The mirror image of last week. The new clinical canine massage practice took the bulk of it — thirty-seven items, from signed paperwork through a scaffolded repository and provisioned cloud to a working, tested contact pipeline — while the internal platform's modelling advanced and the retained clients were quietly kept.

A building week, and mostly out of sight. The internal quantitative sports-analytics platform took the bulk of it — twenty-six items, from data ingestion through modelling to a working execution service — while a new client engagement's foundations were laid and the retained clients quietly tended.
Closing week. The company-website infrastructure programme reached its formal end — DNS authority returned to GoDaddy, legacy hosting cancelled, observation closed — while a new local-client engagement began the right way, with foundations before code.
The week after. Phase 7 closed as an epic, telemetry sharpened, uptime watched from the outside, mirrors and archives put in place — and an enterprise e-commerce go-live entered its post-cutover hyper-care phase.
Launch week. Two production go-lives in seven days — the new company website went live at thecodeabides.co.uk, and an enterprise e-commerce platform reached its own cutover milestone alongside.
Two long-running engineering arcs converging in the same seven days — a new company website on Azure built feature-complete, and an enterprise e-commerce client cutover commenced. Forty-nine items to Done across three projects.
A quieter week, by design. The headline activity was unglamorous and important — a comprehensive npm package upgrade sweep across five Node.js microservices, kept on cadence as a matter of supply-chain hygiene.
Five active projects, including the kick-off of a new internal initiative — a quantitative sports analytics platform moved from idea to scaffolded codebase, with progress alongside on greenfield development, enterprise e-commerce, and client IT.
A founding week. The full application scaffold for a bespoke web platform came together on a .NET 10 / C# 14 stack with Onion Architecture across five projects, and the CI pipeline that will carry the work was wired up alongside.
