Put AI to work.Build digital products.Get delivery on track.

I help founders and teams automate workflows, build and launch digital products, and organise software development. From choosing the right approach to implementation, integrations and team setup.

The business need comes first. Technology follows.

  • Existing software
  • Integration
  • Automation
  • Custom development

01 / Services

From a new idea to a working system.

Bring a workflow, a product or a team. We’ll define the outcome and choose the right way to get there.

01

AI agents & workflow automation

When to get in touch. Repetitive tasks take up time, data moves between systems manually, and AI is still limited to individual chats.

What I doI map the process, select the tools, design and implement an assistant or automation, and connect it to your working systems.

What you getA working workflow with defined access, output checks, error handling and instructions for the team.

Tasks and details
  • Possible applications: lead research and initial qualification, personalised message drafts.
  • Document processing and reporting; internal knowledge-base assistants.
  • Enquiry routing and response drafts; workflows connected to your CRM, spreadsheets and other systems.
02

AI-assisted software delivery

When to get in touch. Your team wants to use AI, or is already trying tools, but hasn’t established a consistent way of working with them.

What I doI help integrate AI tools and agents into task definition, code changes, testing, documentation and releases.

What you getA structured delivery process with AI: clear tasks, checks and human accountability for accepted changes.

Tasks and details
  • Clear tasks and constraints, repository and tracker workflows, checks before changes are accepted.
  • Access and secret-handling rules, with human approval for consequential actions.
  • Evaluation against a specific workflow. Codex and other tools are selected to suit the task.
03

Digital products & implementation

When to get in touch. You have an idea, a business need or an existing product to build, launch, develop further or connect to other systems.

What I doI clarify requirements and help choose existing software or custom development. I organise prototypes, MVPs, development, integrations and rollout.

What you getA product or implemented system with agreed acceptance criteria, documentation and a clear next stage.

Tasks and details
  • Selecting and implementing existing enterprise software, including when it is a better fit than a custom build.
  • Finding specialists when needed, organising and leading development.
  • Preparing for operation, integrating into everyday workflows and handing over to the team.
04

Technology leadership & team setup

When to get in touch. You need to build a technology function from scratch or improve how your existing team and contractors work.

What I doI design the team structure, support hiring, define ownership and establish planning. I can also take on a fractional CTO role.

What you getClear roles, a practical decision-making process and oversight of delivery, budget, timelines and risks.

Tasks and details
  • Building a team and technology function from scratch; hiring and assessing specialists.
  • Independent reviews of software delivery and contractors, with technical audits where relevant.
  • Planning, collaboration and technical leadership within the agreed scope.

02 / Selected work

Products of my own. Hands-on experience.

I develop my own products and tools, making product decisions, organising delivery and applying AI to real tasks.

My focus

Organising the workflow from research to a prepared contact, with the user in control.

03 / Approach

A clear path from need to implementation.

  1. 01

    Understand the task

    What the business needs, how the process works today and what constraints apply.

  2. 02

    Agree on the outcome

    The solution, scope and exclusions, access, timelines and acceptance criteria.

  3. 03

    Build and validate

    A pilot, development or implementation, tested against agreed scenarios.

  4. 04

    Launch and hand over

    Integration into the team’s work, instructions, outcome checks and agreed ongoing support.

AI with human oversight.

Limited agent permissions, checks, action logs and error handling. Consequential actions need approval. When conventional automation is enough, there’s no need for AI.

04 / About

Technology grounded in business.

FAQ

Before we talk

Can I get in touch without a technical specification?

Yes. Start with the business need and the outcome you want. We’ll clarify requirements, constraints and the next step together.

Can you work with our team or contractor?

Yes. I can work alongside your existing team, help improve processes, coordinate technical work and independently assess a contractor’s delivery.

Do you only advise, or also help implement?

I take part in implementation and organise and coordinate the work. We agree on my involvement and any specialists needed for the specific task.

Do we always need AI or custom development?

No. Existing software, an integration or conventional automation may be a better fit. We start with the business outcome and choose the right approach.

How is the cost determined?

Once we’ve clarified the outcome, scope and constraints. We agree on the work and my involvement before implementation begins.
