Specialisms
In order to deliver impactful software, I’ve built four key specialisms over the past 13 years of my career. Together, they ensure projects don’t just get delivered, but create real, lasting value. By combining deep engineering skill with strong lifecycle management, lean delivery practices, and effective team growth, I can help businesses turn ideas into reliable, scalable products.
These specialisms mean your project benefits from solid technical foundations, predictable and efficient delivery, and a culture where developers focus on solving the right problems. They reduce waste, avoid costly hand-offs, and keep teams aligned with business outcomes. Whether it’s building from scratch, modernising an existing platform, or scaling an organisation, this approach creates software that lasts and teams that thrive.
I help businesses turn engineering into a competitive advantage. With experience leading teams in SaaS, enterprise, and scale-up environments, I know how to align technology with real business outcomes.
I’ve built and scaled teams, modernised platforms, and introduced practices like TDD and pairing that raise quality and speed. The result is software that delivers value faster, with happier teams behind it.
My focus is always outcome-driven: reducing technical debt, choosing the right architecture, and empowering engineers to solve customer problems. That combination creates clarity, resilience, and growth.
I offer hands-on expertise in building modern web applications. From TypeScript and React front ends to AWS-hosted platforms with infrastructure as code, I create systems that are reliable, scalable, and easy to evolve.
My focus on automated testing and engineering discipline means the software I build is both high quality and fast to deliver. Whether it’s a new product, a migration, or scaling an existing platform, I ensure the foundations are solid.
I’ve helped deliver some of the BBC’s most widely used applications and laid the groundwork for Matillion’s new DPC front end. That same experience is what I bring to every business I work with: future-proof solutions that create real impact.
I specialise in bringing together Scrum, XP practices, and DevOps to create lean, outcome-focused software delivery. By keeping iterations short and feedback loops tight, teams can adapt quickly and deliver value without the waste of long cycles or heavy hand-offs.
At the BBC, I helped teams deliver some of the organisation’s most widely used applications by combining automated testing, pairing, and CI/CD with a culture of collaboration. At Matillion, I laid the foundation for the new DPC front end, applying the same principles to ensure rapid delivery on a solid technical base.
My approach empowers developers to focus on solving real customer problems, supported by practices like infrastructure as code, continuous integration, and automated pipelines. The result is lean, predictable delivery where frequent releases create measurable business impact with minimal friction.
I build high-performing engineering teams that scale with the business. From establishing front-end guilds to launching TDD champion programs, I create structures that raise standards, share knowledge, and embed practices that last.
My leadership style is rooted in radical candor: clear, honest feedback paired with genuine care for people’s growth. I’ve guided engineers from graduate to senior levels through consistent coaching, pairing, and leadership techniques that build both confidence and capability.
The result is large, motivated teams that deliver at pace while continuing to develop as individuals. By setting high expectations, encouraging ownership, and fostering collaboration, I ensure teams thrive and businesses see lasting impact.
