The story
From the bus depot to Google Play.
Why I build these
Nine months ago I came home from a three-week Interrail trip across Europe. Twenty-four hours later I had a seizure.
The doctors said no driving for six months minimum. For a bus driver that meant potentially five years off a PCV licence — possibly ten. I didn't choose to leave work. The choice was made for me.
What followed was the job centre, an AI bootcamp through Breakthrough, and the slow realisation that I could build something instead of waiting for something to come along. I finished the bootcamp with 86/100 — and started making apps that fix problems I'd run into myself.
First SniffCheck, so nobody gets robbed while job hunting. Then Toolwise, so nobody drowns in AI hype. Free, private, and honest. That's the whole idea.
Next up: Salon — an art exhibition planner born from a conversation with my mum. It matches you with exhibitions that resonate with your profile, maps each one's proximity to the next, and adds live transport and directions. In pre-testing now.
