Claude

AI assistants and RAG

Grounded assistants for WhatsApp, web chat and internal tools. Retrieval over your own data, typed tools instead of free-form actions, guardrails and human handoff built in.

Supabase

SaaS and MVP builds

A first version that is small, production-grade and easy to extend: auth, billing, multi-tenancy and the admin you will actually need.

Contact

REST

APIs, integrations and automation

Shopify, payment providers, couriers, calendars, access-control hardware, CRMs. Queues and webhooks that keep working when the other side is slow.

Contact

Refactoring

Improving an existing product

Take over a codebase, stabilise it, fix performance, add the features that were always postponed. I am comfortable in code I did not write.

Contact

AI assistants that do the work

The model handles the conversation. Prices, bookings, stock and orders are decided by code, with a human always one message away.

Working demo 路 2026

AI Receptionist

A 24/7 WhatsApp booking agent for appointment-based businesses.

  • Books against real availability. Checks open slots, prevents double bookings with a database exclusion constraint, and confirms in chat.
  • Reminders that act. 24-hour and 2-hour reminders with buttons to reschedule or cancel without leaving WhatsApp.
  • Guardrails. Refuses medical advice, admits when it does not know, never invents a policy or a price.

Three ways to work together

Hourly work starts from $30/hour. Contracts and scoped builds are quoted from the brief.

Hourly

For ongoing work with a moving scope. Tracked hours, a weekly summary of what shipped, and no minimum commitment.

Ongoing contract

A fixed number of days per week or month for teams that need senior capacity without hiring. Same person every week, so context is never lost.

Scoped build

A defined deliverable with milestones and a clear handover: repository, documentation, deployment runbook, and a walkthrough with your team.

Direct communication
You talk to the person writing the code. Slack, WhatsApp or email, with a reply on the same working day.
Scoped tasks
Work is broken into tasks you can see and prioritise. Nothing large starts without a written scope.
Progress you can inspect
Deployed previews and short written updates, so you see the product rather than a status report.
Maintainable handover
Typed code, migrations, environment templates and runbooks. Another developer can pick it up without me.

Have a product to build, or a codebase that needs a senior pair of hands?

Tell me what you are working on. I reply within one working day, in my own words.
