Paul Wheatcroft

I'm an AI-first full-stack engineer with over four years of commercial experience, built on a decade in IT service management and leadership. That gives me a rare combination of hands-on engineering and deep commercial understanding, having spent years working closely with business processes and stakeholders before moving into product development.

I operate at the intersection of product, design, and code, building web applications end-to-end. Modern AI tooling, including Cursor and LLM-assisted TDD, helps me move quickly without compromising quality, but the user always comes first. I enjoy taking ideas from early ambiguity through to shipped features that deliver real business value.

My background shapes how I build: I prioritise clarity, reliability, and maintainability, and I take full ownership from discovery to production. Recently I've focused on Vue/TypeScript frontends and Python/Django backends, with a growing interest in prototyping and iterating on AI-powered user experiences.

My experience in software spans the public sector, health services, and legal tech.
