Independent technologist
Building better businesses through software and AI.
I work with founders and growing businesses to turn ideas into products, automate operations and solve technical problems.
What I do
Three ways I can help
- 01
Product build
Turn an idea into a product people use: scoping, design and build, through to launch and the first round of feedback.
- MVPs and first versions
- Web apps and internal tools
- Product and technical scoping
- 02
Automation & AI
Find the repetitive work in your operations and hand it to software, using AI where it earns its place rather than for the sake of it.
- Back-office and workflow automation
- AI features inside existing products
- Joining up the tools you already use
- 03
Technical problem-solving
A senior pair of hands for the hard bits: a stuck project, an inherited codebase, or a decision you need to get right.
- Architecture and code reviews
- Rescuing stalled projects
- Fractional technical lead
Case studies

Tell me where things are and what is in the way. I will tell you plainly whether I can help, and how I would approach it.
