I'm an award-winning freelancer who has generated millions in revenue for companies worldwide, with work featured in The Guardian, The Independent, and on the BBC. Over 23 years I've delivered for clients from startups to Booking.com and Uber.

My work has always lived at the intersection of design and development. I handle UX/UI, front-end and back-end, combining a photographer's eye with modern AI tools to move quickly without cutting corners.

My first product

Founder & CTO · design, full-stack build & the AI pipeline

A medical-bill analysis platform for US consumers. It turns opaque hospital bills and insurance EOBs into plain-English breakdowns, flags likely errors, estimates savings, and drafts appeal letters. I own it end to end: a vision model reads bills directly (no OCR), a rules engine catches overcharges, all on a HIPAA-aligned stack.
