About Me

Building things that last

I have been writing software for over seven years, working with teams in the United Kingdom, United States, UAE, and Pakistan. I care about two things most, building things that work well, and making sure the people using them have a good experience. These days I spend a lot of my time thinking about how AI fits into real products, not as a gimmick, but as something genuinely useful. Outside of client work, I build open source tools for developers and write about what I learn along the way. I enjoy working closely with product and design, because the best technical decisions usually come from understanding what the end user actually needs. That curiosity is what keeps the work interesting, no matter how many years in.

Walmart Realm

Walmart Realm

Contributed as a core developer on the team, building the UI from scratch using Chakra UI, integrating third-party games into the experience, and handling the full application deployment.

The Bicester Collection
ReactChakra UIKRPanoAWS

The Bicester Collection

Took the project from inception to production, building a responsive virtual shopping experience with React and Chakra UI from Figma designs. Integrated KRPano for the immersive 3D environment, added event tracking via Google Tag Manager, deployed on S3, managed CloudFront for delivery, and introduced gamification features to drive customer engagement.

The Process

How I Work

I follow the same three steps on every project, no matter the size. Plan it properly, build it cleanly, then make sure it holds up.

01Architect

Breaking down requirements into a clear technical plan, with AI strategy built in from day one.

02Build

Writing clean, maintainable code that ships fast. Frontend and backend built to work together, not bolted on after.

03Scale

Deploying with cloud infrastructure, catching regressions before they hit production, and optimising for real-world load.

What I Do

Services I Offer

Full-Stack Development

I build products end to end. React on the front, Node.js or Nest.js on the back, Next.js when it fits. I care about the architecture as much as the feature that ships on top of it.

AI Integration & Pipelines

I build AI features that actually do something useful. GPT, Claude, Gemini, picked for the job, not the hype. Production pipelines with FastAPI, built to hold up under real load.

API Design & Backend

Good APIs are boring in the best way. Fast queries, clean contracts, background jobs that do not block the user. I write backends that other developers enjoy working with.

Frontend Engineering

I have built storefronts for global luxury brands and gamified experiences for enterprise retailers. The bar is high and the details matter.

Technical Consulting

Sometimes a team needs a second opinion. I review architectures, help pick the right stack, and flag the things that tend to cause problems later.

Code Review & Mentoring

I have reviewed a lot of code over seven years. I know what good looks like and I am direct about what needs to change. I enjoy helping engineers grow.
