From challenges
to smart software solutions
What I Do
Practical solutions across three areas of expertise.
Web Dev
Custom websites and web applications built to solve real business problems. Modern technologies, clean code, and a focus on performance and usability.
Software Architecture & Cloud
Scalable system design and cloud solutions on Microsoft Azure. From greenfield projects to migrations, architecture built to grow with your business.
AI Consultancy
Practical AI for your business. I help you identify where automation and intelligent systems can make a real difference, then build them.
About
Over a decade of engineering, from developer to architect.
I've been working at Acuity Analytics (previously Ascent) for over nine years, progressing from an entry level software engineering role to a Technical Architect. Across pharmaceutical, legal, and public-sector projects, I've consistently been the person responsible for translating complex business challenges into reliable, scalable software. I also make sure the engineering team can deliver and maintain it.
Architecture & System Design
Designing systems that are built to scale; from greenfield projects to modernising legacy platforms. I align technical direction with businesses' long-term goals and make the trade-offs explicit so nothing is a surprise later.
Cloud & Integrations
Microsoft Azure-native architecture and integration design for enterprise systems. I've delivered global, multi-tenant solutions and connected complex third-party platforms in heavily regulated sectors.
End-to-End Delivery
Hands-on across the full stack; React, .NET, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines. I especially enjoy contributing to projects or leading a small team through delivery, from proof-of-concepts to production ready solutions.
Technical Leadership
Creating environments where engineering teams thrive. I set the technical standards and practices that matter; code reviews, deployment automation, monitoring—enabling fast, reliable delivery. Mentoring engineers and building lasting technical culture is where I find the most impact.

Why I Built Yet Another FIRE Calculator
Most FIRE calculators online do not let you control your plan and assumptions. I wanted something simpler, yet still customisable enough.
Secret Santa - No Emails, No Links, No Problems
Every year, drawing Secret Santa names is a challenge because not everyone gets emails and the exclusions make it impossible to draw names properly with papers in a bag.
