About
Who builds your project and how I work
Built and delivered by Abdirahman Ahmed — you work directly with the developer, not an account manager.
Who
A solo software practice
NorthIRdev is a software development practice based in Northern Ireland, owned and delivered by Abdirahman Ahmed. I help service businesses build modern, practical digital products — especially booking systems, client portals, and business automation.
You work directly with me on every project — not a hand-off to an account manager or a rotating agency team.
I work across the stack: Next.js and TypeScript for the web, Python and FastAPI for APIs, and PostgreSQL for data. When the problem demands it, I go deeper into systems work.
Why
Direct, technical delivery
Businesses need software that fits how they actually operate, not a generic template or a quote that disappears into a ticket queue. I started NorthIRdev to offer direct, technical delivery: you describe the problem, we agree scope and payment in writing, and I build what we agreed.
I also use this site as a reference build — inquiry flow, API-backed pricing, admin review, email alerts, monitoring, and CI — so you can see how I ship, not only what I claim on a slide.
After delivery
Support when you need it
Launch is not the end of the relationship. Post-go-live fixes, small enhancements, and maintenance can be quoted separately once the original scope is delivered. Larger portal builds can include an agreed defect-fix window when scoped upfront. Advisory and change work is available at £600/day.
Common starting points: a site that never generated leads, tools that do not connect, or a freelancer who disappeared mid-build — see work for how I approach booking, charity, and platform-style problems.
What
Client services, with a free diagram product
NorthIRdev is a client services business:
- You choose an engagement — Discovery, Website, Automation, Portal — or send a custom inquiry.
- We agree scope in writing before paid work starts. Milestone payments follow the written agreement.
- I deliver the agreed work — websites, portals, APIs, integrations — with clear communication and revisions included on standard builds.
Reference builds on the home page and work show how I ship. NorthIRdev Diagrams is a free builder tool on this site. The core offer remains client services: scoped software delivery, clear communication, and handover.
