Beginning my career immediately after earning a first-class Computer Science degree, I developed inspection software widely used in UK playgrounds, blending academic precision with tangible impact. Over a decade, I led software delivery for notable UK organisations including E.ON, Experian, NHS, AstraZeneca, McDonald's, Sky, and the UK Government. Simultaneously, I co-founded a place-promotion platform attracting over 100,000 users across 70+ towns, personally building all technological components. After selling my stake in 2023, I continued as a non-executive director, gaining insights into governance and strategic product oversight. Currently, I serve as a fractional CTO and hands-on developer, focusing on complex, partially-defined challenges and maintaining a select client portfolio to ensure dedicated attention. Based in North East England, I collaborate with clients worldwide.
