Sahadh Fazal Mohamed

Cofounded a UK studio building websites, apps, bespoke software, third party integrations, HR and operations systems for growing businesses. I led engineering; my cofounder led design and brand.

• Built and shipped a multi-site franchise operations platform covering sales, labour, expenses and compliance.
• Delivered an HR mobile application with one structured record per employee, tracking right-to-work, visas and document expiries.
• Client project (TRUKBK): engineered a hallucination-resistant AI sales concierge on a custom RAG pipeline with vector embeddings and cosine similarity search (Supabase pgvector) and Google Gemini for generation, with a 2-layer fallback preventing customer-facing errors.
• Connected existing point-of-sale systems to mobile apps and reporting, so businesses keep the till they already use while data flows into one place.

Stack: Python, TypeScript, React, React Native, Flask, PostgreSQL, Docker, plus LLM and vector database integration.

Engaged as a freelance software engineer to build a booking platform from scratch for a UK community travel operator, replacing a manual booking and reconciliation process.

• Architected a full-stack platform on a serverless pnpm monorepo (React 19, Vite 7, Express v5), choosing serverless specifically to keep hosting costs low for an early-stage business.
• Built a type-safe, end-to-end automated booking pipeline, so a booking made on the site required no manual intervention to process.
• Integrated Stripe with automated payment reconciliation, cutting administrative overhead by 15% by removing manual end-of-period checking.
• Built an interactive trip discovery carousel and custom search widgets, and modelled the data layer in PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM.

• Built PhatOps, an operations app covering rostering, inventory and expense tracking, used daily by 20 staff across 4 branches, with rollout planned for 16 further sites.
• Worked directly alongside the staff to source requirements, identifying where orders were lost, delayed or mismatched between kitchen and till instead of assuming the problem from outside.
• Architected it in React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS and Supabase with real time sync, and cut rendering latency by 20% through optimised reusable components and tuned subscriptions.
• Designed the PhatOps screens in Figma and carried out market research and brand reputation work for PHAT Buns.

Elected by my cohort to represent their interests to course leaders and academic staff, gathering feedback on teaching, module content and course delivery and raising it through formal university channels.

• Ran regular feedback sessions with students and consolidated concerns into clear, prioritised points for staff meetings, rather than passing on complaints unfiltered.
• Acted as the first point of contact for coursemates settling into university life, helping new students navigate deadlines, module choices and where to get support.
• Followed up on raised issues to confirm they were actually addressed, rather than treating the meeting itself as the outcome.

My first role in the UK, working directly alongside the staff of an international supermarket on its supplier, invoice and stock data.

• Processed 16 to 20 supplier invoices a week in Excel, covering data entry, validation and reconciliation against incoming deliveries.
• Flagged discrepancies between ordered and delivered quantities before payment went out, protecting payment dates and correct supplier routing.
• Produced routine stock and invoice summaries and weekly reconciliation reporting for management.
• U-Shop later became an Artim Labs client, and I went on to build their ERP and HR system.
