About Lila Fuches
We started Lila Fuches in 2019. The idea is simple: senior technical help that doesn't arrive with the overhead of a big consultancy, or vanish behind a junior team once the contract is signed.
It's a partnership of technical leadership and operational care. Steve does the engineering, the writing and the teaching. Amy makes sure every engagement runs the way it should, from the first call to the last invoice.
01 The founders
Co-founder, technical lead
Steve has spent more than fifteen years in engineering, as a CTO, an engineering manager, and a fractional CTO through more than one acquisition. He's known in the Laravel community and the API space for writing and teaching, and he does the technical work on every engagement himself.
Co-founder, operations lead
Amy runs how the work actually gets done: scoping, scheduling, keeping everyone informed, and making sure a project ends with the client better off than when it started. She's the reason senior-level help from us stays approachable and affordable.
02 How we work
The people you speak to before the contract are the people who do the work after it. There's no hand-off to someone junior once it's signed.
We design for the team you'll have in two years, not just the code you need this quarter, and we leave things in a state your own people can carry on with.
No jargon for the sake of it. You'll get honest, actionable advice and status updates you can forward to someone non-technical without translating them first.
A lot of what we recommend comes from years spent inside the Laravel and API communities, writing, teaching and building alongside the people who make the tools.
Start with a free fifteen-minute call. If we're not the right fit, we'll say so, and we'll usually know someone who is.
