Get your time back. I build the software that runs the busywork for you.
I'm Jamie — a senior engineer who works with you directly. I build websites, automation, and AI that take the admin off your plate, then keep working as you grow.
Start with what's slowing you down.
Most people come to me with one of three problems. Tell me which one sounds like you — I'll show you what I'd do about it.
The repetitive admin that eats your week — invoices, follow-ups, data copied between tools — handled by software, so your hours go back to your customers.
A website that actually brings in enquiries and gets picked up by Google and AI assistants — designed, written, hosted, and kept current by one person.
A web app or system built properly around how you work — fast, documented, and yours to keep, with someone technical steering it all the way to launch.
Not sure AI is even worth it for you? Ask me — I'll be straight with you.
A few things I've shipped.
Case studies of real projects — the problem, what I did, and the result.
Simple, and no surprises.
Three steps from your first message to a working result.
- 1
We talk
You tell me what you're trying to do, in plain words. I ask a few questions and tell you honestly whether I'm the right person to help.
- 2
You get a fixed quote
A clear scope and a clear price before anything starts — usually with options, so you pick what fits your budget. No hidden line items.

I build it
You deal with the person writing the code, so decisions are quick. You stay in the loop, and the finished work is yours to keep — no lock-in.
The things people usually ask.
Do I need to understand any of the tech?
No — that's my job. I explain things in plain language, tell you what matters and what doesn't, and never hide behind jargon.
What will it cost?
My standard rate is €120/hour, but most work is quoted as a fixed price for the scope — with options — so you know the number before we start.
What if I want changes later?
Changes are a normal conversation, not a surprise charge. Everything's built on clean, documented foundations, so later changes stay cheap.
Will I be locked in?
No. The work is yours to keep — the code, the accounts, and the documentation. If we ever part ways, you or another developer can pick it straight up.
How soon will you reply?
Within a day or two — with a few questions or, if it's a fit, a way forward. No hard sell.
A senior engineer you can actually reach.
I'm Jamie Nisbet, a software engineer and AI consultant based in Portugal. I've spent years building for the web, and I now design AI systems built to run for the long term — documented and built to scale, not demos that break a month later.
I work as a small shop on purpose. You deal with the person writing the code, so decisions are quick and nothing gets lost in translation. For bigger builds I bring in trusted contractors — you keep the responsiveness and gain the capacity. If something's a bad idea, I'll tell you.
