UK-based software consultant for founders and small teams
Practical product engineering for early-stage products, AI-built prototypes and existing apps that need clearer scope, safer foundations or a sensible path to launch.
Where I fit
Most early-stage apps need a clear technical partner more than they need a big team. The useful first step depends on what is true right now.
01
A prototype, AI-built app or existing product that needs a clear technical read before you trust it with real users.
Useful next step: Review it, separate real risks from noise, then decide whether to launch, pause, fix or rebuild.
02
A product idea, workflow or internal process where the next build decision still feels too fuzzy.
Useful next step: Shape the scope, expose the trade-offs and avoid paying for software you do not need yet.
03
An app that works in places but feels fragile, messy, hard to change or awkward to hand over.
Useful next step: Stabilise the useful parts, improve the risky parts and make the next phase easier to move through.
Production-readiness review
If you already have a prototype, AI-built app or early product, I can review it before you commit to a bigger build.
What you leave with
From there, we can either leave it there or turn the highest-priority fixes into a focused piece of build work.
Modern delivery
I use AI and modern development tooling where it helps, but the point is not to let a machine blindly generate your product. The point is to move faster while keeping ownership clear.
I use modern AI tooling where it genuinely helps: exploring options, speeding up implementation, checking edge cases and reducing the manual work that used to need a larger agency team.
The useful part is not letting AI blindly generate code. It is pairing faster tools with someone who can make trade-offs, review the output and keep the product reliable.
After launch, a light retainer gives you peace of mind and access to a high-quality developer without the premium agency pricing or the overhead of hiring too early.
Proof and credibility
The work is practical rather than theoretical: understand the product, find the risks, build the useful parts and leave the software in a clearer state.

AI-built app review
AI tools can get a prototype moving quickly. Before you put real users, payments or sensitive data through it, it is worth checking the foundations with a developer who can explain the risks clearly.
See app review serviceHow projects usually work
The goal is not to sell you a huge engagement. It is to understand what matters, choose the right amount of work and keep the project moving.
01
A short call to understand the product, the users, what exists already and what would make the work worthwhile.
02
You get a practical recommendation: build, review, rescue, or narrow the idea before spending more money.
03
I work directly on the useful parts, keep the trade-offs visible and avoid turning a small project into a ceremony.
04
You leave with working software, a clearer technical picture and sensible options for what happens next.
