Full-stack developer based in Cambridge, UK. I build custom web systems that run real businesses: payments, bookings, admin panels, databases, all coded by hand, with no framework hiding what's actually happening under index.html. The result: pages that load fast, servers that cost less to run, and a system that's completely yours.
No dependency tree to patch. No bloated libraries slowing things down.
Just fast page loads, lower server costs, and a system that keeps running without surprise breakage. You get complete ownership of truly custom code, free from the plugin hell, rigid templates, and constant update cycles of platforms like WordPress or Wix. It's the kind of detail that matters less to a portfolio and more to whoever's paying the hosting bill.
I like building things that actually work — not shipping something and disappearing.
I've seen people quoted eye-watering prices for a template with their logo slapped on, or left waiting weeks for a reply because they're client #47 on some agency's list. Work with me and you're talking directly to the person writing the code — no account manager in between, no jargon you need translating, no surprise scope creep once you've paid a deposit. If something's unclear, ask. If a feature isn't worth the cost, I'll tell you honestly rather than pad the invoice.
Every project is built from scratch for your business, not assembled from a template. That means real security (bcrypt, CSRF tokens, rate limiting, hardened sessions), a database designed around what you actually do, and a site only you can log into. No marketplace gig re-skinned for the next client.
