I lead the team at a tax consultancy. Somewhere along the way I also started building small websites for people who needed one.
150+
clients I handled, from growing businesses to large enterprises. Three years in, most of the surprises are gone.
Not glamorous work, but I'd rather get it right the first time than explain a mess later.
I never advertised it, it just kept happening. I build with HTML and CSS, and a bit of PHP or Python when a project needs it. No framework just because it's trendy.
The firm's website (opens ajassociatesonline.com). I lead the team there. It starts by asking visitors what their situation is and points them to the right service, with pages for industries, how we work, FAQs and client reviews, plus a direct enquiry form and WhatsApp.
I designed and built it myself. I know the firm well enough to know what it actually needs to tell people.
Room for the next one. Could be yours.
Start a projectI wire things up for fun. If you want one of these at your place, I'll build it for you.
The build I trust most. It watches the overhead tank and the ground sump, and it won't run the pump if the sump is too low. I made it after pumps kept burning out from running dry.
It reads the colours at the edges of my monitor and throws matching light onto the wall behind it. I built it because the cheap kits were laggy, or needed an app that phoned home to some server I didn't trust.
A desk diffuser that notices when you walk into the room and turns itself on. Still a work in progress, and I want to add proper smart-home pairing.
It follows sunrise and sunset on its own and wakes up for movement at night, so it's never on all afternoon or dark when someone's walking up to the gate.
Also on the bench: a 5.1 theatre that tunes itself and projects for students. See them all
