I build full-stack SaaS products and AI automations using structured agentic engineering workflows — scoped, verified, deployed and maintained. No account manager layer. No hand-offs. No AI on autopilot.
Mobile-first apps for small businesses — works on any phone and installs to the home screen with its own icon. One build, not separate iPhone and Android apps.

About
I work with founders who need a complete product built without hiring a full team, and with existing products that need stabilization, hardening, or reliability improvements.
I build full-stack SaaS products and AI automations using structured agentic engineering workflows — scoped, verified, deployed and maintained. No account manager layer. No hand-offs. No AI on autopilot.
You do not need to know what an MVP or SaaS means. Many clients start with a business website, booking tool, dashboard, or automation that replaces spreadsheets and manual admin — scoped in plain English before anything is built.
BEng Software Engineering (Upper Second Class Honours), London Metropolitan University. Based in Greater Manchester — structured workflows with verification at each step, the same discipline behind my live product and client deliveries.
Solo accountability. Senior execution.
No account managers. No hand-offs to juniors. Every architecture decision and production line is mine — you talk to the engineer building your product.
Production-first from day one.
MVPs that are not ready for real users are prototypes. Every build includes deployment, smoke testing, and a stabilization window. I do not ship and disappear.
Scope discipline. No scope creep.
Every engagement starts with defined scope. Change requests are transparent and quoted separately — you always know what you are paying for and why.
Build once. Maintain properly.
Optional monthly care plans keep your product stable after launch. Handover notes and architecture docs are included in every delivery — not an afterthought.
Proof of work
BestFootballPredictions.co.uk is not a concept — it is a production SaaS with the same architecture patterns I deliver for clients.

Services
Production-ready SaaS engineering — from greenfield builds to rescue and hardening of live systems.
Frontend, backend, database, auth, billing, and admin essentials — production-ready, not prototypes.
Fallback logic, retries, cache-first behaviour, and graceful degradation when third-party APIs fail.
Scheduled jobs, data sync, model refresh flows, health checks, and background operations.
Linux, systemd, Nginx, Cloudflare, smoke tests, and rollback-safe release workflows.
JWT/RBAC, rate limiting, SSH hardening, firewall rules, and brute-force protection.
Live incident diagnosis, log forensics, uptime fixes, and operational reliability improvements.
Engineering process
AI can generate code fast. Production software still needs architecture, debugging, verification, deployment discipline and maintenance.
My workflow uses AI agents inside a structured engineering process — not as a replacement for it. Faster delivery, without treating your business software as an experiment.
Before any code runs, I map the system: dependencies, data flow, failure points, scope boundaries. AI generates nothing until the architecture is clear.
AI generates options. I decide what goes in — and what doesn't. Stack choice, data model, API contracts: engineering decisions, not autocomplete.
No 500-line AI dumps committed blindly. Incremental, verified steps — each one checked before the next. If something breaks, I know exactly where.
AI can't read your logs, your production environment, or your edge cases. I can. Every issue gets diagnosed and fixed — not patched over with another prompt.
Deployment is not the finish line. Smoke tests, health checks, and a stabilization window before handover. If it breaks post-deploy, I fix it.
Every delivery includes architecture notes, environment config, and a README. You own what was built — no black box, no dependency on me to explain it.
The difference between fast and reckless: structured agentic engineering means AI works inside a process that has checkpoints, reversibility, and a human accountable for the outcome. Not a prompt and a prayer.
Default stack
Lean, proven tooling — PostgreSQL or MySQL for new SaaS builds, FastAPI + Next.js by default, extended when the project needs it. Not a buzzword list.
Post-launch
After launch, most SaaS products need ongoing monitoring, updates, fixes, backup checks, dependency maintenance, security patches, and small improvements. I offer optional monthly care plans so your product stays stable after delivery — without the cost of hiring an in-house developer or DevOps admin.
Build once. Maintain properly. Avoid silent failure.
Every production build is designed to be maintainable — not a black box only I can operate. Clear documentation, clean repo, and operational hooks from day one.
Business-hours support (UK). Response targets are for triage and acknowledgement — not guaranteed fix times. No 24/7 on-call unless agreed separately.
Scope clarity
You are not buying a vague website. You are buying architecture, implementation, deployment, security basics, operational stability, and optional post-launch care — with limits written upfront.
How engagement works
Senior solo execution — scoped delivery, not an agency team.
You work directly with the engineer who architects, builds, and deploys your product. Stack-standardized, AI-assisted delivery — without account-manager overhead or junior hand-offs.
