About

I'm a London-based freelance developer. I build websites, web apps and automations for small businesses and organisations. You deal with me directly from the first call to launch, and I explain everything in plain English.

What I do

What I can build for you.

Web applications

Full-stack sites and apps with forms, accounts, dashboards and admin panels, built to be used every day.

AI features

AI built into a product where it earns its place: matching, scoring, checking and summarising.

Workflow automation

n8n workflows that take over repetitive work such as lead handling, follow-ups and internal handoffs.

Support & fixes

Fixing what's broken on an existing site and keeping it running. On AYATEI I found and fixed four critical bugs before launch (forms, language fallbacks, admin access and payments) and talked the client through each one in plain English.

Selected work

Three recent builds.

How I build

Habits you can check in the work.

I audit my own work

On AYATEI the site looked finished. An end-to-end review found forms that never reached the server and languages that fell back to English. I rebuilt them, took package vulnerabilities from 7 to 0 and cut assets from 39 MB to 19 MB.

AI explains, rules decide

In PULSE fixed rules own the risk score. The model only explains it and suggests actions, grounded in the hotel's own procedures and past cases, with a rule-based fallback when the model call fails.

It still works when things fail

Selam Wellness runs its full flow from preset personas with no AI provider and no database, and I cut a fragile voice pipeline before the demo to keep it reliable.
