What types of AI projects do you take on?

Three things, mostly. I build AI agents that automate workflows. I build web, iOS, and Android apps with AI baked in. And I advise teams on where AI fits into what they're already doing. If it's practical and it saves you time or money, I'm probably interested.

How do I know which service is right for me?

Honestly, most people aren't sure, and that's fine. Book a call and we'll work it out. Got repetitive processes eating your team's time? Probably agents. Need an app built? That's the coding side. Just want to understand what AI can do for your business? Consulting. A lot of projects end up being a mix.

Do you work with clients outside the UK?

Yes. I work with clients in the US, Europe, and the Middle East. Most of my communication is written updates and scheduled calls, so time zones haven't been an issue.

How long does it take to implement an AI agent?

A few weeks for the first one. We pick the biggest bottleneck, build an agent for it, and get it into real use. Once that's working, adding more agents is faster because the hard decisions have already been made.

Do I need to replace my existing tools?

No. The agents plug into whatever you're already using. Gmail, Slack, your CRM, project management tools, custom systems. Your team keeps working the same way; the agents just handle the bits that don't need a human.

What if the agent makes mistakes?

They will, occasionally. That's why every agent I build has guardrails. When it's not sure, it asks a human instead of guessing. You decide what the agent can handle on its own and what needs your approval.

Can we start small and scale?

That's how I prefer to do it. Pick one process, prove it works, then expand. No point automating everything at once if you haven't seen what the first agent can do yet.

What AI capabilities can you build into applications?

Chat interfaces, content generation, document analysis, smart recommendations, pulling structured data out of messy inputs. All of this works across web, iOS, and Android. I pick the right LLM for the job (GPT, Claude, Gemini, or others) depending on what you need.

Why is AI-enhanced development better value?

I use AI tools to write, debug, and test code across web, iOS, and Android. It means I ship faster, and I pass those savings on to you. But AI doesn't replace 22 years of knowing what good code looks like. I still review everything, and I'm the one making the architectural decisions.

What does an AI strategy engagement look like?

We start by talking about your business, not technology. What are you trying to achieve, where are the bottlenecks, and how ready is your team for change? Then I put together a roadmap that covers the tools, the training, and the people side of getting AI into your day-to-day.

Do you offer ongoing advisory retainers?

Yes. A lot of my clients keep me on after the initial project. Monthly check-ins, team training sessions as new tools come out, quick questions when they come up, and a heads-up when something in AI is worth paying attention to. It's cheaper than hiring someone full-time, and you get someone who already knows your business and your people.

What I Do

Three ways I help you grow.

AI Coding

I build for web, iOS, and Android, using AI to write code faster. But AI on its own doesn't know what good software looks like. After 22 years of building systems, I know how to plan and direct a project so it actually works — the AI just helps me get there quicker.

Web, iOS, and Android apps

AI feature integration (GPT, Claude, Gemini)

Internal tools and dashboards

Lower cost than traditional dev teams

Agentic AI

I build AI agents that plug into your existing tools and quietly handle the repetitive work your team shouldn't be doing. They run on web, mobile, or behind the scenes. Think of them as reliable teammates that never sleep or take holidays.

Custom AI agents and workflows

Plug into Slack, email, CRM and more

Automate lead follow-up and reporting

24/7 autonomous operation

Consulting & Training

Adopting AI isn't just about the technology, it's about the people using it. I help organisations figure out where AI fits, get their teams comfortable with the change, and make sure the transition actually sticks.
