What each service does, who it is for, what I did and how it was built.
Case studies
-
A fostering profile platform for a UK children’s charity
Foster carers use this platform to introduce their home and family to a child before the child moves in. I was main developer and led its technical development as it grew from one charity’s fostering teams to other fostering services in England and Wales, in English and Welsh.
-
A parenting support chat platform built on Twilio Flex
Parents of children up to 19 can message a qualified coach for free, by webchat or WhatsApp. I was one of the developers who built and maintained the Twilio Flex platform behind it. In 2025/26, 3,984 parents had one-to-one coaching, and 99% of those who rated it called it good or amazing.
-
A computing education platform for UK schools
A computing charity runs free courses where young people design and build apps for problems they care about. I was main developer on its platform, then led the build of the new one: courses that any teacher can deliver well, and industry volunteers matched to classes. The programme reached 30,444 young people in 708 schools in 2024/25.

Tailwise: matching dog seekers with verified breeders
Tailwise wanted to stop people buying dogs from puppy farms by matching anyone looking for a dog with verified, responsible breeders. As founding product engineer I took the first version from idea to launch in six months, and the launched product was central to the founders’ £200,000 raise.
-
Migrating a property inspection business off InventoryBase
A UK property inventory agency wanted 14 years of inspection records out of InventoryBase and into a platform it owns. I led the engineering: took over the live link with Airtable from a half-built sync service, then moved more than 60,000 inspections and over 4 TB of reports and photos while staff kept working.
-
A breast cancer support app for life after treatment
A UK breast cancer charity’s app gave people living with and beyond primary breast cancer more than 300 short cards of trusted advice, shaped by women who had been through treatment. I worked on every part of it, from the app to the backend and content system, and kept it running until the charity closed it.

PostDeploy: everything after you ship
Too many small teams find out production is broken from a customer email. I founded PostDeploy to change that: uptime monitoring, error tracking, privacy-first analytics, status pages and changelogs in one place, with an alarm when a scheduled job goes quiet. Teams set it up by asking the coding agent they already use.
Also shipped
Two iOS apps I designed, built and released on my own: SkyCheck, which shows drone pilots in Romania where they can fly from live official airspace data, and Food & Fit, a protein and fibre tracker for women with PCOS, built with input from my wife, who is a doctor.
