Web apps built properly,
from the backend up.

I build custom applications where the backend actually matters — real-time data systems, payment integrations, and the infrastructure to keep them running. Not templates, not page builders. Systems you own, in code you can hand to anyone.

Systems built end to end.

Architecture, backend, frontend and the servers underneath — each of these was designed, built and deployed by me.

AI-powered UK company intelligence platform

A live subscription platform that turns raw UK company filings into plain-English due diligence, with an AI assistant that answers questions about any company. Cross-references Companies House, HM Land Registry, the Gazette, FCA and ICO, with PDF reports, monitoring alerts and Stripe billing. Built and run end to end.

Goodping
UK hosting & VPS provider

Built and ran a UK hosting company end to end — physical hardware colocated at Volta Data Centres in London, transit and peering arranged with Cogent, virtualisation, WHMCS billing automation and customer provisioning. Infrastructure I owned at the rack level, not a reseller panel.

News aggregation engine

Pulls roughly a hundred RSS feeds from global publishers on a scheduled cycle, normalises and de-duplicates them into a flat-file cache, and serves seven categories plus topic routing with no database and no ad tracking. Rebuilt and migrated to new infrastructure in 2026.

Capabilities

What I'm usually hired for.

Work that needs a developer rather than a plugin — where the requirements don't fit an off-the-shelf product.

01

Real-time systems

Live dashboards, event streams and push notifications over WebSockets. Continuous ingestion pipelines that stay up, recover from upstream failure and don't hammer their sources.

02

Payments & integrations

Payment gateways, webhooks and third-party APIs wired into your own systems — with the retry logic, idempotency and reconciliation that separate a demo from something you can bill through.

03

Custom platforms & portals

Client portals, admin systems and internal tools: authentication, roles and permissions, audit trails and reporting. Built around your actual process rather than a template's assumptions.

04

Data platforms

Aggregation, normalisation and scheduled processing at volume. Turning messy external feeds and APIs into something clean, cached and fast enough to serve directly.

05

Legacy PHP rescue

Inherited a codebase nobody understands? I work through undocumented systems, stabilise them, close the security holes and modernise incrementally — without a rewrite you can't afford.

06

Infrastructure & deployment

Linux servers, web stacks, TLS, mail, DNS, CDN and backups. I deploy and operate what I build, so performance and uptime aren't somebody else's problem after launch.

The web moves fast. Here's what's landing right now across the frameworks, browsers and tooling I build with — pulled live from the sources developers actually read.

How I work

Fixed scope. Visible progress. Code you own.

STEP 01

Scope & proposal

We talk through the problem before anything is quoted. You get a written scope with deliverables, assumptions and a fixed price — not an hourly estimate that drifts.

STEP 02

Architecture

Data model, integrations and failure modes agreed up front. This is where the expensive mistakes get caught, while they're still just a diagram.

STEP 03

Build in milestones

Work lands on a staging environment you can use throughout. Milestone payments tied to working software, so you're never paying for progress you can't see.

STEP 04

Launch & handover

Deployment, monitoring and a documented handover. Full source and infrastructure access transfers to you — no lock-in, no proprietary layer you have to keep paying for.

About

Eleven years of shipping.

I've been building and running web systems since 2015 — starting with a mobile airtime top-up service that accepted Bitcoin, when that meant writing the settlement logic yourself, and later running a UK hosting company with hardware colocated in a London data centre.

That background shapes how I build. I've been the person on call when a server fails at 3am, so I write code that fails predictably and logs enough to diagnose. I've integrated payment rails and third-party APIs that break in production, so I plan for retries, partial failures and reconciliation from the start.

I work solo and take on a small number of projects at a time. You deal with the person writing the code — no account manager, no handoff to a junior team after the pitch.

Backend
PHP, Node.js, Python, MySQL, SQLite, REST & WebSocket APIs
Frontend
JavaScript, HTML5, CSS3, responsive and accessible interfaces
Infrastructure
Linux, Apache/Nginx, Postfix, TLS, Cloudflare, VPS & colocation
Integrations
Payment gateways, blockchain APIs, government & registry APIs, webhooks
Working together

Built for working with international clients.

I work in English and I’m based in Istanbul on UTC+3 — two hours ahead of London, one ahead of most of Europe. That means a normal shared working day: same-day answers, calls at sensible hours, and no waiting overnight for a reply to a blocking question.

Every project runs on a written contract with a fixed scope and milestone payments. Where personal data is involved, I work to a written data processing agreement and the transfer safeguards UK and EU GDPR require — prepared up front, not negotiated afterwards.
