Software Engineer · Full-Stack Developer

I build software that's solid underneath and a pleasure to use.

Full-stack developer with 3 years shipping SaaS products for UK edtech clients, most recently an AI-powered platform for schools. I'm happiest in the backend, designing the data models, APIs and scalable, reliable systems everything else depends on, and I'm just as picky about how a product looks and feels.

Engineering, amplified by AI

How AI fits into my workflow — and where it does not.

AI is part of how I work every day and a core feature of the products I build. It makes me faster; it never replaces my judgment.

  1. 01RefineTurn fuzzy requirements into clear specs and edge cases before writing code.
  2. 02BuildImplement with coding agents under strict constraints, iterating fast without compromising the architecture or code quality.
  3. 03VerifyAI drafts; I decide. Every change is reviewed, understood and covered by automated tests before it ships.
  4. 04Design for failureTimeouts, retries and fallbacks so AI features degrade gracefully when a model is slow or unavailable, without breaking the product.
  5. 05Ship AI featuresLLM features in production through AWS Bedrock and OpenRouter, with privacy by design: anonymity safeguards and every action traceable.
  6. 06Measure & refineEvaluate the accuracy and cost of AI features on real data, and refine prompts and models to reduce manual review.
