I lead a technology team in the public sector and run a consulting practice alongside it.
Both involve the same question: where is a manual process costing people time, and what is the most practical way to improve it?
I work with businesses that have grown past the point where their systems have kept up. Typically professional services firms, field service operations, and SMEs without a dedicated IT team. The picture is usually the same: work tracked in spreadsheets, knowledge sitting in people’s heads, software running at a fraction of its capability. That gap between what you’re paying for and what you’re getting is usually where I start.
We talk, I understand the problem, and we agree the most useful next step — advice, design, a focused build or help alongside your team.
Practical work shaped around the problem, not a prescribed technology or package.
I’m based in Exeter. Outside work I run my own AI stack: self-hosted infrastructure, custom automations, and an ongoing project to build a voice-first personal assistant from scratch. The blog is where most of the thinking about AI in business ends up.
