Now

I'm a Senior Software Engineer currently at the Department for Business, Innovation, Science, and Trade (BIST), where I work on the department's CRM and the pipelines that feed it. Outside work I'm tinkering with various projects, some of which are showcased below and, as of this month, trying to write more.

Projects

dotclaude

status=public

My Claude Code skills and subagents, packaged as a plugin. Settle a decision, write the spec, split it into tickets, build it, review it. Built for me, but you're welcome to it.

Rhian & Oliver

status=building

A wedding-planning app for our own wedding: a guest site behind a household code, and a private admin for guests, RSVPs, vendors, budget, seating, and the day's timeline. TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and a pg-boss worker.

My Livery

status=building

A management tool for livery yard service providers: small businesses with no shortage of admin. Go (Echo) REST API, Next.js frontend, PostgreSQL, and Redis, with Atlas schema migrations, JWT auth, and role-based access control.

Caelite Index

status=building

A reference-data product for the space-resources economy: an append-only, versioned system of record covering companies, contracts, and events, feeding monthly briefs and a probabilistic prospecting index. Python, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, and PostgreSQL.
