About
Over 15 years building software, for startups, fintech and the BBC. Today I build with AI agents, so less of my time goes on typing code and more goes on what matters: understanding the problem, designing a solution that holds up, and making sure it is secure, fast and easy to change. I can help your business put LLMs to use, replace the systems that slow it down, and build software that keeps paying off after launch.
How I can help
Put LLMs to work
Find where LLMs genuinely help your business, then build them in so they are dependable and safe.
Ship fast
Agent-assisted delivery shortens the path from idea to working software, without cutting corners on quality.
Keep it changeable
Simple, well-tested code that the next person, or the next agent, can safely change.
Make it secure
Review and harden applications, infrastructure and AI integrations: access control, data leaks, prompt injection.
Untangle legacy
Upgrade or replace the systems that hold your business back.
