One engineer. 35 containers. 5 payment gateways. £4M+ in donations processed. Full checkout, analytics, comms, Gift Aid, and deployment pipeline — built from scratch, running 24/7 with zero downtime.
Charity Right is one of the UK's fastest-growing Muslim charities, focused on food poverty and education. When we started working together, they were growing faster than their technology could handle.
A custom-built checkout that handles one-off donations, recurring giving, and campaign-specific appeals. Integrated with Stripe, PayPal, GoCardless, and manual payment methods. Every transaction syncs to the CRM in real-time. Supports Gift Aid declaration, marketing consent, and flexible payment scheduling.
The previous agency-built system had frequent failures and couldn't handle Ramadan traffic spikes. Our system has processed millions in peak season with zero downtime.
Real-time dashboard showing donations by source, campaign, payment method, and time period. Connected to a data warehouse that aggregates data from all 5 payment gateways. The fundraising team can see exactly which appeals are performing — no more waiting for monthly spreadsheets.
Full automation pipeline: donation receipt → thank-you email → WhatsApp confirmation → follow-up series. Built on n8n workflows + Chatwoot for live chat + WAHA for WhatsApp Business API. Reduced manual comms work from hours per day to near-zero.
Every eligible donation is automatically flagged for Gift Aid. Claims are batched and submitted to HMRC. This alone recovers more than the cost of our entire service — 25% uplift on every qualifying donation.
35 Docker containers across a dedicated server. Private Git (Gitea), CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, error tracking, and automated deployments. Full separation between production and development environments. All infrastructure is owned by Charity Right — zero vendor lock-in.
We migrated 14 databases from the old system with zero downtime. The entire operation runs on infrastructure that costs a fraction of what AWS or Azure would charge for the same setup.
This wasn't a 6-month discovery process. We shipped production systems from week one.
"The previous agency charged us tens of thousands and delivered something that broke under traffic. Omair rebuilt everything and it just works — during Ramadan, during appeals, 24/7."
— Charity Right leadership
The key difference isn't technology. It's the model. Traditional agencies sell projects — they build, hand over, and disappear. When something breaks at 2am during Ramadan, there's nobody to call.
QuikCue operates as embedded infrastructure. We don't build and leave. We build and run. The same engineer who wrote the code is the one monitoring it at 2am. The same person who deployed the checkout is the one optimising it during peak traffic.
That's why one engineer can outperform a 10-person agency. No handoffs. No miscommunication. No "that's out of scope." Just continuous shipping.
I have capacity for 2–3 more organisations on this infrastructure. The founding client rate is £2,000/month — everything included. 15 minutes on a call and I'll show you exactly what I'd build for you.
