01 · SaaS platform

Optolix

An access-controlled intelligence platform for research and due-diligence work. Social-media scrapers feed structured subject profiles, and Claude, GPT and Gemini do the analysis on top. Vetted users get project workspaces, company-alumni search with CSV import and export, and a gated onboarding flow with admin approval.

  • Registration by request only — admin review, role assignment, branded welcome mail and a forced password change enforced in middleware.
  • Three LLM providers behind one analysis interface, so a model can be swapped without touching the product.
  • Built end to end and deployed to a self-managed VPS behind Nginx with automated certificate renewal.

Retail catalogue sync

A scheduled pipeline that mirrors a major UK retailer's catalogue into a client's Shopify store — thousands of products with their variants, prices, SKUs, weights, stock and images, with no manual step anywhere in the loop.

  • Detects whether each product already exists, compares variants and attributes, then creates or updates through the Shopify Admin GraphQL API.
  • Normalises and cleans source data before it reaches the store, including removal of Shopify's default variant.
  • Runs on a client-defined schedule and scales to thousands of products per run.

Ofsted Reports Data Scraper

Automated extraction and daily synchronisation of UK Ofsted inspection reports into a searchable client database. Eighteen structured fields — judgement ratings, provider details, inspectors, capacity, specialism — parsed straight out of the source PDFs.

  • Date-windowed crawling with startup deduplication, so a daily run never reprocesses what it already has.
  • Writes with upserts rather than inserts — re-running a window is always safe.
  • PDFs in unexpected layouts are logged for review instead of being dropped silently.

05 · Reporting automation

Data centre demand report

A data centre operator assembled their monthly demand-intelligence report by hand — two Excel workbooks, thirty-one sheets between them, copied and reconciled into a branded document over a full day, with the mistakes only surfacing after it had gone out. It is now a single run. A config-driven Python pipeline reads both workbooks, normalises and aggregates them, and renders a fully branded PDF of charts, summary panels and ranked contact tables.

charts generated per run
  • Sheet names, column mappings and every derivation rule — deduplication, the contacts-per-account cap, seniority ranking, the competitor list, the country-to-continent map — live in YAML. Layout and data sources change without touching code.
  • Charts and tables are rendered from the same aggregated frames, so no figure is transcribed twice and the two cannot drift apart.
  • Each workbook is identified by its sheet names, so the month's files can be handed over in any order or as a folder. Anything ambiguous stops the run with a message rather than producing a plausible wrong report.
  • Packaged with a simple GUI as a standalone Windows executable — no Python install on the client's machine.

06 · Automation

US Department of Labor job feed

A recruitment client needed federal seasonal job orders the day they were published. The system parses the government's job-order PDFs on a daily schedule and loads each new role into their Monday.com CRM through an automated ETL workflow — no one opens a PDF, and nothing is entered by hand.
