I add AI to software that businesses already use, and I build small AI tools and assistants from scratch. That covers things like letting an AI answer questions from your own documents, automating a repetitive task that currently takes up someone's day, automating emails, pulling data out of PDFs, connecting AI to the systems you already run, and checking the results are correct rather than just plausible.

I work mainly in Python and Rust, and in TypeScript and React Native when a project needs a website or a mobile app. Alongside client work I build and release my own software, including open-source developer tools and my own iOS, Android and web apps, so I'm comfortable taking something from a first idea through to a finished product people use day to day.

Before this I spent two years at Diamond Light Source, the UK's national synchrotron, writing machine-learning and high-performance computing software for X-ray imaging, on top of a physics degree and a PhD. That background shapes how I work: I test what I build, and I don't hand over code I can't explain.

Typical projects: adding an AI feature to an existing product, building an automation around a repetitive task, setting up a system that answers questions from your documents, or making sure an AI tool gives accurate answers before it goes live. I keep projects clearly defined, agree a fixed price where I can, and work in days and weeks rather than months.
