Full-Stack Developer & Research Engineer
I help communities and organisations build platforms that actually serve their users. Specialising in privacy-first data collection and community engagement tools.
What I Do
Secure platforms for sensitive data collection with zero tracking and complete anonymity by design.
Stripe and GoCardless integrations with automated Gift Aid collection and recurring donations.
Gemini and OpenAI API integration, adaptive systems, and AI-powered data analysis for web applications.
Selected Work
Anonymous community feedback where AI learns what to ask next. Evolved from a Gemini 3 Hackathon prototype into a live platform now running real community surveys. Adaptive questions, theme extraction, and AI-generated collective insights — the questionnaire gets smarter as more people contribute.
Donation and Gift Aid platform for small UK charities, built by a trustee. Direct Debit through GoCardless, Gift Aid claimed straight from HMRC, and a one-line embed for any charity website — with no monthly fee and nothing taken from donations.
Premium marketing site for an electric hydrofoil startup. Magazine-quality design meeting exceptional performance standards with rich media and animations.
