01 / ABOUT

TECHNICAL
STRATEGIST

I'm a Technical Strategist based in the North West, helping businesses design, build, and scale eCommerce and digital systems through thoughtful architecture, development, integrations, and automation.

VIEW SERVICES →

Originally from Yorkshire and now embracing my Lancastrian side, I help businesses turn complex challenges into streamlined solutions — from initial concept and technical architecture through to development, integrations, and long-term optimisation.

I've worked with heritage brands such as Carr Day Martin, entrepreneurs including Dom McGregor, fast-growing startups, and charitable organisations. I focus on building digital platforms that are robust, efficient, and designed for growth.

I'm particularly interested in the evolving role of AI and automation — improving user experiences, streamlining workflows, and creating smarter, more connected systems that deliver real business value.

03 / MY APPROACH

Understand · Design · Build · Refine

From first conversation to long-term optimisation — a process built around how platforms actually get used.

[01]

Understand the business

Before touching a stack, I map goals, constraints, and what success actually looks like for the people running it.

[02]

Design the system

Architecture, integrations, and delivery plans shaped by how the platform will be used — not how it looks in a diagram.

[03]

Build with intent

Clean implementation, sensible defaults, and code that another developer can pick up without a treasure hunt.

[04]

Ship and refine

Launch is a milestone, not the finish line. I optimise, monitor, and adapt as the business evolves.
