AleCodex is the independent software practice of Alexander Fountain — an AI software engineer building custom applications, websites, eCommerce stores and automation for businesses that need real results, not billable hours.
# Listing pipeline — 400 products, unattended

await publish(catalogue.pending(limit=400))Custom applications, websites and stores built to fit how you actually work.
Shopify, payment providers, ERPs and APIs — talking to each other, automatically.
Sensible auth, secrets handling, backups and logging baked in from day one.
Handover docs, monitoring and a real person on the other end of the phone.
You brief the person who writes the code. That removes the account managers, the telephone game, and most of the reasons software projects go sideways.
Bespoke tools, internal systems and desktop or server applications built around your process instead of forcing you into someone else's.
Fast, accessible, search-friendly websites and web apps — from a sharp brochure site to a full customer portal with logins and live data.
Shopify builds, migrations and deep customisation — plus the catalogue automation that stops product listing eating your week.
LLM-powered workflows that remove the repetitive middle of your business — content generation, data extraction, classification and orchestration.
An engineer's read on the decision in front of you — build vs buy, stack choices, where AI genuinely pays off, and what your current system is costing you.
Someone who knows the codebase, on hand when it matters. Monitoring, fixes, small enhancements and a documented handover if you ever move on.
Profit increase delivered for a client through AI-driven eCommerce automation
Years building production software across AI, trading and games
Languages and runtimes in active use, from Python to MQL5
Point of contact — the engineer who builds it is the one you brief
Most small businesses get stuck choosing between a cheap freelancer who disappears and an agency that bills for meetings. AleCodex is the third option: senior engineering, delivered directly, with commercial results as the measure of success.
30 minutes on the problem, the constraints and whether I'm the right fit.
Scope, milestones, timeline and a fixed price. No surprises later.
Weekly demos against real data, so you steer while it's still cheap to steer.
Deployment, documentation, training and an optional retainer.
No trend-chasing. The stack gets picked for the job, your team's ability to maintain it, and the cost of running it in three years' time.
Whether it's a website that's overdue a rebuild, a store drowning in manual listing, or a process a machine should be handling — the first conversation is free and useful either way.
