Every project has a before, an after, and a number.
The QA team was spending 4–6 hours per day parsing test failures — stack traces, root cause analysis, PR write-ups. I built a GitHub Actions pipeline that feeds failure data to Claude Sonnet 4, classifies root causes automatically, generates precise fix PRs for mechanical failures, and sends an AI-enriched Slack summary with PR link. All in 21 seconds of added CI time at £0.08 per run.

Client needed a way for restaurant guests to upload photos and videos from their visit without downloading an app. Built a QR-driven web experience: customers scan, upload directly to the restaurant's Google Drive, and spin a prize wheel to win a menu item. Mobile-optimised, no login required.

Straightforward. Fast. Documented at every stage.
You describe the problem. I ask questions. No pitch. We figure out if there's a fit and what the right approach is.
Specific deliverables, exact timeline, fixed price. You know what you're getting and what it costs before signing anything.
Contract signed, deposit received. I start immediately. Weekly updates every Friday. You always know where things stand.
Full deliverables plus documentation you can actually use. Your team can operate everything without needing me around.
Most clients continue with a monthly retainer for ongoing improvements, new workflows, and maintenance. 30-day notice to cancel.
I'm Zaki — an engineer who builds things and measures the outcomes. I spent 4 years at ev.energy progressing from Engineering Intern to QA Automation Lead, shipping production AI systems with documented ROI.
I run ZTS Consulting as a solo technical operator. That means you work directly with the person doing the work — not an account manager passing tickets to a junior developer.
When I'm not consulting, I'm building: Buildrr is a live UK trade jobs marketplace, Vylex is a SaaS platform in beta, and Visuals by Zaki has 10M+ views across platforms.
Send me a message describing what you're working on. I'll reply within 24 hours and we can set up a 30-minute call to see if there's a fit. No commitment.
