I'm Anthony Garcia. Through Garlab I design, build, and maintain web applications, data pipelines, and integrations for startups and established teams. Engagements range from a single integration to a complete product build.
Four ways I work with teams, from a few days of advice to building and running a system end to end. Most engagements combine more than one.
I build web applications and backend APIs from first prototype to production: user interfaces, server-side logic, databases, authentication, and deployment. You get maintainable code and documentation you can hand to another developer.
Architecture and code reviews, technology selection, and delivery audits. I assess what you have, document the risks and options, and give clear recommendations you can act on.
Data pipelines, third-party API integrations, and cloud infrastructure. This covers ETL and scheduled jobs, serverless and edge functions, and connecting systems such as payment, CRM, and email providers.
I join your engineering team on a day-rate basis to add senior capacity: building roadmap features, reviewing pull requests, mentoring developers, and helping move a stalled project forward.
The tools I reach for most. I'm comfortable picking the right one for each job rather than forcing a favourite.
Garlab is the independent software consultancy of Anthony Garcia, a software engineer focused on reliable, maintainable systems.
I've spent my career building and running software in production, with real users and real data. That experience shapes how I work: simple designs, clear ownership, thorough testing, and code the next developer can read and maintain.
Garlab provides full-stack development, technical consultancy, data and platform engineering, and contract support. On each engagement I work directly with you, from scoping the work and writing the code to deploying it and handing over documentation. Engagements run from a few days of advisory work to multi-month builds.
Tell me a bit about what you're working on and what you need. I read every message and usually reply within a working day.
