Software Developer
I guide AI agents to build products people want, with every change reviewed and verified by me before it ships.
Examples of the UI and UX work I do for clients. Open one to explore it full page, with notes on each decision.
Online store
A product page for a small coffee roaster, designed so choosing a coffee and subscribing feels easy and honest.
Class booking
A booking flow for a ceramics studio that takes a beginner from picking a class to a confirmed seat in under a minute.
Order management
An orders dashboard for an outdoor gear shop's small team, built for a busy morning of packing and shipping.
Healthcare admin
An admin console for a group of pharmacies: inviting staff, managing roles and permissions, approving access and keeping a clear record of who did what.
AI agents do much of the building. I decide what gets built, check everything they produce, and answer for what ships.
Pick a step to see who does what, and the guardrail behind it.
01 Brief: Start from the people who will use it.
What I do
Define who it's for, what they need, and what done looks like.
What the agents do
Nothing yet. No code is written until the goal is clear.
Guardrail
A written brief and a project rules file (design rules, constraints, past decisions) that every agent session reads first.
02 Plan: Turn the goal into small, checkable steps.
What I do
Choose the architecture and break the work into tasks small enough to review in one sitting.
What the agents do
Propose approaches and surface trade-offs. I approve, adjust, or redirect.
Guardrail
Scoped tasks on their own branch. Nothing goes straight to main.
03 Build: Agents write the code. I steer.
What I do
Watch the work as it happens, cut scope creep, and keep it to the brief.
What the agents do
Implement the task, following the project's rules and conventions.
Guardrail
Hard limits agents can't relax on their own: no new dependencies, a strict security policy, no inline scripts.
04 Verify: Done means proven, not claimed.
What I do
Run it for real: browser checks at desktop and phone sizes, console errors, layout, and frame rate.
What the agents do
Write and run the checks, and fix what fails.
Guardrail
An agent saying it's done is not evidence. Screenshots, measurements, and tests are.
05 Review: Every change gets my eyes before it ships.
What I do
Read the diff, question the choices, and send back anything that misses the brief.
What the agents do
Address the feedback and resubmit. The loop runs until it's right.
Guardrail
Rejected work goes back to Build. Nothing ships just because it compiles.
06 Ship: Merge, release, and keep the standard.
What I do
Merge, deploy, and update the handoff notes so the next session starts where this one ended.
What the agents do
Prepare the release and document what changed.
Guardrail
Only reviewed, verified work reaches main, and every change can be traced and reverted.
Fast because of the agents. Right because of the review.

The tools I reach for, in orbit. Pick one to see how it shows up in my work, or drag to spin the globe.

Each one comes with how I use it in the products I deliver.
