I rebuild the system your business runs on. Without stopping the business.

For the owner of a 10 to 200 person company running on software somebody built years ago that nobody dares replace.

One production system. A department was running on it a month after the first commit. The repository, the hosting and the domain are now in their accounts. Counted against their repository, September 2026.

Case Study Zero: Concierge

One point of contact for my routine work. I run it on myself every weekday before I install it on anyone.

A chief of staff surfaces what matters. A board of advisors takes the hard decisions. I add more work to it all the time.

Runs tasks
Creates files
Drafts emails
Watches my inboxes
Takes on more every week

Orchestrated across Claude, Grok and Grok Bot, in an experiment to find where each kind of work lives best.

The week, made visible.

Five rooms. The same person in each. Every room has one number and one next step.

If a department runs on it

A department was running on a system nobody could fix.

The catalog came out of a vendor product and could not be trusted. I built the replacement, moved the department onto it, and handed over the keys.

The vendor system was never fixed. It became a read-only reference for checking the new numbers.

If the numbers look fine

A kitchen was cooking the wrong amounts, and the data looked fine.

More than 15,000 rows corrected on a live system a team used every day. Nothing went offline. Every change could be reversed.

One leak. One fix.

The hours your shop loses every week, named in twenty minutes.

I sit with the owner or the office manager for twenty minutes. We name one leak you already pay hours for. If we cannot name it, I leave.

Fixed fee. Read-only. One to two weeks. A written findings report and a standing dashboard, both yours to keep, whatever happens next.

One point of contact. Six disciplines.

The complete talent stack without the headcount.

AI implementation and agentic workflows
AI in daily use, not demos. Agent teams and automation, with every change tested before it ships.
AI strategy and advisory
Where AI genuinely fits your business, and where it doesn't. A written strategy and a standing second opinion before decisions get locked.
System architecture and software design
Production systems designed from your real domain, built to outlive any single contributor.
Business improvement analysis
Value-stream mapping and constraint identification. An expert read on where the effort goes and which fix pays first.
Change management and ways of working
Adoption gates, learning loops, and continuous improvement that sticks after I leave.
Efficiency, measured
Measure before we touch. Every engagement starts with a read-only Current State Assessment that puts numbers on the pain.

Behind each of these sits a career of enterprise practice: agile coaching, requirements gathering, automated testing and release, value-stream mapping, and retrospectives. See how I work

If you came here for agents.

Good. I build them. Agents work when they sit on a process someone has actually measured, and they fail quietly when they do not. So I measure first. One to two weeks, fixed fee, and it tells us which agent is worth building. Most of the ones people ask for are not. One or two usually are.

Why one person can do this now.

I spent a career inside the old model: multi-person teams, long timelines, and enterprise price tags. I know what that talent stack costs because I led it.

Then AI changed the math. Strategy, architecture, engineering, and quality used to take a department. They are now available to businesses that already know how to be successful, through one person.

One point of contact. The whole stack. Growth feels calm.

I always start with the same question.

“Thinking of this aspect of your business on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the absolute best, where would you put it? Now talk to me about the gap between that number and 10.”

I carried it with me from Thoughtworks. It gets further in ten minutes than a discovery deck gets in a week. Try it on the part of your business that's on your mind.

Where would you put it?

Gap of 4out of 10

Now talk to me about the gap between 6 and 10.

SubjectMy number is 6

Send me your number

You do not have to book a call to get a read on it. Send me three sentences about the part of the business you just scored and I will write back within two business days with what I would measure first, and whether I am the right person to do it. No call, no deck, no charge. If the answer is that you do not need me, that is the answer you will get.

That gap is where a Current State Assessment starts. How it starts

Start with the Current State Assessment.

A short call first, to work out whether there's something here worth measuring. If there isn't, I'll say so. That's a cheaper answer for both of us.
