What I do

Business applications

CRMs and the tools a team runs its day on: client records, pipelines, file notes and the workflows between them. I've built and worked on CRMs, including Sage, a practice platform for financial advisers.

This is Sage's client list. Try it: search, open a client, or switch to Modelling in the sidebar.

In production: Sage.

Professional dashboards

Portfolios, reports and the numbers a business watches. Charts, filters and live figures that stay quick with years of data behind them.

This one is live. Change the range, hover the chart, or focus it and use the arrow keys.

In production: Costbase.

Fast, findable websites

Content sites built with Astro and hosted on Cloudflare. Plain HTML first, JavaScript only where it earns its place, and hosting that costs next to nothing.

This site is one. These are its own Lighthouse results on a throttled mobile connection.

TanStack Start Is the Future of React

Type-safe routing, server functions with real middleware and plain Vite underneath. Why I built Sage on TanStack Start rather than Next.js.

Why SvelteKit Is the Framework for the AI Age

When agents write most of the code, the framework that needs the least of it wins. Less code is easier to read, quicker to review and lighter to ship.

Astro + Cloudflare Is the Answer for Your Marketing Site

Fast, findable, cheap to run and hard to break. Why I build content sites with Astro and host them on Cloudflare.
