Backend & APIs
Python, FastAPI, streaming responses, token auth, rate limiting, SQLite and
schema migrations.
Data gathering & research
Scrapers and pipelines that pull from scattered sources, government registers,
listings, media, cross-check them against each other, and come out the far end as one
document you can act on. Client work, so no examples here.
Web design & build
Sites designed and written from scratch, then hosted and handed over with a
panel the owner can run themselves. Every page on this domain is mine.
Frontend
Hand-written HTML, CSS and JavaScript with no framework. Installable web apps,
offline shells, responsive from phone to desktop.
App development & design
Native and installable apps: Swift and SwiftUI, secure credential storage,
push notifications, and the interface design that goes with them.
AI infrastructure
Local LLM inference, vision models, diffusion pipelines, VRAM budgeting,
model routing and graceful degradation.
Servers & storage
Linux administration, Unraid, Docker containerisation, ZFS arrays past 100 TB,
redundancy and backup design.
Networking
UniFi deployment and controller management, routing and firewall rules, VLANs,
Wi-Fi planning, structured cabling.
Security posture
Zero-trust tunnels with no open ports, hashed credentials, session expiry,
per-user permissions, and separating what is exposed from what is powerful.
Hardware
PC and server builds to budget, component diagnostics, AV integration,
CCTV and access hardware.
Client work
Scoping, quoting, invoicing and account management. Coordinating contractors
on larger jobs.
