Before I was a consultant I was a software engineer. I still am.

Internal tools: what your team does by hand today in spreadsheets, with the human error that carries and the time it consumes.

Integrations: making the systems you already pay for talk to each other, instead of someone copying data from one to the other every Friday.

Automation of operational processes, with the business logic inside the system rather than spread across three people's heads.

And technical audits: reviewing what you have already had built and telling you what holds up, what has to be redone and what you are being overcharged for.

I start with the process, not the technology. Most software projects that fail in a small or mid-sized company fail because a badly designed process was automated: all that achieves is getting it wrong faster and at greater scale.

No bloated platforms and no dependencies that cannot be sustained. If your team cannot maintain what has been built once it is finished, the project has failed even if it works.

The code and the documentation are yours. No lock-in and no ransom fees.

I am not an agency. I do not build corporate websites to order, or campaigns, or piecework development with subcontracted teams.

I do not build systems for managing third-party funds, investment platforms, gateways for trading crypto-assets, or anything that requires authorisation from a financial supervisor in order to operate.
