Track Record

I've worked with over 40 clients across government, enterprise, and startups. Everything from rapid prototypes to production systems.

40+ clients across government, media, telecoms, banking, manufacturing, and education. I lead teams and work closely with stakeholders. I've built secure CI/CD pipelines, microservices, and cloud infrastructure that scales. For one client, automation and better cloud architecture cut their infrastructure costs by around £3,000 a month.

Projects

I usually have a few projects on the go. Some are live, some are still in progress.

RelayEmail

Beta

Minimal API for contact forms and analytics. Projects, allowed domains, public submission endpoint, and daily metrics.

A lightweight SolidJS wireframing app for designing screens and component layouts, with a strong focus on reusable UI patterns.

A new product focused on practical workflows with a clean and fast user experience.

An app inspired by my wife. We decided that sharing how we are feeling matters, then I went overboard and added loads of games.

A Kubernetes-first management app for handling clusters, deployed apps and day-to-day cloud platform operations.

Nunchucks

A TypeScript rewrite and extension of Nunjucks-style templating with plans for stronger features and improved ergonomics.

Wedding - Scotland

Samuel in Scotland

Scotland was our wedding chapter. It keeps me grounded and reminds me what matters when work gets noisy.

London Art Exhibition

Samuel in London

London was an amazing art exhibition and a reminder that good design and storytelling matter as much as technical quality.
