About Brighton PartTimer
If you were expecting a page about a company with a large team behind it, sorry to disappoint, this is a one-man band.
It’s just me, Pedram, my laptop, some spare time, and a slightly unhealthy amount of coffee.
The Journey of a Jack-of-all-trades
If you looked at my background, it would probably seem slightly all over the place: from mechanical engineering to mountaineering, and more recently fintech. I took the phrase “jack of all trades” a little too seriously.
But the common thread has always been the same: I enjoy solving difficult problems and building solutions that remove friction.
Systems & Finance
Fascinated by complex systems—from quantitative research and trading infrastructure to automation pipelines built in Python.
Mountaineering
Exploring heights taught me that clear problem identification is the precursor to building better ways to survive and operate.
Solving Friction: Yooz Outdoors
Struggling to rent outdoor gear during climbs led me to build an online gear rental platform called Yooz Outdoors. That mindset paved the way for Brighton PartTimer.
The Brighton Spark
Back when I was a student in Brighton looking for part-time work, the process felt unnecessarily painful. The jobs existed, but actually finding relevant local opportunities was chaotic.
Most job sites were bloated with endless forms, irrelevant listings, account creation walls, and application processes that somehow demanded hours of effort for jobs paying barely above minimum wage. I even remember walking around Brighton, going door to door with printed CVs, hoping to be in the right place at the right time!
“There was no simple place focused purely on local part-time work.”
That problem stayed in the back of my mind for months. Eventually, I decided to stop waiting for someone else to fix it and build the thing myself.
Built in Under 2 Weeks
Launched on 4 May 2026 and built from concept to live deployment in under 2 weeks. Driven by the belief that some ideas are better tested in the real world than endlessly analysed in your head.
Focused purely on part-time roles from local Brighton businesses, cafés, pubs, restaurants, and indie shops that are actively hiring nearby.
How It Runs
Basically me + a few systems working behind the scenes
// To keep everything updated daily without completely losing my sanity, I built a few internal automation systems to help run things behind the scenes:
Pedroll (The Scout)
Finds and monitors new part-time job listings across Brighton & Hove.
PGT (The Architect)
Handles infrastructure, performance, indexing, and technical systems.
K2 (The Generalist)
Helps with formatting, copy, emails, and routine administrative tasks.
Launched on r/brighton
Before properly expanding the site, I launched the MVP on Reddit just to get honest feedback and gauge whether anyone actually cared about the problem. Clearly, quite a few people around Brighton resonated with it.
Just a useful tool spreading through word of mouth.
“Finding a part-time job shouldn’t feel like a full-time job.”
Good luck with the job hunt, I genuinely hope you find something great.
