Let's build something together
Whatever you have in mind, let's discuss it.
If you like what I have built here and need help with your own project, I take on freelance work. I work across web development and beyond. From a one-page website to a fully functional web application, no project is too small. I am happy to talk through ideas before committing.
Based in Paisley, Scotland. Most projects are delivered remotely via chat, email, and video calls.
I am the creator of Pure Contrast Tools, a suite of privacy-first utilities designed for the visually impaired. This project was born from personal necessity; my partner and I both live with visual impairments, so I understand that accessibility is not just a checkbox. It is essential.
I bring those same rigorous standards to your project. Whether you need a full website, an accessible web application, a custom API, or a robust data pipeline, I build with a focus on clarity, performance and privacy. If it runs in a browser or on a server, we can talk about it. When you hire me, you get a developer who cares about the details that others ignore.
I operate as a solo developer with zero agency overheads. Working from my home office means you are only paying for my expertise, not for expensive premises or account managers. When your project requires hosting, I utilise highly competitive, EU-regulated virtual private servers rather than bloated enterprise cloud services. I routinely deploy robust, privacy-compliant infrastructure capable of running complex web applications and securely integrating AI capabilities. This approach keeps your infrastructure costs exceptionally low whilst ensuring strict data privacy.
High-visibility digital utilities for visually impaired users. 30+ tools and games, zero ads, zero tracking. Built for clarity and privacy.
