Available for roles, contracts and small jobs

Software engineer, working efficiently with Claude Code.

I'm Jay Stewart. Eight years of backend and full-stack experience, including agency work on Dyson's stores. I can help with client projects, payments, connecting different systems and production problems.

A permanent role, a contract, a few days or ad hoc tickets: all welcome. Remote is ideal; hybrid or on-site in the UK for the right role. UK citizen, abroad for now; back within days for an agreed UK role.

Since March 2026 I've been building and running SpiralClass, a booking, payments and video platform used by a teacher and her students. Most of its code is agent-written; I review it, test it and run it.
