Claude Code
For deep codebase exploration, considered implementation work, refactoring and maintaining context across larger engineering tasks.
Independent developer · Lincolnshire, UK
Native mobile apps, built with care and commercial experience.
I’m Paul Ledger, a freelance developer combining decades of engineering experience with Claude Code, Codex and Cursor to deliver dependable iOS, Android, web and cloud products efficiently.
About
Decades of engineering experience, amplified by AI.
I’ve been creating apps since the Apple App Store opened and have delivered more than 35 applications for clients and my own company. Today I combine that experience with an AI-native workflow using Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.
These tools help me understand existing codebases, explore solutions, implement focused changes and verify work faster. They don’t replace engineering judgement—they remove routine friction so more time goes into architecture, product quality and the user experience.
My technical work spans native Swift and Objective-C for Apple platforms, Kotlin and Java for Android, plus C#, .NET, SQL Server and Azure for the services behind them.
AI-assisted development
Experienced judgement, accelerated by modern coding tools.
I use AI as an active engineering partner: exploring codebases, testing ideas, implementing focused changes and removing repetitive work while retaining human review and responsibility for every outcome.
OpenAI Codex
For agentic development workflows: turning defined goals into reviewed code changes, verification and clear delivery stages.
Cursor
For fast, in-editor iteration, targeted code assistance and keeping development momentum during day-to-day implementation.
The result: faster investigation and delivery, with architecture, security, testing and product decisions still guided by professional engineering judgement.

Road Speed Calibrator
An iPhone app that turns roadside video into transparent, reviewable speed estimates using timestamp-accurate tracking and perspective-aware road calibration.
Created as an independent project during OpenAI Build Week, with Codex and GPT-5.6 used as an engineering collaborator throughout the SwiftUI build, testing and evidence workflow.
- Uses actual video frame timestamps rather than assumed frame rates
- Calibrates the road plane with a top-down perspective view
- Produces visible vehicle trails, calculation summaries and evidence exports
Designed for indicative, evidence-led speed assessment—not certified enforcement.
