I build the data systems health and human-rights organisations run on.

Production software — scoring engines, dashboards, data platforms — built and maintained for institutions that can't afford enterprise vendors and won't trust dev shops that don't understand the mission.

How I Work

A Process Built for Reliability

No surprises. No scope creep. Every project follows a proven 6-step framework that keeps us aligned from kickoff to launch.

Discovery & Planning

Kickoff call to understand your programme goals and data needs. Requirements gathering, technical architecture proposal, project timeline, and contract.

02Week 2

Design & Prototyping

Wireframes, user flow diagrams, database schema design, and API endpoint planning. Review and feedback session with your team before any code is written.

03Weeks 3–10

Development

Iterative development in 2-week sprints. Weekly progress updates, staging environment for continuous testing, and documented code throughout.

04Week 11

Testing & QA

Comprehensive testing (unit, integration, E2E), performance optimisation, security audit, and user acceptance testing with your team.

05Week 12

Deployment & Launch

Production deployment, monitoring setup, training documentation, and 2 weeks of post-launch support included.

06Optional

Ongoing Support

Monthly retainer for maintenance, bug fixes, feature enhancements, security updates, and performance monitoring.

Partnership

Working With Me

I work with health and human-rights institutions that need a developer who understands both the technical work and the mission context. Most organisations in this space have been let down by generalist dev shops that don't know the difference between an M&E dashboard and a general analytics tool — or who can't communicate with programme staff in their own language.

I bring production engineering and genuine sector knowledge to the same engagement. I build the system, I maintain it, and I'm still reachable when something breaks before a funder report.

Let's Talk

Every engagement starts with a discovery call. No commitment required — just enough time to understand what you're building and whether I'm the right person for it.
