I've spent my career helping companies see how they really work, then designing and building the software that lets them run faster and grow.
Working systems the people inside a company use every day, not a slide deck.
I sit with the work (the processes, the people, the awkward edge cases) until I understand how things actually run.
Then I design what should exist: the workflows, data and architecture that take the friction out.
And I build it: software teams actually adopt, that still works as the company grows.
I've done this in wholesale, fuel, banking, security, healthcare, publishing and higher education. The sector changes; the way of working does not.
Great software doesn't need a fixed address. I've delivered it while working from 47 countries, across five continents and most time zones.
I speak English and French, and I have the right to live and work in:
The useful bit is already knowing the messy parts of the industry.
Billing, accounting, credit control, reconciliation and financial trading systems.
Provisioning, billing, monitoring, backups, virtualization and 20+ years managing Linux servers.
Nutrition, wearables, studies, strict rules and care that simply can't wait.
Platforms used by thousands of students.
Metering, telematics, renewables and the systems behind the grid.
The commercial instincts are earned. The technical depth is where I started.
Lancaster University
A funded place, and the habit of being careful with systems is still there.
Explaining hard things simply, which is still most of the job in a boardroom.
One of just ten students a year selected for Lancaster's Computer Science Innovation programme, on a competitive scholarship. From day one the work was real:
Sensors, data and energy systems stitched across an entire university. An early look at transformation at a scale that had to work.
Turning historical GIS data into something you could explore.
Making dense environmental datasets visual and legible.
Cloud-based video editing and streaming, before that was ordinary.
Connected devices and the software behind them.
If you're working on something interesting, say hi.
