Alongside the large projects, many smaller builds over the years: focused tools that solve one problem well, for clubs, teams, clients and my own daily work. Too many to list, so here is a sample.
Four recent examples, picked to show the range. Most small builds never make it to a portfolio: internal tools, scripts that save a team an hour a day, quick fixes that became products.
Voice dictation for the whole Linux desktop: press a shortcut, speak, and the text is typed into whichever window is active. Whisper transcribes on the machine, a local LLM can tidy punctuation and typos, and the audio never leaves the computer unless you choose the cloud engine.
Read, write and preview Markdown files on the Ubuntu desktop, fully offline. Three views (preview, source, or side by side with synced scrolling), a full editor, rich rendering with diagrams and maths, and task boxes you can tick straight in the preview.
A cash-free bar for a sports club’s tournaments. Each participant gets an NFC badge that works as a prepaid wallet, topped up by card with Tap to Pay or in cash. Volunteers take payments on their phones, the leftover balance is refunded or donated to the club with a tax receipt, and the treasurer follows sales live with a full audit log.
Tennis and padel court booking for several clubs at once. Players see every free slot across all courts, pick a court and pay online in one sheet, and find partners to play with. Club managers get a full back office: courts, opening hours, pricing rules, members and co-admins.
Extensions for website owners, automations, dashboards, data imports and exports, small apps built for a single team. If your problem looks small, that is often the best kind to start with.
