The Portfolio

One portfolio. One operating layer.

My own ventures, joint ventures and client builds — all running the same playbook: optimised setups, automated workflows, AI costs driven towards zero, blockers removed, and the freed-up time reinvested in innovation and R&D.

Discount Vouchers

Relaunch in build

A 14-year-old UK voucher brand being relaunched as an open, verified, member-first discount club — 1,442 merchants across 13 categories already catalogued, on a simple promise: tested, or it isn't listed.

Remote Work Anywhere

Fuses six live signals — team-timezone overlap, cost, wifi, weather, visa and safety — into one 0–100 Work-From-Here score. Answers the question no existing tool does: given your actual team, where should you go?

Get In Our Bellies

Consumer app — in build

A family meal planner that plans round the people, not the recipes. Allergies and dislikes are held against the person, not a list — so auto-fill can plan the household's whole week round every constraint at once, then produce one shopping list of only what you're short of. Fourteen entities model an actual household: members, recipes, pantry, plans, cook logs and a family vote for when nobody can agree.

Per-person allergensPantry-aware listsFamily voting round

Bubs Daily

Consumer app — in build

The calm baby tracker. Feeds, sleep, nappies and growth logged in two taps, one-handed, in the dark. Most trackers make one parent the account holder and the other a guest — this one shares at the row level, so both parents get a real account of their own against the same baby. Free, private, British.

The operator edge

Every venture here gets the same operating layer.

Whether it's mine, a joint venture, or a client build — the playbook is identical: optimise the setup, automate the workflows, drive AI cost towards zero, remove the blockers, and reinvest the freed-up time into R&D. That's the compounding loop.

Setup & stack optimisation

Tooling audited, consolidated and wired together properly — Claude Code, agents, CRM, comms and data all talking to each other instead of fighting each other.

Workflows that run themselves

Inbox triage, reporting, standups, QA and compliance checks moved onto autonomous rails — the team does the thinking, the agents do the grind, 24/7.

AI cost engineering

Intelligent model routing, caching and free-tier leverage that cuts AI spend to a fraction of list price — in my own stack it runs at close to £0.

Blockers removed

The stuck integration, the manual bottleneck, the 'we've always done it this way' — found, unpicked and shipped past. Momentum is the deliverable.

R&D velocity

Freed-up hours and cheap experiments mean ideas get prototyped in days, not quarters — innovation becomes routine instead of a workshop topic.

Joint ventures

Got a venture that needs an operator with AI leverage?

I take a small number of joint-venture positions where the fit is right — bringing the operating layer, the tech leadership and 20 years of shipping, in exchange for shared upside. If you have distribution, domain expertise or a product that deserves better execution, let's talk.

One paragraph is plenty

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.
