Guernsey based / working worldwide
I build real systems in days, not months.
Mobile apps, automation systems, AI workflows, and experiments that actually ship. Based in Guernsey. Built for real problems, not pitch decks.
Current bets
Featured projects
Three active directions: a privacy-first wearable, an automation-first agency model, and a stream of practical software experiments.
GameWeb
A real-time multiplayer freeze tag game you can play in your browser.
Freeze Tag
A real-time multiplayer freeze tag game where things spiral fast. Chase players, freeze them, or save teammates before they switch sides. Add in random abilities like teleport and pulse, and every round turns chaotic. No downloads, just jump in and play.
GameWeb
GameWebParty Game
A real-time multiplayer party game where players respond to prompts using GIFs, then vote on the best (or worst) answers.
Giflash
A multiplayer party game where the goal is simple, respond to prompts using GIFs. Sounds easy, until you realise everyone else is trying to outdo you with the most unhinged answer possible.

You want to know more? OK.
The broad picture, the working style, and the systems behind the shipping bias.
I am a Guernsey-based builder working across software, automation, and experimental hardware. I prefer shipping over over-engineering, momentum over ceremony, and real-world testing over theory.
The work ranges from mobile apps and internal systems to AI workflows and edge-device experiments, but the principle is consistent: build something useful, keep it understandable, and automate anything repetitive.
Languages & frameworks
- Flutter, React, React Native, Astro, Next.js, Tailwind
- Node.js, Python, PHP
- PostgreSQL, Supabase, Drizzle, Prisma
Tools & platforms
- Docker, VPS hosting, Traefik, Coolify
- Cloudflare Workers and CI/CD pipelines
- Workflow tooling across n8n, Zapier, and Make
AI & automation
- OpenAI APIs and custom assistants
- Prompt engineering and workflow orchestration
- Ops automation for sales, onboarding, support, and delivery
Hardware & experimental
- Raspberry Pi and Arduino builds
- Real-time video processing and AI redaction pipelines
- Products that need more than a browser and a database
Builder rules
- Ship fast, iterate faster
- Build real things, not just ideas
- Prefer simple systems over clever ones
Interesting bits
- Founder of Legocia, a privacy-first wearable memory product
- Comfortable moving between product, code, systems, and hardware
Current mode
Let's build something useful.
If the problem is operationally ugly, repetitive, privacy-sensitive, or slightly unhinged, I am usually interested. This portfolio is the working surface, not the final form.
