• Built and launched a solo technical consultancy serving small businesses and entrepreneurs, delivering bespoke websites, web applications, workflow automation and code rescue services.
• Rescued AI-generated and orphaned codebases for non-technical business owners, enabling my clients to regain confidence and control over their own systems.

• Delivered website performance and analytics audits & implementations, giving clients clear, actionable data to inform business decisions.

• Crafted a greenfield SaaS with Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind & Storybook as part of a Scrum team, deployed with Vercel. This empowered the company to package services to a range of new customer types.
• Created a "Service Status" utility with data from AWS CloudWatch, deployed as an AWS Lambda, written in Go, React, TypeScript & Tailwind. This reduced the volume of support tickets and technical enquiries.
• Built an AI virtual assistant platform leveraging Go & AWS Bedrock, integrating Claude to deliver context-rich customer interactions.
• Created a fully-documented REST API using PHP (Slim), PostgreSQL & deployed via AWS to enable customers to share user generated content with their colleagues within the company's applications.
