Senior Software Engineer
A three-month backend engagement on an AI voice product for a UK home-services marketplace — unfamiliar in-house tooling, ambiguous AI-generated data, and every piece of work documented as it landed.
Read moreBOOKR is a booking and CRM platform that helps businesses manage appointments and customer relationships. I joined as an engineer, and I am now a shareholder who still contributes to product direction and code alongside contract work. A big part of the early role was making the product flexible enough to serve different clients without fragmenting the codebase.
Key Contributions
- Design system — built the component library that became the foundation for UI development across the platform
- Cross-platform foundations — worked across Spring Boot APIs, React web, and React Native mobile from one shared design language
- Ongoing ownership — continue to shape product direction and ship code as a shareholder
Technical Stack
- Backend: Java, Spring Boot
- Frontend: React, TypeScript
- Mobile: React Native
- Cloud: AWS
- DevOps: Docker, CI/CD pipelines
Why It Mattered
A booking product lives or dies on how consistent it feels across web and mobile. Building the design system first meant new features arrived on both without being designed twice, and it is still what the product is built on.
