20+ years in business

I put AI into businesses that already run.

I am an operator before I am an adviser. The AI layer I build for clients is the same one my own ventures run on every day. Nothing here is a demo.

Then I wrote the whole method down, one step at a time.

Three things you can do today

Pick one and ignore the other two. The first two are one membership, and the third one is me.

The Academy

In the membership

I wrote down how I actually do this, one step at a time. Every step ends with a check you run on your own systems. It is not teaching about AI, and it comes with the Vault.

  • 14 live tracks
  • 71 live steps
  • The track list is open to read, and the steps open on a membership

Join the Vault

£29/mo

The library I actually use, sold at one price on the page. Not a reading list. Not a shelf of videos. Not a Discord with nobody answering.

  • Claude skills
  • Cancel whenever, with no form and no exit survey
  • Everything you make with it stays yours on the way out

Hire me

Fractional Chief AI Officer

I sit inside your operation part time and ship the work myself. No discovery phase, no deck, no team of juniors learning on your budget. One operator who has already done it inside his own businesses.

  • 72 agents already running in production
  • Operator-led delivery, not a deck and a handover
  • I build inside your systems, not beside them

Live in production — not a demo

AI Operating System

This is what I'm actually running across my portfolio. Agent teams, automated workflows, governance layers — AI doing the work, not just the talking.

🤖
Agent: Ops

Runs daily operations checks, flags anomalies, escalates to humans only when needed.

✍️
Agent: Content

Drafts social copy, email sequences and blog outlines from a single brief.

🔍
Agent: QA

Automated quality checks on builds, copy, and data pipelines before anything goes live.

📈
Agent: Growth

Monitors key growth signals and surfaces weekly insight summaries with recommended actions.

💬
Agent: Support

First-line response and triage for inbound queries — escalates to humans only when needed.

🏛️
Governance Layer

Human-in-the-loop approval flows so nothing ships without the right sign-off.

⚙️
Content Pipeline

Idea → draft → review → publish — a fully automated workflow from brief to live post.

📋
Reporting Loops

Weekly performance reports assembled and delivered automatically. No spreadsheet wrangling.

🔗
Tool Stack

Base44, OpenAI, Zapier, Notion, Slack — connected and talking to each other in production.

🛡️
Guardrails

Budget caps, output reviews, brand tone filters — AI running fast with the right fences around it.

Proof

What I have actually built

You will find no client outcome figures here. None of mine are published anywhere, and an unbacked number is worth less than no number at all. So here is what I own and run instead.

I run many ventures at once, and that is the job rather than a boast.

These four are read from the database at the moment this page loads, so I never type them.

Don't take my word for it. Take the platform's.

“You're in the top 0.03% of Base44 users — fewer than apps that ever reach #1 on an app store.”

— Base44's own platform message, on the AI app platform Wix acquired for $80M.

4th & 7th — two build competitions, one game

Placed in both competitions entered, with a game built to launch on Steam and the app stores rather than to win a weekend.

Full websites from a single prompt

Production sites shipped in one prompt — my own ventures and websites built for other companies. Design, copy, checkout, live.

AI setups mastered, end to end

OpenClaw and Claude environments configured for personal and business use — optimised through hundreds of live use cases and real feedback.

The Journey

Then → Now

20+ years of building, failing, learning, and winning. Here's the snapshot story.

Age 15

Health Scares & Empires

Survived multiple collapsed lungs and major kidney surgeries. While bed-bound, kept building online empires. If adversity fuels innovation, I'm basically rocket-powered. Now feeling the healthiest I have ever felt!

Life beyond work

Life & Work

The moments that define my journey — from building teams to exploring the world, from network dinners to mountain top adventures.

Tell me what you are
trying to ship

Send me the problem itself rather than a polished brief. I will tell you whether I can help, and whether it needs me at all.

Keep it short. Voice notes under 2 mins welcome. My ADHD brain thanks you.

Or find me on LinkedIn

I collect social icons like Pokémon cards — I have them but don't use them. But if you want real connection, let's meet over good food.
