Bespoke software · Made to measure
I'm a local solution architect and software engineer with a passion for helping independent businesses automate tedious tasks and better organise their workload with technology.
Unlike the corporate giants, I offer direct customer service — and in-person meetings, when they help. From design to finished product in a matter of days, not months.
The fit
No account managers, no ticket queues — you talk to the person building it.
In-person meetings, wherever that's useful to get the details right.
Zero upfront cost — just a monthly rate scaled to your business, once it's live and working for you.
Recent work
Product · Salons & bars
The problem: independent salons and bars were tracking stock on paper, or not tracking it at all — until something ran out mid-appointment.
What I built: a chat-based inventory system. Snap a photo of an invoice, send a voice note, or just type a message — stock updates itself. No app to learn.
Client project · Wellness clinic
The problem: paying for an all-purpose booking platform to do one job — get practitioners into treatment rooms without a clash.
What I built: a purpose-built scheduling tool for staff — room and practitioner calendars, with a live conflict check that won't let two people book the same room.
About
I'm a solution architect and cloud engineer with a passion for building bespoke software using cutting-edge technology.
Before moving into IT, I spent years in sales — and that taught me to see the bigger picture: to look past the immediate ask and find the strategy that actually wins. I bring that same instinct to how I design software, turning the fiddly, time-consuming parts of running an independent business into something that just works.
Currently building for salons, wellness clinics, bars and trades businesses — happy to talk wherever you are.
