I a broadly skilled generalist senior developer - specialised roles I did in the past included data engineering / MLOps for a healthcare AI start-up and bioinformatics ops and research.

Bio summary: After a graduating with a maths degree in 2014 and an early career role in finance, I found my path to data engineering in bioinformatics in 2016, initially as a full stack developer in a research institute and then taking on increasingly data focused work. I worked in life sciences for many years, until in 2023 I joined a healthcare startup, which for an exciting year and a half was a great opportunity to experiment with 'modern practice' like Databricks and integrating LLMs. Looking for new opportunities to engage in meaningful work.

From my bioinformatics and data engineer experience, I'm good at interfacing with researchers and turning ideas and prototypes into working products: developing data flow workflows, evaluating performance of models, providing interfaces and entry points for clients, and more.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of contributing to significant projects in academic, commercial, and non-profit settings. If my profile or any of the technologies listed resonate with you, feel free to reach out via email!

My core focus is solving real business problems QUICKLY and AFFORDABLY in a way that's easy to enhance and extend. Whether you need to streamline operations, replace outdated systems, or build something new, I deliver practical solutions quickly without cutting corners.

About Me

I've been building software systems professionally since the mid-90s, working across industries like finance, payments, scientific research, mil-spec, and telecoms. For most of the past 25 years, I focused on embedded systems, though I still take on the occasional eBPF or IoT project for select clients. These days, I prefer developing Line-of-Business (LoB) applications for SMEs; the faster turnaround and immediate impact make it especially rewarding.

What I Deliver

I specialize in building Line-of-Business web-applications tailored to SMEs, using a lean proprietary low-code technology stack.

For most projects, I deliver functional, reliable apps in 4-6 weeks; a typical project costs around $5000 USD as a one-time fee. I also accommodate clients who prefer a monthly subscription model (yes, SaaS habits are hard to break).

What makes me faster and more cost-effective? I've developed a proprietary framework that accelerates development while allowing rapid, low-code-style enhancements. Clients receive full source code with a non-redistribution license, ensuring they can extend or maintain their solution without being locked into ongoing contracts.

If you need a Line-of-Business app done fast and affordably, without sacrificing quality, I'll quickly give you a very good idea of cost for your intended scope.
