Product & Systems Engineer
I build the software your business runs on.
Backend, AI and infrastructure. Idea to production.
I help founders and small teams turn an idea into working software.Since 2020 I've built, launched and supported products from just an idea.Most recently, at a UK startup, I built multi-tenant products, AI workflows and data pipelines, and cut a critical request from two minutes to ten seconds.

Whatever you need built, from the first idea to the system that runs your business.
