Our work

Thirty-six projects,told without the names.

The work we've designed, built and supported since 2012, described honestly and anonymously. Photography is illustrative.

Why no names or screenshots? Some of these relationships have ended, and a public client list makes those organisations a target for phishing and impersonation. We'd rather describe the work honestly than put our existing or former clients at risk. References are available on request.

EdTech SaaS platform connecting international applicants with students already at UK universities

Two years of work for a London EdTech company. Prospective students overseas are matched with current UK university students who speak their language and study their course, for advice before any formal application. A by-product became the second half of the platform: a university portal showing a pool of applications with academic data only, personal and ethnic details hidden, so admissions decisions are made without bias, with an agent portal for applying on behalf of clients. Built on Python and Django.

Telemedicine platform and mobile apps connecting patients with specialist consultants

Built before the pandemic, when almost nobody was doing it. Patients search specialists, book and pay for a video consultation; consultants manage availability, notes and follow-ups. A web application plus iOS and Android apps, published on the App Store and Google Play. Designed the traditional way: requirements in writing, sketches on paper, draw.io wireframes, Figma prototypes, then implementation across every user type and platform.

Bespoke electronic health records system for a multi-site clinic on a Caribbean island

Delivered in one year after the clinic's COVID testing platform proved we could be trusted with their data. We visited the island several times to sit with every member of staff, from reception to radiology, and map what other systems had got wrong. The result is a single EHR across multiple locations with role-based access for patients, doctors, nurses and administrators: appointments, quotes and invoices, vitals, visit summaries, X-ray, ultrasound, ophthalmology, laboratory, pharmacy, inventory and stock, and financial and clinical reporting. It also reconciles claims with the national health scheme, so the money the government owes the clinic for treating its members is tracked and settled automatically.

COVID-19 testing, payments and travel certificates for a clinic on a Caribbean island

During the pandemic, tourists and residents needed PCR, NAAT and antigen tests with results they could show at an airport. We built the booking site, then a bespoke payment gateway on PlugnPay because neither PayPal nor Stripe operated on the island. Results and health data sit behind tiered access control, and each certificate carries a QR code that airport authorities scan to confirm validity before travel. It was hard, it was urgent, and it worked, which is why the clinic came back for their EHR.

The pattern

Almost every projectstarted with a websiteand grew.

A CRM behind the enquiry form. A learning platform behind the course page. A hosting migration when the old server fell over. One team that can do the next thing, so you don't start again with a new supplier.
