The commercial systems I’ve worked on, my own applications and how I use AI in day-to-day software engineering.
I’ve worked on healthcare systems, invoicing and document workflows, as well as banking and e-commerce applications.
Since 2014 I’ve worked on web applications from the frontend to deployment: TypeScript and Angular, Java on the backend, relational SQL databases (PostgreSQL, Microsoft SQL Server) and message queues. I also handle their hosting (nginx, AWS, Cloudflare) and end-to-end tests in Playwright.
About my specialisationI build websites for businesses and institutions, from single-page sites to service directories. If the content rarely changes, I suggest a fast static site. When a team regularly updates its services or publishes news, I choose a simple CMS so they can make those changes themselves.
I build tools for specific tasks within a business. Examples include a dashboard for handling requests, a form with an approval step, a report from a SQL database or an integration that reduces manual data entry. I scope the work around one process and the people who will use the tool.
I use Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot and Claude to analyse code, plan changes, create tests and review code. I inspect changes in the repository and run tests before deployment.
I use model APIs and run local language models through AnythingLLM on my own machine (AMD Strix Halo, 128 GB RAM). It runs quantised models of up to 180 billion parameters. I swap models when something better appears on Hugging Face, and I check the licence each one is released under. For automation, I start with a small prototype and a few representative cases. I check output quality, usage costs, what data goes to the model and how much work it takes to review the results.
The agent writes code in the project’s language, so I also take jobs outside Angular and Java. I start by reading the code and running the tests, and I check every change myself before handing it over.
In development
Alongside my commercial work, I develop my own mobile apps. I write them in Flutter (Dart) so one codebase ships to both the App Store and Google Play.
