Products on this site that I built or led, from first commit to production

I make products, from the first prototype to a system that scales.

I co-founded Gohesive in 2020 and have been its CTO since. Alongside it I work with founders as a fractional CTO, and I have led the technology at Doqit, Jetpack and MindClass. As co-founder and CTO of Addie, I took it from concept to 200,000+ users and a filed patent.

I care about the product as much as the code: what people need, what ships first, and what has to hold up later. Before startups I worked in research labs, building tracking software for neuroscience and VR teaching tools, after a degree in computer engineering and games at the University of Glasgow. I live in Tokyo and work with teams in London and across the UK.
