◇ Full-stack engineer — London
Three years building production apps with FastAPI, React/Next.js, PostgreSQL and LLM APIs — backend fundamentals through to a deployed URL, without a team to hand off to.
System shape
01 — Selected work
Two with full case studies. Every link here goes to a live demo or the source — nothing that 404s.
Case study
Generic online courses don't adapt to where a learner actually is.
A learning platform where Claude generates the curriculum and quizzes, mastery updates from quiz performance, and a realtime AI tutor answers over WebSocket.
Key decision
Quiz submissions update an exponential-moving-average mastery score per topic, so the next content targets weak spots instead of starting over.
Case study
People on UK visas need to keep their status and the documents that prove it in one reliable place.
A UK visa tracker on Next.js and Supabase — sign-in, document storage, and status tracking in one app.
Key decision
One managed backend: Supabase provides auth, Postgres and document storage, so there are no separate services to run or secure for a solo-built product.
Also shipped
Keeping an AI persona visually consistent across many generated images is hard.
Image generation runs as Celery/Redis background jobs writing to S3-compatible storage, so the UI stays responsive during slow generations.
Formatting academic references by hand is slow and error-prone.
Fully client-side with history persisted locally: zero backend, instant results, and free to run.
02 — How I work
Schema and API through to a deployed URL, done myself. The projects above are solo builds, not team hand-offs.
I work with Claude Code daily and build my own agent tools — like an LLM job pipeline that scrapes, scores with the Claude API, and automates applications with Playwright.
autoapply-agentTyped APIs, Postgres schema design, background jobs and auth before UI polish — like the Celery/Redis job pipeline behind AI Influencer Generator.
03 — About
I build complete products end to end — the API, the database, the frontend, and the deploy. I care most about the parts that decide whether software actually works in production: data modelling, background jobs, auth, and clear failure modes.
I've worked at Pagoda Labs and We Media and hold an MSc in Software Engineering. My current focus is AI-forward products — building with FastAPI, React/Next.js and the Claude API.

Hiring for a role
Full-time or contract. The fastest read on how I work is the case studies above, then my CV.
