Introduction

I'm a hands-on technical leader who's scaled an engineering organisation from 3 to 80+ employees and navigated a major pivot to reach LinkedIn's Top 10 UK Startups. I lead from the front—I can architect systems, ship code, and build the team around it. My style is direct and outcome-focused. I'll tell you what you need to hear, not what's comfortable. For early-stage founders, that often means slowing down on hiring and speeding up on clarity—most startups over-engineer too early. What makes me different: I measure success by becoming unnecessary. I build engineering teams and systems that don't need me, whether that's hiring your permanent CTO or creating a self-sustaining org.
