Business systems and internal tools
Clear, maintainable applications for teams who rely on accurate operational data.
What I help with
Software that supports daily operations needs clear thinking, careful maintenance and an understanding of how people actually use business systems.
Python web applications
Flask and FastAPI systems designed for long-term use.
Sage 50 and legacy integration
Careful integration with established systems and data flows.
Databases and reporting
Schema design, queries, reports and exports that people can trust.
Frontend and admin interfaces
Practical screens for real workflows, not decorative dashboards.
Servers and deployment
Windows and Linux hosting, services, deployment and troubleshooting.
Recent project work
Recent work has centred on operational systems where correctness, continuity and maintainability matter.
Operations
Stock management and virtual warehouse system
A business-critical stock platform supporting purchasing, allocation, warehouse visibility and day-to-day operational control.
Administration
Large Flask-Admin business platform
A substantial internal platform built around structured data, admin workflows, permissions, reporting and maintainable Python code.
Integration
Sage Proxy Server
A service layer for controlled Sage 50 access, helping business systems communicate reliably with accounting data.
Modern software engineering
AI-assisted, but judgement-led
I make pragmatic use of modern AI-assisted development tools where they genuinely improve quality, productivity or maintainability.
AI can accelerate routine coding, documentation, testing and refactoring, but successful software still depends on experience, sound architecture and understanding the business problem. Every design decision, code review and deployment remains guided by engineering judgement rather than blindly accepting AI-generated output.
Used well, AI allows me to spend less time writing boilerplate and more time solving the problems that actually matter to my clients.
