Work

What I build, and how it’s put together.

A website built for a client, two live tools running on this site, a real-time web app for modern browsers, and an ongoing development automation platform. Together they show the range of what I can build. Each case study explains the challenge, what was built and what it shows, rather than just a screenshot.

Event website with its own admin system
Iwade Rock
The website for Iwade Rock, a community music event held every two years that raises money for charity, built for the organiser with an admin dashboard so they can run it themselves between events.

Visitors
Public site
Facebook news feed
The challenge
The organiser of Iwade Rock needed more than a static page. Line-ups, tickets, sponsors, food vendors, news and photos all change in the run-up to each event, and the organiser needed to keep them up to date without calling a developer, on hosting that costs little and needs no server looking after.

Live tool on this site
UK Fuel Finder
A free tool on this site that finds petrol and diesel prices near a postcode or your location, using the UK Government’s official Fuel Finder data.

Azure Functions
In-memory national cache

Postcode lookup

Fuel Finder page
Map and list
The challenge
The UK Government’s Fuel Finder service publishes forecourt prices, but its API has no “near me” search: it hands out the whole country in batches, with strict limits on how fast it can be called. The goal was a quick, simple search for drivers that respects those limits, keeps prices current and is honest about how old each price is.

Live tool on this site and data platform
UK EV Charger Finder
A free tool on this site for finding public electric vehicle chargers near you, built on WorthIT EV Data, an API that combines charge point data from several sources into one consistent format.

Future apps
The challenge
UK charge point operators have to publish their data openly under the Public Charge Point Regulations 2023, using the OCPI standard. In practice every source differs: some need keys, each has its own limits, statuses are not always live, the same charger can appear in more than one feed, and tariffs can combine per-kWh prices with session, time and idle fees. The aim was one clean API that hides those differences, and a finder that never shows a charger twice or a price it can’t stand behind.

Browser-based web app
EDCoPTER
A real-time web app for modern browsers that turns phones, tablets and PCs on the local network into live, touch-friendly control panels. Built as a free companion app for Elite Dangerous players, it shows what a browser-based app can do beyond a website.

The challenge
The goal was to give Elite Dangerous players who use the EDCoPilot voice assistant a second screen: live information about their ship and location, and buttons for in-game commands, on a phone, tablet or PC already to hand. That meant bridging a local desktop tool to browsers across the home network in real time, letting every player design their own layout, and shipping reliable installers and updates to people running it on their own machines.

Ongoing development platform
AI development automation
An ongoing development platform exploring how coding tasks can be planned, delegated and verified across multiple AI providers, while keeping the developer in control.

The challenge
AI development tools are powerful individually, but each has different strengths, and using them well involves a lot of manual coordination. The aim is to explore how development work can be orchestrated end to end, with suitable tools doing each part and the developer staying in control. The working infrastructure is real, and the orchestration architecture is still being developed and refined.

Professional background

Business software, built and maintained for the long term.

Alongside these projects sits professional software development experience going back to 2009, building and maintaining business software: the SQL-backed applications, APIs and service architectures that organisations rely on every day, with Angular front ends on newer work.

That means being comfortable with established .NET, C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET, MVC and WCF systems as well as modern web and cloud technology, understanding why a system is built the way it is before changing it, and modernising it in steps rather than rewriting it by default.
