Profile
Extensive experience in full-stack .NET development, leading projects from small bespoke builds to large, complex systems.
I line-manage software consultants from junior to senior, supporting their growth while keeping delivery quality high. Alongside hands-on development, I take on technical leadership and architecture, and advise clients on the best use of technology for their business challenges.
My work covers the full lifecycle, from design and implementation to deployment and ongoing support.
Agentic AI delivery
I design and use AI-assisted workflows across software delivery, from breaking down a brief and coordinating agents through to implementation, review and testing. My focus is making that work repeatable and verifiable, with clear responsibilities and human judgement at the points that matter.
- 01Brief Break the work into scoped, reviewable pieces.
- 02Build Coordinate agents through implementation.
- 03Check Review and test the result before it is accepted.
- 04Decide People own priorities, acceptance and release.
