I build AI-native products and high-traffic web platforms from architecture through production.
United KingdomWhat I'm looking for
I built IdeaTub end-to-end, a persistent AI second brain that unifies notes, meetings, emails, Jira updates, and YouTube transcripts in PostgreSQL with pgvector for multiple AI agents to use via MCP.
At Elixirr, I led high-traffic platform development for Dezeen and other media properties, including a GA4 MCP Gateway that lets AI agents query and reason over analytics data directly. I also delivered tracking architecture for organisations including Mastercard Foundation and BSI, while establishing CI/CD and automated testing practices.
I've owned architecture from early proof of concept through scale, including as Sn-ap Travel Technology's first technical hire, where I helped build a product supporting more than 35,000 customers. I work across PHP, Laravel, Symfony, TypeScript, React, cloud infrastructure, and AI-first product engineering.
