I'm Jake Henshall — an end-to-end engineer who ships production systems, not silos.
I take vague, messy ideas and turn them into reliable, observable, boring-to-run systems.
I work across CMS, backend, automation, and infrastructure — choosing tools based on the problem, not the trend — and I own work from first sketch to production and beyond.
What I'm strongest at
End-to-end systems
CMS → backend → automation → deployment, owned by one person.
Fewer handoffs, fewer surprises, less long-term pain.
Backend & automation
Laravel, Filament, APIs, Python, Go, background jobs, and AI used where it actually helps — not where it looks impressive.
CMS done properly
WordPress and Craft CMS that are fast, maintainable, and editor-friendly — without turning into fragile, over-engineered messes.
