Services
What I build
Jira & Confluence integrations
Bridges between Atlassian and the rest of your stack — REST and webhook integrations, data migration, bulk operations and admin tooling that the standard UI can't reach.
Custom web applications
Standalone web apps tailored to a specific problem — internal tools, dashboards, importers and configurators, designed to be a pleasure to use and simple to maintain.
AI-accelerated delivery
Advanced AI techniques compress the path from idea to working software. Most applications ship within days — complexity permitting — without cutting corners on quality.
Approach
Senior judgement, modern speed
Two things rarely come together: the experience to know what to build, and the velocity to build it quickly. kraak.pt offers both.
-
Experience from the start
I have worked with the Atlassian tools since their very first releases — I know how Jira and Confluence behave, where they bend, and where they break.
-
Days, not quarters
By pairing that experience with advanced AI techniques, focused applications are delivered in days. You see working software early and often.
-
Built to last
Fast does not mean fragile. Apps are built on the platform's own conventions, so they keep working as Atlassian evolves.
-
One point of contact
You work directly with the person building your software — no layers, no handovers, no lost context.
Work
The kind of work I take on
Client work stays confidential, so instead of a product catalogue, here is the shape of it — the problems these applications are usually built to solve.
Apps inside Jira & Confluence
Native apps that live where the work already happens — global pages, issue panels, macros, custom field types and workflow extensions, built on Atlassian's own platform.
Integration & synchronisation
Bridges between Atlassian and the rest of the stack — ERP, CRM, HR and time-tracking systems — one-way or bidirectional, with clear delivery tracking when something fails.
Migration, import & bulk change
Moving data into, out of and between instances — imports from external planning and spreadsheet tools, field and configuration migrations, and bulk operations the standard UI can't reach. Always with a dry run first.
Dashboards & reporting
Views that answer a question the standard reports don't — adoption and usage, planning and progress, time tracking, data quality — with the history kept so trends stay visible.
Administration & governance
Tooling that makes large instances manageable — users, groups and permissions, configuration comparison, and admin tasks that would otherwise be a long afternoon of clicking.
Standalone web applications
When the answer isn't an Atlassian app at all — an internal tool, a configurator, a portal or a dashboard, built to be a pleasure to use and simple to maintain.
Examples on request. Concrete cases — what was built, for which situation, and what it delivered — are shared on request, within what confidentiality agreements allow.

About
kraak.pt
kraak.pt is an independent practice for custom web application development, with a specialisation in the Atlassian platform. I have followed Jira and Confluence since their first releases, and I have spent the years since building the tools, integrations and apps that teams reach for when the out-of-the-box product isn't quite enough.
Today, advanced AI techniques let me deliver that same calibre of work in a fraction of the time. The result is software that feels considered and durable — arriving in days.
