20 years shipping; CTO of a $32M company before thirty (Inc 5000 #5, 2016); delivery across 9 Fortune 500 and 3 Fortune 50 clients. UK-based, remote-first. Billed outside IR35 via UK Ltd.
Senior contract engineering
Embedded on your build, shipping production LLM/agent features and the systems around them.
2–5 days/week · 4–12 week engagements · £800–950/day
AI advisor — for owners & solo founders
You know AI could take work off your plate, but not what to automate, buy, build, or ask a developer. I help you set priorities, challenge proposals, uncover costs and risks, and decide where humans still matter. Plain English. No jargon. No vendor pitch.
Fixed-fee AI Opportunity Review · ongoing advisory available
Founding / first-AI engineer
For early teams that need someone to stand up the agent stack and the patterns to scale it.
Part- or full-time · day-rate or advisory-equity blend · let’s talk
Fractional CTO / AI lead
Technical leadership, architecture, and eval discipline without a full-time hire.
1–3 days/week retainer · from £6–10k/month
Implementation recovery (via WeSync)
Independent audit and remediation of a stalled or botched software/AI rollout — vendor-free.
Fixed-fee: 21-day Recovery Audit, then remediation scoped from findings
Someone who designs the failure modes before the happy path, ships measurable production wins, and works fluently across the stack and the modern LLM tooling layer — Anthropic / Claude / DeepSeek, MCP, agent orchestration, evals.
- LLM content-audit agent: 4 contractual contradictions caught across 126 emails; corrections to 38 customers, zero failures.
- Trade reconciliation: $540k of phantom data caught; P&L re-anchored to source of truth.
- WeSync recovery: $65k of mis-billed dues recovered for an association; 21-day audit, 8-week fix.
- Company.com: rebuilt 6 years of platform in 9 months; #5 fastest-growing private company in America (Inc 5000, 2016).
“When a client’s AI or data deployment has gone sideways, he’s the one who strips away the vendor abstraction, shows you the real state of the system, and designs the fix — failure modes before the happy path. He pairs deep production engineering with genuine fluency in the modern AI stack, and he’s as clear explaining the risk to a board as he is in the guts of the system. Anyone building or recovering an AI system would be lucky to have him.”
