The Edinburgh Fringe's £800k ticketing system failed at launch. Built a replacement over the weekend. 150k tickets sold.
A £13,200 system quoted in 2003 for megabus became the core platform for two client relationships across the UK, North America, and Eastern Europe — built and operated by the same person for twelve years.
Founded kraya at 18, ran it for 15 years — five departments, thirty people at peak, every major client through direct referral.
Breadth across engineering, DevOps, data, and infrastructure — plus the commercial judgment that comes from running a company for 15 years.
Looking for the ideal permanent role. Also open to project and contract work.

I thought any website that wanted to operate in the EU had to follow EU regulations. How well this is enforced is another question.

I became an engineer because I love the work. I tend to use AI as a peer programmer / sounding board. There are boring bits - boilerplate that I will get A.I to to, but I prefer to do the fun / interesting things myself
