AI-first engineering. Enterprise-grade delivery.

Designed and built MYTRADEBARGAINS, a UK price and product search platform for trade professionals, from an empty repository to a live product earning affiliate revenue from launch day in May 2026. Founding engineer within a small commercial team, across a Python serverless API, multiple Next.js applications, Postgres with pgvector, and a Fargate pipeline that refreshes the full catalogue nightly. Search combines keyword matching with LLM embeddings, so a query finds the right products even when the wording differs, and the same pipeline categorises products and enriches supplier profiles automatically. Also built the admin and operational tooling the business runs on, and the engineering harness behind the AI-assisted workflow itself - written standards, isolated workstreams and deploy locking.
