Hello, I'm Helbin Rapheal

I'm a CTO you can hire by the day, and a senior engineer your agency can hand work to without babysitting it.

I'm co-founder & CTO at @therapyway, where I lead a team of two developers and three interns building the UK's marketplace and clinic-management suite for independent therapists. Next.js, Supabase, AWS and secure video consultations, from architecture to roadmap. I'm also CTO & Strategic Technology Advisor at Shreyanshs CIC, a non-executive role covering architecture reviews and technical direction.

If you're a founder: I work as a fractional CTO (one to three days a week, seed to Series A), technical co-founder, or advisory CTO. I make the architecture decisions that determine whether you scale smoothly or rebuild in year two, and I stay hands-on in the code while doing it. Teams I've built systems for have seen 25-30% faster delivery and 25% fewer defects from the component libraries and review practices I put in place.

If you run an agency: I take overflow Next.js/TypeScript work, white-label, to the standard your clients paid you for. Marketing sites, multi-tenant SaaS dashboards, plus the awkward jobs: infrastructure rescue (DNS, SES/DKIM/SPF/DMARC, hosting migrations) and WordPress-to-modern-stack rebuilds.

Next.js and TypeScript are my daily tools, but the work doesn't stop there. With my team I build mobile apps and custom software end to end: Nest.js and Strapi on the backend, Python and FastAPI services, AWS infrastructure with GitHub Actions pipelines. I also help teams set up AI-assisted development workflows.

Recent work: the Therapyway marketplace and clinic app, Red CRM (lead and property management for a real estate firm that's been trading for 40 years), SoloTrader CRM (leads-to-invoice management for independent developers), and Location Square (a services marketplace with structured booking flows).
