Why founders hire me.
Scale you can borrow
I built checkout used by 500,000 people a day at Just Eat and kept Trainline's booking flow running for millions. Your lead form and booking system are a quiet Tuesday by comparison.
AI in production, not in slides
At Fairplay Sports Media I design and run AI agent fleets that do real work every day. The same patterns power the automations I build for clients.
Boring, reliable software
At the BBC I built the internal tools that ran the entire online video catalogue. Systems that quietly work are a speciality. That is exactly what your automation should be.
Deliberately small
I take on a small number of clients each quarter and lead every project personally. You get the person who built the thing, not an account manager.

What I'm currently doing.
Want to build something together?
I lead subscriptions at Fairplay Sports Media by day and take on a small number of Camber Co clients each quarter. The cap is deliberate. Every project gets me personally, from first call to handover.
