I run a small digital agency with a big passion for building brilliant software. Whether you need a new website, a custom business system or help navigating a tricky technical challenge, I love turning ideas into solutions that make life easier. For me, every project starts with a conversation. I enjoy getting to know the people behind the business, understanding what makes them tick and finding the right solution - not the most complicated one. The end result is technology that's easy to use, built around your needs and designed to grow with your business.
Technology should solve problems, not create them. I build reliable, scalable solutions that remove complexity, improve efficiency and help your business work smarter every single day.
Every business is unique, so every solution should be too. I design software around your goals, helping automate processes, improve experiences and support long-term business growth.
The best solutions start with fresh ideas. I take time to understand your business, challenge assumptions and create technology that delivers practical, lasting results for everyone.
I have over 20 years of experience designing and delivering digital solutions for organisations of all sizes. For much of that time I've lead technical projects and designed large-scale systems using Microsoft .NET and AWS cloud technologies. From modernising legacy applications to building event-driven cloud platforms, the focus has always been on creating software that's reliable, scalable and built for the future.
While I've worked on enterprise projects with complex architectures, I still enjoy the simple part of the job the most - helping people solve real problems with great software. Technology changes constantly, but good ideas, honest advice and well-built solutions never go out of style.
Every business has different challenges, which is why I don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Whether you're looking to modernise existing systems, build something entirely new or simply need expert technical guidance, I provide practical, scalable solutions designed around your business. From the initial idea through to launch and beyond, I'm here to help you make the most of technology.
Many businesses still rely on manual processes, disconnected systems and legacy software that slow teams down and increase the risk of errors. Digital transformation isn't just about replacing old technology - it's about finding smarter ways to work.
Using modern cloud technologies such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), I design serverless, event-driven solutions that automate repetitive tasks, connect business systems and improve the flow of information across your organisation. Whether it's automatically processing customer enquiries, synchronising data between systems, generating reports, integrating third-party platforms or replacing spreadsheet-driven workflows, I build solutions that save time, reduce manual effort and help your team focus on what matters most.
By leveraging services such as AWS Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront, EventBridge, S3 and DynamoDB, I create highly scalable, cost-effective solutions without the complexity of managing traditional infrastructure.
When off-the-shelf software doesn't quite fit, bespoke software can give your business a real competitive advantage.
I specialise in developing custom software using Microsoft's .NET platform, building everything from internal business systems and customer portals to REST APIs, cloud-native applications and enterprise integrations. As a full-stack developer, I can deliver complete end-to-end solutions covering databases, APIs, backend services and intuitive web interfaces.
Much of my work focuses on AWS serverless architecture, building modern applications with Lambda, API Gateway, CloudFront and DynamoDB. I also have extensive experience integrating cloud platforms with existing on-premise systems, allowing businesses to modernise at their own pace while protecting existing investments.
Not every project starts with writing code. Sometimes the most valuable investment is making the right technical decisions from the outset.
As an experienced Solutions Architect and Technical Project Lead, I help businesses plan, design and review software solutions before development begins. Whether you need architecture design, cloud migration planning, integration strategies, application modernisation or an independent technical review, I provide practical advice based on years of hands-on experience delivering enterprise-scale systems.
I can work purely as a consultant, producing solution designs, architecture diagrams and technical specifications, or I can take your project through the entire lifecycle - from discovery and design to development, testing, deployment and ongoing support. Whatever stage your project is at, I'll help you build technology that's robust, scalable and designed for the future.
Your website is often the first impression customers have of your business, so it needs to do more than simply look good.
With over 15 years of experience developing websites using Umbraco CMS, I build fast, secure and responsive websites that combine exceptional user experience with powerful content management. Whether you need a simple brochure website, a customer portal, an ecommerce platform or a fully integrated web application, I create solutions that are easy to manage, built for performance and ready to grow with your business.
Every website is designed with accessibility, SEO, security and long-term maintainability in mind.
Every successful project starts with a solid plan. I believe great software comes from understanding your business, communicating clearly and building collaboratively. From our first conversation through to launch, I'll keep you informed every step of the way, ensuring the final solution is delivered on time, meets your goals and is built to support your business long into the future.
Every project begins with a conversation. I'll take the time to understand your business, your goals and the challenges you're trying to solve. Whether you have a detailed specification or just the seed of an idea, I'll listen, ask the right questions and help shape a solution that works for your business - not just your technology.
Once I understand your objectives, I'll create a clear roadmap for the project. Together we'll define the scope, priorities, timelines and the most suitable technical approach. I'll explain everything in plain English, giving you confidence in the solution before any development begins and ensuring there are no surprises along the way.
This is where your ideas become reality. Using modern technologies and industry best practices, I'll build, test and refine your solution with quality, performance and scalability in mind. You'll receive regular updates throughout the project, giving you opportunities to provide feedback and ensuring the final product meets your expectations.
Before launch, everything is thoroughly tested to ensure a smooth and reliable deployment. Once your solution is live, I'll continue to provide support, answer questions and help you plan future improvements. Technology is always evolving, and I'm here to make sure your solution evolves with your business.
Whether you have a fully formed project, a rough idea scribbled on a napkin or you're simply looking for some honest technical advice, I'd love to hear from you. Drop me a message, tell me what you're working on and let's see how I can help turn your ideas into something great.
