I build the tools that take repetitive work off your team

A small number of custom-built tools that take manual, repetitive work off your team and cut errors that come with it.

I write the code, and I have done the operational work myself.

You deal with the person who builds the tool, not a reseller fitting you to a platform.

Why?

I spent years in financial services. Watching skilled people do work a machine could do faster and more accurately, freeing up time for work that needs a human touch.

So I automated it.

I’ve seen first hand what a select number of well-built tools can do for a team under load, and that’s what I build for businesses now.

What I build?

I build a small number of well-made automation and AI tools that take manual, repetitive work off your team and cut the errors that come with it. The work is bespoke: fitted to the process you already run, not an off-the-shelf product you have to reshape your business around.

In practice, that usually means work like:

  • Data copied by hand between systems, moved across automatically and checked as it goes.

  • Reports rebuilt by hand every week or month, produced to the deadline without the manual assembly.

  • Figures reconciled across spreadsheets, so discrepancies surface earlier rather than later.

  • Approvals and sign-offs that stall in inboxes, routed and tracked so nothing sits waiting unseen.

I build a few tools properly rather than a sprawl of fragile ones, so what I deliver keeps working long after handover.

See Services for how an engagement works.

Where this comes from

My delivery record is primarily within financial services: investment-operations processes automated where the figures had to be right and the reporting deadline did not move. Manual, error-prone work, replaced with tools that ran accurately and to time.

My current work centres around process automation with the considered and careful implementation of AI: assessment and marking tools that remove hours of manual review, and conversational AI built for career coaching.

The pattern is not tied to one sector. The same manual, repetitive, error-prone tasks turn up in any business that runs on operations, whatever it makes or sells.

How the work runs

There are three ways to work with me:

  • Advise. A scoped review and a written plan you own outright: what to build, what it will take, and whether to build it at all.

  • Build. End-to-end delivery of the agreed tool, tested, documented and handed over.

  • Run. Ongoing operation of a live system: monitoring, fixes and changes as the business grows.

See Services for what each tier includes.

What to expect:

  • I start with the problem, not a product. Scope, systems touched and success criteria are agreed in writing before any build.

  • I test before anything touches live work. Edge cases get found in development, not in production.

  • Every build is handed over with documentation, so the tool does not depend on my memory.

  • I am one person. That means direct access to the person who builds it, and no account-management layer. It also means agreed response targets rather than resolution guarantees, declared leave, and no pretence of 24/7 cover.

Start with the problem

If your team is spending hours on work a tool could do, tell me what the work is: what it does, where it goes wrong, and what it is costing. If it is something I can help with, I will tell you how. If it is not, I will tell you that too.
