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.
