What I build
Software for education and elearning
Enrolment and payments

Learner and instructor dashboards

School and training admin tools
Timetables, attendance, fees and communication in one internal tool instead of spreadsheets.
Content libraries
Video, documents and resources organised, searchable and protected from download.
AI, right now
Where AI genuinely helps
Learning platforms are converging: structured courses, live cohorts and AI help in one place, with learners expecting the polish of consumer apps. Guides for 2026 point to AI tutoring and analytics as the fastest-growing expectations, alongside the basics of enrolment, payments and progress tracking.
I haven’t built for an education client yet, so I won’t pretend otherwise. What I bring is the same building blocks I’ve shipped for real clients, shown below.
A tutor on your own material
Learners ask questions and get answers drawn from your course content, with the source linked, so it teaches your way.
Practice questions and feedback
AI drafts practice questions and first-pass feedback, which instructors review before learners see it.
Lessons into resources
Recordings turned into transcripts, summaries and study notes learners can search.
Early help for struggling learners
Flags learners who have stopped engaging so an instructor can step in.

Call
A 30-minute call about what you need, who it is for, and what success looks like.
Scope
A written scope: features, architecture, timeline, price range and risks.
Build
Working increments you can click through, not a big reveal at the end.
Ship
Live on your domain and hosting, with a handover so you know how it runs.

Questions
Common questions
Should we use an existing LMS or build our own?
If a standard LMS does what you need, use it. A custom platform makes sense when you sell courses as a business, need your own enrolment and pricing, want AI built on your own material, or are building an EdTech product.
Can AI tutoring give wrong answers?
It can if it answers from general knowledge. Built on retrieval from your own material, with sources shown and a set of test questions, it stays grounded in what you teach.
Do you build for EdTech startups?
Yes. An EdTech MVP is the same kind of build as any SaaS MVP: accounts, roles, payments and the core learning workflow, shipped in weeks.
How much does it cost?
A focused first version is a fixed-price project, scoped and priced after a 30-minute call (MVPs start from $3,000). Ongoing work can run on a monthly retainer.
Building a course platform or EdTech product?
A 30-minute call is enough to tell whether it fits, what the first version should include, and how long it takes.
