Working with Switzerland
Engineering to Swiss standards, from one UK engineer.
Bespoke software, AI integration and premium websites — from an engineer whose track record is banking, insurance and systems where accuracy is non-negotiable.
Switzerland doesn't buy cheap software; it buys correct software. Most of my career has been spent in exactly that territory: insurance platforms at Covéa and Uinsure, banking and card-management systems at InLogik — software where a rounding error is an incident, not a footnote. I bring that discipline to Swiss SMEs: precise scoping, defensive engineering, privacy designed in from the first architecture diagram.
Why this works
Why businesses in Switzerland work with me.
A fintech and insurance track record — banking systems, claims platforms, payments — which is the standard of care Swiss businesses expect by default.
Privacy as architecture, not paperwork: I've built GDPR-grade platforms where no data leaves the perimeter, a posture that maps directly onto Switzerland's nFADP.
Security is part of my stack, not a bolt-on — authentication, encryption, compliance-aware cloud infrastructure on AWS and Azure with proper CI/CD.
One senior engineer, personally accountable — the boutique model Swiss businesses often prefer over anonymous delivery teams.
The practical bit
How working together actually runs.
Timezone
Switzerland is one hour ahead of the UK, year-round. Our working days overlap almost completely — reviews and decisions happen in shared hours, not overnight relays.
Data protection
Swiss data protection law (the revised nFADP) is closely aligned with GDPR — and GDPR-grade engineering is already my default, including architectures where data never leaves your perimeter. Where data residency matters, that's a first-conversation topic, not a discovery in month three.
Contracts & payment
A fixed written quote from TSMW Development LTD, a registered UK limited company — CHF-denominated if you prefer. Precise scope, agreed price, no meter running.
Relevant work
Proof, not promises.
Insurance platforms, banking systems and self-serve financial tooling — the kind of software where Swiss-grade precision is the entry requirement.
Insurance

A customer claims platform that turns complex policy rules into an accurate, guided process.

Common questions
Questions from Switzerland.
Why would a Swiss business hire a UK developer?
For the same reason Swiss firms hire specialists anywhere: the work. My background is banking, insurance and payment systems — software where accuracy and privacy are non-negotiable — delivered by one accountable senior engineer rather than a rotating delivery team. The one-hour offset makes collaboration effectively local.
How do you handle Swiss data protection (nFADP)?
The revised nFADP is closely aligned with GDPR, and GDPR-grade engineering is my default: data minimisation, encryption, clear processing boundaries, and where needed architectures where no data leaves your perimeter. Residency and processing constraints are settled at the architecture stage.
Do you work in German or French?
I work in English, which is standard in Swiss professional life. The software itself can be delivered in German, French, Italian or all three — I built the EU Parliament's virtual tour across 24 languages, so proper multilingual engineering is proven ground.
What does a typical Swiss engagement look like?
Usually bespoke software or AI integration: an internal tool, a workflow automation, a legacy system carefully modernised, or AI wired into an existing business with strict privacy constraints. It starts with a scoping call and a fixed written quote — in CHF if you prefer.
