Useful software with a bit of theatre.

I build practical tools that turn public data, routing engines and mobile platforms into things people actually use. The latest is Fuel Finder UK, live on Android and iOS.

Fuel Finder UK turns official data into a driver-ready app.

Live petrol and diesel prices, real iOS and Android apps, route-aware filtering, community reports, vehicle tools and no account required.

01 / live prices

Official CMA data, made visual.

More than 8,000 UK stations with price-coded map markers, fuel filters and fast refreshes.

02 / practical decisions

Find the stop that fits the journey.

Compare nearby prices, switch fuel types, move between map and list, and spot the best available option.

03 / in-car

Fuel prices on the dashboard.

As far as we know, Fuel Finder UK is the first petrol app putting live petrol and diesel prices into both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, with station screens that hand off to in-car navigation.

Helping a local Japanese import car business cut costs and reach more buyers.

Alongside my own apps, I have been helping an up-and-coming local car business compete in a highly competitive car market by applying practical software, cleaner data flows and automation. The work pairs a sharper public website with stock management tools, inbound market feeds and outbound sales-ad feeds that reduce avoidable third-party cost while improving visibility.

Applied efficiency where it matters: cleaner stock workflows, less duplicated admin and fewer paid handoffs between tools.

Improved market data moving in and out: stronger inbound vehicle information and outbound feeds that help sales adverts reach the wider car market.

A practical way to share what I know: find repeatable costs, automate the slow parts, drive more traffic and give the company more room to win.

Website Traffic growth

A stronger public front door built to attract more qualified buyers.

App Stock systems

Turning inventory, enquiries and repeat workflows into a mobile product.

Feeds Market reach

Inbound vehicle data and outbound sales ads without needless third-party friction.

Cost-saving automation

Real roads, real route choices, no movement profile.

The iOS and Android apps ask a Valhalla-backed routing service for up to three real driving routes, then show live fuel stations inside a one-mile corridor either side of the selected route. If the route server is unavailable, the app falls back to a straight-line corridor.

01

Choose a start and destination, then compare route alternatives by time, distance and major roads.

02

Filter station results to the selected road route instead of pretending every cheap station nearby is useful.

03

No account required, no default journey history, and no advertising profile built from route planning.

I like the part where a messy idea becomes a useful thing.

I'm a developer based in Essex, UK with a habit of turning practical problems into finished tools. Fuel Finder UK started from a simple belief: official fuel price data should be in everyone's pocket, not buried in a spreadsheet.

My day job is quantitative analysis at a FTSE 100 financial firm, so data at scale is familiar territory. Outside work, I build mobile apps, automation, data converters and the odd car-adjacent experiment.

Getting live fuel prices onto car dashboards has been one of the more demanding solo projects I have taken on. Fuel Finder UK now spans phones, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, helping drivers compare prices and navigate from the car display.

Small tools, hard problems, useful experiments.
