I started on the infrastructure side — Windows Server, Active Directory and Exchange for a stock exchange, insurers, agri-food and automotive groups. Fixing other people's systems at 2am is a good education in what to build.
Since 2021 I've been writing them instead: a group-insurance core rewrite, the Group Member Care app in Flutter, and now web and application modules on Azure as a senior developer at PTT Digital Solutions. The work is usually less about new features than about making the second year of a system survivable.
On the side I ship small things end to end — a Bitcoin block clock, a gold-portfolio tracker, a running-form analyser, a multiplayer deduction game — mostly to keep the deploy-to-production muscle working. Outside working hours I also build and run Prompt Plus Accounting (freelance) and four live Crafnia web products.
