# ⭐ 5★ Work. Real Delivery. No Excuses.

I’m the **CTO and Co-Founder of Planaroo**, where I lead the technical development of an advanced property-technology and AI platform.

Alongside Planaroo, I continue to accept a **small number of carefully selected client projects**. This provides an additional income stream while allowing businesses and founders to work directly with an experienced CTO, product builder and AI specialist.

I have delivered projects for:

* Professionals working within the **Ministry of Defence**
* People and organisations connected to the **NHS**
* Businesses operating within the **oil and gas industry**
* Founders developing new digital products and technology businesses

I also have a strong professional presence on LinkedIn, where I share my work, experience and views on technology, entrepreneurship and AI.

I pride myself on my 5★ reviews. Are you ready to be the next?

## Here’s the Truth Most Developers Won’t Tell You

I’ve been on the other side of the table.

I’ve built businesses that received Forbes coverage, won awards and achieved multi-million-pound valuations.

I have also experienced first-hand how difficult it can be to find developers and agencies capable of consistently delivering what they promise.

I tried freelancers.

I invested as much as £30,000 per month in agencies.

I outsourced and hired internally.

Time after time, I was left with:

* Half-finished products
* Illogical architecture
* Corners being cut
* Poor communication
* Bugs being passed off as “acceptable”
* Deadlines repeatedly being moved

Eventually, I stopped relying on promises and learned to build the products myself.

I studied relentlessly, often working 17-hour days, developing extensive experience across:

* Flutter
* React Native
* TypeScript
* Python
* Artificial intelligence
* AI agents and automation
* System and product architecture
* End-to-end digital product delivery

I didn’t do it simply to become another developer.

I did it to become the developer and technical partner I could never find.

## AI Is Not an Add-On

AI is one of my strongest areas of expertise.

I don’t simply add a chatbot to a product and call it an AI platform. I design practical AI systems that solve genuine business problems.

That can include:

* AI-powered products and customer experiences
* Intelligent automation
* AI agents and operational workflows
* Document and data analysis
* Business process automation
* Integrating leading AI models into existing platforms
* Developing entirely new AI-first products

The businesses gaining the greatest advantage from AI are not necessarily the ones spending the most money. They are the ones identifying where AI can create real efficiency, improve the customer experience or enable something that was not previously possible.

I help businesses find and build those opportunities.

## How I Work

I don’t force projects, and I don’t accept every enquiry.

We have an honest conversation and establish whether there is alignment around:

* The vision
* The commercial opportunity
* The technical requirements
* Expectations
* Budget
* The way we work together

When the fit is right, we build something exceptional.

When it isn’t, that is absolutely fine. Not everyone is right for everyone.

## What You Get

* Clean, logical and maintainable code
* Careful planning before development begins
* Commercial thinking alongside technical expertise
* Extensive practical experience with AI
* End-to-end ownership and delivery
* Fair pricing for high-quality workmanship
* Direct access to the person actually building your product
* A technical partner who understands founders and businesses
* 5★ standards without excuses

## In Short

My primary role is building Planaroo as its CTO and Co-Founder.

However, I enjoy working with a select number of ambitious clients alongside it. It keeps me connected to different industries, introduces me to interesting people and provides an additional stream of income without the need to build a traditional development agency.

So, if you want:

* A product built properly
* Someone who understands both business and engineering
* Genuine, practical AI expertise
* Direct access to an experienced CTO and founder
* Someone who takes responsibility for delivery

Get in touch.

Let’s build something you are proud to ship.
