React and Next.js products. Production AI that earns its place.

I join product teams to build web applications, modernise existing frontends and put AI into production. Senior engineering, from the first technical decision through to release.

How I work with AI

I use agents to shape scope, gather context, implement, test and review. The work still ships on evidence and human approval.

See how I work with AI

The delivery loop starts with human intent and context. An agent works within that scope and runs tests. A person reviews the evidence before the outcome ships, or sends the work back for another pass.
