Building software. Launching products.


I'm a software engineer building products and consulting for UK businesses.

Right now I'm building two SaaS products. Redactr is an API for PDF redaction that actually removes the data — not a black box drawn on top. DomainDash is multi-region SSL, uptime, and DNS monitoring built for engineers who don't want to pay enterprise rates for it.

I also build open source tools. Nearhost opens a dev server running on another machine at a local HTTPS address, over the SSH you already have.

For the last decade I've been building web and mobile apps for businesses across the UK. I work across the full stack, from React, React Native, and Vue on the front end to PHP (Laravel), Node, Python, and Rust on the back end.
