Greetings! Alex here - a London-based UX/UI Designer, Full Stack Developer, and AI-focused product builder. I design, build, and optimise digital products with AI embedded across the full lifecycle - from research, UX, and interface design to development, automation, project delivery, and internal tooling. I also build custom AI solutions for my own workflows and help businesses implement AI in ways that are practical, commercially useful, and technically sound. My work sits at the intersection of product thinking, full-stack execution, and applied AI. That includes everything from AI-assisted delivery and automation to more advanced AI development such as RAG systems, LLM integrations, fine-tuning workflows, machine learning implementation, and custom AI-powered product features. Why work with me: • Expert-vetted professional trusted to deliver high-impact work across design, development, and AI-led execution • Top-Rated Plus with a strong track record of shipping thoughtful user experiences and reliable technical solutions • Among the top 1% in design and development, with AI deeply integrated into how I work and what I build • 99% of clients rate my work 5/5, reflecting consistent quality across strategy, execution, and communication What sets me apart: I combine design, engineering, and AI implementation in one end-to-end approach. 1. AI-enhanced design - I use AI to accelerate research, explore UX directions faster, test concepts, support content thinking, and improve design workflows without losing human judgement. 2. AI-supported development - I use AI across architecture, implementation, debugging, optimisation, QA thinking, and documentation to move faster while maintaining technical quality. 3. AI product development - I help build AI-native features and products, including chat experiences, AI assistants, internal copilots, recommendation flows, knowledge systems, and automation tools. 4. LLM and RAG expertise - I work with retrieval-augmented generation systems, document-aware AI workflows, vector-based search, prompt architecture, context pipelines, and knowledge-grounded assistants. 5. Machine learning and fine-tuning - I understand how to approach model selection, fine-tuning workflows, dataset preparation, evaluation logic, feedback loops, and practical ML implementation where it genuinely adds value. 6. AI for operations and project management - I apply AI to planning, task structuring, documentation, QA workflows, communication, and internal process efficiency. 7. Custom AI tooling - I develop my own AI-powered tools and workflows and help others create bespoke AI systems tailored to their teams, products, and business models. 8. Holistic execution - design, engineering, AI, and delivery are handled as one connected system, reducing friction and improving outcomes. Clear communication, transparency, and quick responsiveness remain central to how I work. AI improves the process - it does not replace ownership, thinking, or quality control. What you’ll get from me: • UX/UI design shaped by product thinking and accelerated by AI-assisted workflows • Full-stack development with strong technical foundations and modern delivery methods • Practical AI integration into products, operations, and internal workflows • Support with RAG systems, LLM-based features, fine-tuning direction, ML-related implementation, and AI automation • End-to-end ownership from discovery and prototyping through to development, launch, and iteration Technical toolbox: UX/UI & Product Design • Figma, Sketch, Adobe XD, InVision • Wireframing, prototyping, user flows, usability testing • AI-assisted design exploration, research synthesis, and workflow acceleration Frontend Development • React.js, Next.js, Vue.js, JavaScript (ES6+), TypeScript • HTML5, CSS3, Tailwind, BEM, jQuery Backend Development • Node.js, Express, Python, Django, DRF, PHP, Laravel, Ruby on Rails • REST APIs, GraphQL • Backend architecture for AI features, automations, and internal tools AI Development • LLM integrations and AI application development • RAG systems and document-aware assistants • Prompt engineering and context orchestration • Fine-tuning workflows and evaluation thinking • Machine learning implementation and applied AI use cases • AI automation and workflow design • Custom AI tools and internal copilots Databases & Infrastructure • PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis • Vector-friendly data and knowledge pipeline thinking • AWS, DigitalOcean, Docker, Jenkins, Nginx Let’s build products and systems that are not only well designed and technically strong, but also smarter, faster, and more valuable through the right use of AI.

Dingwall, United Kingdom
I specialise in challenging go-to-market projects, designing and developing devices, circuits and software where the assumptions are yet to be tested and specifications are early phase. Over 20 years I have delivered deep tech programmes for the MOD, NHS and delivered into clients including Abbott, J&J, PALL, and Fujifilm. My training in sensors, electronic circuit design, biochemistry and embedded AI edge systems will guide rapid progress. My PhD focused on machine learning of receptor structures for biosensing applications, combining electronics design, computational modelling of biological systems, and sensor development. Clients often arrive with an early-phase concept, a market need, and a scope that is unclear. My first job is to identify which assumptions actually matter, design the experiments that test them, and produce a proof of concept with real evidence behind it. For teams past that point, I take that foundation through full hardware development to a compliant, market-ready device with all the certificates of conformity. I build first prototypes in-house using my own prototyping equipment, without the cost or lead times of an external build house. I design and review electronic circuits and schematics, lay out PCBs in Altium Designer and KiCad, develop embedded firmware in C and C++, design and prototype wearables from concept through to enclosure in SolidWorks, and prepare the regulatory evidence required for CE marking, UKCA, and EU MDR submissions.
