I'm a design engineer based in London.

I spent 4 years leading engineering at a tax consultancy, building the tools and CRM behind £100m+ in R&D claims. Currently, I'm the founding engineer at Trustestate, building probate software that's handled £50m+ in estate value.

I'm also the founder of Interlu, and share what I've learned about becoming a developer on YouTube.

I consider myself a designer at heart and care about fast, beautiful software.

Working with Jacob has always been a pleasure. The ultimate professional, he commits himself fully to his client making sure all their design needs are met. Multi-skilled, Jacob has a wide range of talents he can bring to your business. I have been truly impressed in his service and his dedication to high standards of work. Throughout the process, he has become my very good friend and I think this is a great reflection of him not only as a businessman but just as a lovely human being in the world that wants to help people.

Jacob has time and again proven to be extremely professional – informed and technically excellent. He’s an invaluable technical and design lead. I would recommend his services without hesitation to anyone in need of technical help with websites and the like.

After the experience of the creation of our company’s website, I can thoroughly recommend Jacob Sargent. He has immense patience, creative energy, style and vision way beyond his years. You could say:- An old head on young shoulders..!! If you are considering the creation of a new website, or even updating an existing site, you will be in a safe pair of hands with someone who will listen and interpret your ideas very well and who will be there with the backup you may need to run the site after its creation.

Working with Jacob has been such an enjoyable experience. The process of starting a new business is stressful and chaotic but Jacob made this part the one of the easiest and most straight-forward. His expertise and knowledge of the industry made me feel I was in capable hands and that this area of my business was reliable, well thought out and able to support my venture. He is always on hand to answer my queries and make any changes so I can concentrate on my side of things. I am incredibly pleased with how my website has turned out, I feel confident to direct my customers to it knowing it will be fully functioning and stylish. I cannot recommend Jacob enough!

When it comes to computer understanding, expertise in Websites and Graphic Design of all types, Jacob Sargent is the expert in this field I would call. For all software and communications, Jacob is the man for the job. His knowledge and experience are vital for all types of businesses and in my case ‘Websites’ where experience and know-how come second to none. All websites need a ‘tweak’ and an update now and then, and when I need that kind of service Jacob is the expert I call.

I can highly recommend Jacob for his professional and enthusiastic approach to work. He designed me a wonderful new logo for my established business and a whole new fresh bespoke look for my new business cards and promotional Artwork. Nothing was too much trouble, and Jacob was always encouraging and very patient as we collaborated on the project. I am delighted with the end results and have no hesitation in recommending him, and consulting Jacob in the future.

I feel very lucky to have been introduced to Jacob a couple of months ago on a photo shoot. Since then the world has fallen into lockdown and it has not been possible to find work as a photographer. Simply, I cannot praise Jacob enough for his creativity and support helping me set up a new website in these challenging times. No question has not gone unanswered with clarity and patience. He has been the perfect balance of professional expertise and inspiration. I could not be happier with the website he has created for me and I recommend him wholeheartedly. The website he has created speaks for itself.

We were new to online retail and Jacob has really enabled us to adapt and grow our online business. He has helped us create an impactful site with a strong search ranking, worked alongside us to develop both our e-commerce and s-commerce skills and generally helped us find great solutions in this rapidly changing marketplace. I couldn’t recommend Jacob more highly.

I was fortunate enough to work with Jacob when designing a logo for my Personal Training Company. I came with a jumble of ideas and no real direction (or that I was aware). Jacob made me feel confident in my decisions and was more than capable of bringing them to life. As someone that is meticulous over detail, Jacob was consistently on call to support any queries and provide the keen eye I so very much appreciated. As a new company, I trusted Jacob’s expertise and I am so grateful I made the choice to use him.
