Software that ships, and keeps shipping.
From early-stage MVPs to production platforms, I help startups and businesses design, build, and launch software that solves real problems. Full-stack delivery, AI integration, and the engineering judgement to know what to build next.
Real projects, real outcomes
A sample of the products and platforms I've helped design, build and ship.
Union Hardware
E-commerce app · JamTech contract
The brief. Union Hardware sold through a traditional website, but their customers wanted to buy the way they actually shop: fast, repeat, and from their phone.
What I did. I transformed their website into a full e-commerce mobile app with product browsing, cart and checkout, recurring orders, and live in-app support.
→ The app now powers most of Union Hardware's customer purchases.
Chai Co
Brand e-commerce site · JamTech contract
The brief. Chai Co is a chai drinks brand selling at markets and events. They needed an online home that matched the brand and let customers buy direct.
What I did. I designed and built chaico.uk, a fast, mobile-first storefront carrying the brand's playful identity, the full product range and online ordering.
→ From market stalls to a live online store at chaico.uk.
Muslim Tech Fest
Event platform · JamTech contract
The brief. Muslim Tech Fest is Europe's largest Muslim tech gathering: thousands of attendees, investors and founders in one room, with serious operational demands.
What I did. I built their backend infrastructure and customer-facing apps, including the in-app event guide for schedules, sessions and on-the-day logistics.
→ Infrastructure and apps for Europe's largest Muslim tech gathering.
AnyVan
Software Developer · 2025 – present
The brief. Build and improve product features for the UK's largest logistics marketplace, connecting millions of customers with transport providers across the UK and Europe.
What I did. Shipped customer-facing features across a modern React / TypeScript / Java stack on AWS, with a focus on platform reliability and a smoother booking experience.
SourceID
Senior Frontend & Product · 2023 – 2025
The brief. Lead frontend and product for an AI-driven identity platform automating KYC/KYB compliance, address verification and AML screening.
What I did. Owned the product UI and roadmap, turning complex compliance flows into onboarding that businesses could actually get through without sacrificing regulatory rigour.
Sainsbury's
Software Engineer · Daemon · 2021 – 2024
The brief. Deliver digital-transformation work for major UK enterprises, including the Sainsbury's Groceries Online platform, at award-winning consultancy Daemon.
What I did. Built and maintained cloud and front-end features on a high-traffic grocery platform, contributing to work that earned Daemon recognition from Sainsbury's.
Fether Labs
Full-stack Developer · 2020 – 2021
The brief. Develop software for an Imperial College London spinout building wrist-worn sensors that translate hand gestures into digital commands.
What I did. Worked across full-stack and embedded systems to support proprietary mechanotendography tech for robotics, VR and human-computer interaction.
Young Westminster Foundation
Data Analyst & Trustee · 2017 – present
The brief. Support an organisation that has distributed over £1.7m to youth organisations across Westminster, addressing violence, unemployment, and education.
What I did. Long-term involvement as Data Analyst and Trustee, using data to guide where funding and support have the most impact for young people.
Engineering across the full stack
One person who can take a product from a whiteboard to a live, monitored system, without the overhead of assembling a whole team before you've validated the idea.
Web applications
Responsive, accessible product front-ends in React & TypeScript, built to convert and built to maintain.
APIs & backend systems
Robust services, data models and integrations using Node, Java and the cloud plumbing that holds it all together.
AI integrations
LLM features, RAG pipelines and AI-assisted workflows wired into real products, not demos that never ship.
Production infrastructure
CI/CD, monitoring, testing and cloud setup so what you ship stays up, stays observable and stays safe to change.
MVP development
Get a credible, usable first version in front of real users fast, then iterate from evidence, not opinion.
SaaS platforms
Multi-tenant products with auth, billing and dashboards: the unglamorous foundations that make a SaaS sellable.
Modern, boring-in-the-good-way technology, chosen to last.
A clear path from idea to production
Discovery
Understand your problem, users, and constraints. Define what to build and why.
Build
Design and develop iteratively. Ship working software early and refine from real feedback.
Ship
Deploy to production with monitoring, testing, and documentation in place.
Support
Ongoing maintenance, feature development, and technical guidance as your product grows.
Engagements that fit where you are
Every project is scoped to your goals. Here are the shapes that work best, and we'll find the right fit on a call.
MVP Sprint
A focused engagement to take one core idea from concept to a usable, demoable product real users can try.
- Scoped to a single, validated core flow
- Weekly demos, deployed environment
- Handover docs and a clear roadmap
Fractional Engineering
Senior engineering capacity on a recurring basis, for teams that need to ship but aren't ready to hire full-time.
- Embedded in your workflow and standups
- Feature delivery + technical direction
- Flexible monthly commitment
Full Project Build
A complete product or platform delivered end-to-end, from discovery through launch and into ongoing support.
- Architecture, build, QA and deployment
- Production infra, monitoring and tests
- Optional ongoing support package
Technical Partner
A senior engineer in your corner for code review, architecture calls and hiring help without writing all the code.
- Architecture and code review
- Vendor and tooling decisions
- Technical hiring support
Jamil Uddin
Software engineer & product builder
I help startups and businesses design, build and launch high-impact software. With a decade across startups, scale-ups and complex engineering environments, I bring hands-on engineering judgement to every project, not just code.
Have a project? Let's talk.
Whether you need an MVP, a production system, or ongoing engineering support, I'd love to hear what you're building. A 30-minute discovery call is the easiest way to start.
