Work

Case studies, the shape of my delivery, and every year of it.

How I work

Twenty five years building for the web, half of them running the business as well as the codebase. I have been the founder, the CTO, the solution architect and the person still writing the code at midnight, which means I am comfortable owning an outcome rather than a ticket. I take the roles where the problem is ambiguous, the customer is in the room, and someone has to turn a promising pilot into something that survives contact with production.

  • Embedded delivery. I work inside your team, on your stack, against your deadline.
  • Last mile specialist. Pilots that demo well and die at integration are the problem I solve.
  • Full ownership. Discovery, architecture, build, deploy, runbook, handover.
  • Provider agnostic. Local models and hosted APIs behind one interface, chosen on cost and latency.
  • Business literate. I have run payroll, so I read a roadmap as a P&L, not a wish list.

Three that mattered

CPTO and solution architect

Cleverly

Three years as hands-on CPTO and solution architect on a computerised maintenance management platform. Sensors, IoT telemetry and real-time notification pulled into one operational picture so facilities teams could act on a failing asset before a tenant reported it.

Lead developer, ISO 20121

Jack Morton

Sole developer on an internal sustainability platform for ISO 20121. I liaised across the whole agency to push the mandate and shape a system people would actually use, rather than a compliance form nobody opens twice.

Delivery lead, public sector

Lambeth Council

Public sector delivery for a TfL programme. Microsites explaining the change to local businesses and residents, held to accessibility guidelines, a long browser support matrix and a deployment architecture the council could live with.
