I'm Hernane Cadigal.
I run Cadigal Tech — a one-person studio helping small businesses scale online. I design, build, ship, and stick around to keep it healthy.
PORTRAIT · HERNANE CADIGAL Operator, not agency.
I've worked inside agencies and on freelance benches. The pattern was always the same: the senior person who actually solves the problem disappears after kickoff, and the work drifts.
Cadigal Tech is the opposite of that. One person on the brief, the build, and the bug fix at 11pm two months later. Smaller throughput, sharper outcomes, and a phone number that always reaches the same human.
Predictable rhythm.
Same cadence on every engagement — small enough to move fast, structured enough to not lose the plot.
Brief in days
We scope the problem, agree on a target, and shape a working plan inside a week.
Prototype quickly
A clickable, code-backed prototype before anyone signs off on detailed specs.
Ship hardened
Production code with tests, telemetry, and a clear path your team can own.
Stay around
Optional retainer for maintenance, content updates, and the small things that pile up.
