👋 Hey, I'm Anthony

Senior Developer at Lancaster University. I build production systems, AI-powered tools, and...well, all sorts.

2026 is going to be my year of shipping and exploring new tech and ideas. I am aiming to build in public, stream, and create content around development, my workflow and projects as well as AI in general

Currently building:

• 🎲 GMprentice — AI sandbox for practising GMing without a table - currently in beta https://gmprentice.app
• ✨ SPARK - System Planning & Architecture with Reasoning/Knowledge - Solutions Architect as a Service
• 💷 Buy It Once - BuyOnce helps you understand the true value of what you own. Cost-per-year insights, lifespan tracking, and calm replacement decisions.
• 🎥 Dev Influencer Companion - App to help keep track of content, links and code snippets for developer influencers and content creators
• See more at https://lexio.app
• 🛠️ Innovation at Lancaster University (mobile, cloud, AI)

I care about:

• Shipping and iteration over perfection
• Thoughtful AI use (agents, guardrails, cost-aware infra)
• Developer experience and long-lived systems

🔨 What I Work With

Frontend

• Next.js, React, Expo, React Native
• Tailwind, Mantine, shadcn/ui, Tamagui

Backend & Cloud

• AWS (Lambda, DynamoDB, S3, AppSync)
• Azure (OpenAI, DevOps)
• .NET (Aspire, APIs, Agent Framework)
• SST, Vercel

AI / LLMs

• GPT
• Anthropic
• AI SDK
• Voice + real-time systems
• Cost & safety-aware prompting

🧪 How I Work

• Build in public (when I can)
• Prototype fast, refactor often
• Treat AI as a collaborator, not a crutch
