yet he has always been one of the guys. If you require expertise and commitment for a WooCommerce or related project, I wholeheartedly recommend Stefan.

We absolutely love working with Stefan. We have used him for multiple projects and have developed a trust in his expertise, communications and leading us through some complex custom plug-in development.

Stefan is by far the BEST WordPress Developer I've worked with, I've been through multiple WP Developers but Stefan is a true expert and professional, asking the right questions and really understanding what you're trying to accomplish. ALWAYS coming up with solutions, and great ones at that. What I love about Stefan is if he thinks you're going to do something wrong he will challenge you as opposed to billing you and you finding out later. If you're not technical, you will be hard pressed to find a better developer to work with, his morals, values and ethics are a testament to him.

Stefan is a joy to work with, highly skilled, and conducts himself extremely professionally on all levels. He is an excellent communicator and brings together additional talent to create unstoppable teams. I look forward to continuing to work with Stefan on many different projects!

ABOUT MY WORK

11+ years experience as a developer & digital business consultant

I take time to understand how your business works — what drives it, where it struggles, and what success looks like for you. By combining business analysis with custom full-stack development, I deliver tailored digital solutions that solve real problems and support sustainable growth

Depending on your needs, that might mean a custom WordPress website, a web application built with React (Next.js), or a cross-platform mobile app developed with React Native — always designed to align with your business goals.

WordPress Development

I’ve been a WordPress and WooCommerce developer since 2015, building tailored digital solutions for businesses of all sizes. In 2020, I joined Codeable — a top platform that accepts only the top 2% of WordPress experts — where I’m proud to be a certified expert.

I specialize in crafting custom WordPress plugins, extending WooCommerce for unique eCommerce needs, and building business-focused websites that solve real-world problems.

Do you have a project within the WordPress ecosystem? Post your project with me on Codeable and get a free, no-obligation quote.

Full-stack Development

I’ve helped startups and growing businesses launch everything from custom web apps to internal tools.

When it comes to full-stack development, there’s no one-size-fits-all. I use React (Next.js) to build fast, user-friendly front-end experiences, and choose the back-end setup that makes the most sense for your business. That might be headless WordPress for content-heavy sites, Node.js for more complex applications, or another solution that fits your goals.

Mobile Development

More and more businesses are taking a dedicated mobile approach — and for good reason. With the rise in smartphone usage, having a mobile app isn't just a nice-to-have; it’s often the most direct way to reach and engage your audience.

I specialize in building cross-platform mobile applications using React Native, helping startups and growing businesses launch high-quality apps without the cost and complexity of developing separately for iOS and Android.

Thinking about building a mobile app? Let’s chat. Book a free 15-minute call and let’s explore the best way to bring your idea to life — efficiently, and with your business goals in mind.

Digital Business Constultant

ot every business needs to build software right away — and knowing when to invest in digitalization can make all the difference. As a Digital Business Consultant, I’ve worked with startups and growing companies to help them understand what they need, when they need it, and why it matters for their goals.

Sometimes that means recommending a custom digital solution; other times, it means advising to hold off until the timing makes more sense. My goal is to be on your side — offering honest, experience-backed guidance that aligns with your vision and resources.

Curious if now’s the right time to go digital? Let’s connect. Schedule a free 15-minute call to get to know each other and see what makes the most sense for your business.

BEHIND THE WORK

A collaborative approach that puts your business first

Every successful project begins with a clear, thoughtful process. Over the years, I’ve found that the best results come from working side-by-side with my clients. From discovery to long-term support, I follow a proven workflow that blends your business goals with clean web and mobile development.

Here's how I typically work with clients, every step of the way:

Step 1: Discovery & Deep Understanding

Every great project starts with a conversation. We’ll begin by diving into your business, your goals, and the challenges you’re facing. I’ll ask thoughtful questions and truly listen, so I can understand both the technical needs and the bigger business picture. If we’re the right match, I’ll outline a direction that’s tailored to your unique context.

Step 2: Strategic Planning

Once we’ve uncovered the “why” behind your project, we’ll move into planning the “how.” Whether you need a custom WordPress plugin, a scalable React (Next.js) application, or a cross-platform mobile app with React Native, this phase defines the roadmap. We’ll align on priorities, timelines, and key features—so we’re all set before development begins.

Step 3: Thoughtful Implementation

This is where your idea takes shape. Using clean, reliable, full-stack code, I build with best practices in mind: performance, security, and long-term scalability are always part of the plan. You’ll receive frequent progress updates and milestone check-ins, ensuring you stay involved and in control throughout the journey.

Step 4: Launch & Final Review

Before your project goes live, we’ll walk through it together to make sure every detail is on point. From rigorous testing to a polished handover, I’ll make sure your launch is smooth and stress-free. It’s not just about going live, it’s about delivering a reliable digital solution you feel confident in.

Step 5: Reliable Support & Ongoing Growth

Your business keeps growing, and your digital product should keep up. I offer maintenance and support packages to help you stay secure, up-to-date, and ready to scale. Whether it’s a quick update or the next big feature, I’m here to help your software grow with your goals.

GET TO KNOW ME BETTER

Thinking about partnering up? Here is what you might want to know first

Are you available for full-time positions?

I’m currently not available for full-time positions, as I’m committed to supporting my long-term clients. I always aim to give each project the focus it deserves, and that means I’m not taking on full-time roles at the moment. That said, feel free to reach out anyway. I’m part of a trusted network of professionals and might be able to connect you with someone who fits your needs. You can email me at contact@stefanianache.com.

Do you take on multiple projects at the same time?

I intentionally limit the number of projects I take on at any given time to ensure each client gets the attention and quality they deserve. My availability depends on current workload and project complexity, and I also offer ongoing support through maintenance subscription packages. You can always check my current availability at the top of the homepage. Right now, it’s marked as Limited, which means I may be able to take on just one or two more projects.

How do you structure your rates or pricing?

Every project is unique, and so is the way I approach pricing. Some projects might only need quick development tasks, while others require full-scale digital business consulting and implementation: from shaping the strategy and roadmap to implementation or even managing your existing development team, or acting as an external CTO for your business. Because of this, I don’t offer fixed pricing upfront. Instead, I prefer to understand the scope and goals first to provide an accurate estimate. That said, as a general guideline, my hourly rate typically ranges between $100 and $150 USD.

What values guide the way you work with clients?

In every project I take on, I bring with me the values I stand by: clear and open communication, honesty, and a commitment to building long-term, trustworthy relationships. I'm not here just to complete tasks and collect invoice. I genuinely care about creating meaningful partnerships where my clients feel supported, understood, and confident in the process.

Are you open to collaborate with other developers?

Absolutely! I’m always open to collaborating with other developers or internal teams. If you have an in-house development team but need someone who can bridge the gap between business and tech, I can step in as an external CTO or technical consultant. I’m comfortable representing your company in client or stakeholder meetings, helping translate technical decisions into real business value.

If you’re a fellow developer who could use a second set of experienced eyes on a project, don’t hesitate to reach out. I’d be happy to explore how I can support your work. You can get in touch at contact@stefanianache.com

How do you communicate during a project?

Clear, open communication is one of the core values I bring to every project. Over the years, I’ve seen how consistent, thoughtful communication can turn good collaborations into great ones and drive real business results.

You can expect weekly check-ins via short video calls or email updates to stay aligned on the project's progress. At the end of each milestone, we’ll schedule a review session to make sure everything is heading in the right direction and delivering the outcomes you’re aiming for.
