A snapshot of what I'm actually doing this month. I refresh this page when something material changes, not every week.
Shipping
- PromptForge is live at promptforge.uk. Free during the evaluation phase. The latest pass replaced the template-assembly engine with a hybrid-retrieval RAG pipeline: pgvector inside Supabase, BM25 fusion via RRF, optional CrossEncoder rerank, and a server-side citation validator that strips any sentence the model can't tie back to a retrieved chunk.
- Islamic Services Marketplace: a multi-service platform connecting clients with vetted practitioners for Hijama, Ruqya, Quran tutoring, and more. Built for a group launching a UK-based startup. Feature-complete with 206 tests, Stripe integration, GDPR compliance, and child safeguarding. Pending deployment.
- The finance tracker is now public on GitHub.
Working
- Final year started in September. Graduate applications for September 2027 are open now, so a chunk of each week goes there.
- At TwelveTech Systems on customer-facing web work. API design, code review, QA, and AI-integration spikes inside products that already ship.
Reading
- Marketplace architecture patterns: how Treatwell, Fresha, and Booksy handle multi-practitioner booking, trust signals, and commission splits at scale.
- UK GDPR special-category data handling for health and religious services, and DBS requirements for online tutoring platforms (changed January 2026).
- Anthropic and OpenAI release notes, mostly the bits on prompt caching and structured-output reliability.
Open to
- Graduate software engineering roles starting Sept 2027 (final year ends June 2027).
- Freelance work that involves real AI integration or full-stack product builds.
- A chat with anyone building dev tools, marketplaces, or AI products with serious engineering rigour behind them.
