Explore & Prototype
Testing ideas, technical approaches and early product concepts before committing to a larger build.
Proofs of concept, prototypes, technical exploration and early-stage product development.
Software engineering & technology consulting
Building software.
Thinking beyond it.
I help turn ideas and unclear technical problems into working software — from prototypes and experiments to production features and longer consulting assignments.
What I do
From unclear idea
to something that works.
I help people and teams explore ideas, solve technical problems and turn them into useful software. Sometimes that means building from scratch. Sometimes it means figuring out what is worth building first.
Build & Improve
Turning promising ideas into working software, or helping an existing product become more useful.
Web applications, backend systems, features, integrations and internal tools.
Technical Consulting
Helping make sense of technical problems, evaluate possible approaches and move projects forward.
Short projects, technical investigations and longer assignments within existing teams.
About
Engineer by trade.
Curious by nature.
I'm Sara, a software engineer and the person behind Agile Valley.
I've worked across startups, consultancies and large international organisations, on everything from backend systems and web applications to conversational AI, cloud platforms and connected devices.
I enjoy the part of technology where the answer isn't obvious yet: understanding a problem, trying an approach and turning an idea into something concrete enough to use, test and improve.
Agile Valley gives me a place to do that independently — through focused projects, technical exploration and longer consulting assignments.
Experience
Different problems.
Different environments.
I've worked across startups, consultancies and large international organisations, often moving between very different technologies, domains and ways of working.
Startups & product teams
Small teams, conversational AI, early product development and the kind of environment where everyone ends up wearing several hats.
Consulting & large organisations
Client work across different industries, from focused consulting projects to complex international organisations with many teams and stakeholders.
Web, cloud & connected systems
Backend systems, web applications, cloud platforms, internal tools, connected devices, sensors and integrations.
Exploration through to production
Research projects, prototypes and technical investigations alongside software used in established production environments.
Experience includes roles with Tengai, Stratiteq, Sigma Technology and Capgemini, with assignments involving organisations such as Apple and IKEA / Ingka.
Contact
Have something
interesting to work on?
If you have an idea to explore, a technical problem that needs untangling, or a project that could use another pair of experienced hands, get in touch.
