Case Studies

A selection of projects I've built — from AI-powered platforms and my own products to client work across hospitality, agriculture, e-commerce, and the local community.

Omni Tend — Point-of-Sale & Business Management

Laravel, Vue 3, Stripe, WebSockets, HMRC MTD

Omni Tend is a point-of-sale and business management platform I built originally for my own pub, The Green Dragon. It now serves hospitality, street food, and retail businesses.

The platform handles EPOS, stock and inventory management, online ordering (via a multi-tenant web shop with Stripe Connect), thermal receipt printing, staff management, SMS/email notifications, real-time WebSocket updates, HMRC Making Tax Digital integration for VAT and beer duty returns, and AI-powered sales analysis and reporting.

I also built the supporting infrastructure: a deployment orchestration service for provisioning customer instances, a customer management dashboard, and a server hardening toolkit.

Stack: Laravel 12, Vue 3, MySQL, Redis, Stripe Connect, Pusher/Soketi, DigitalOcean

Dewing Grain — AI Market Analysis

Client project | Laravel, OpenAI Vision, Filament, Livewire

An AI-powered market analysis platform for a grain merchant. The system processes daily grain market reports received by email, extracts structured pricing data using OpenAI's Vision API, and presents it through an admin dashboard built with Filament.

Traders can query the data through an AI chat interface that provides context-aware market summaries and trend analysis, powered by real-time communication via Laravel Reverb.

Stack: Laravel 12, PHP 8.5, Filament 4, Livewire 3, OpenAI API, Laravel Reverb

Own business | Astro, Tailwind, AstroAdmin CMS

The website for my family's CAMRA award-winning pub and brewery in Bungay, Suffolk. Features an events calendar, food and beer menus, and online ordering for food takeaway and beer delivery — all connected to the Omni Tend backend.
