I'm a Laravel and AI enthusiast based in Chester, UK. I'm a long-time Claude user, recent Codex user, and I work with PHP, JavaScript, Go, TypeScript, Bun, MySQL, Redis, AWS, Linux, CLI tooling, and AI-assisted workflows.
I'm currently Lead AI Solutions Engineer at AVRillo, where I'm helping build a property conveyancing platform from the ground up, informed by around 30 years of legacy software and domain knowledge. I use AI to accelerate day-to-day development and wider business workflows, and I'm implementing AI features in the new system to automate complex conveyancing tasks.
Most of my recent open source work is under Forjd.
