I'm a Tech Lead and Product Strategist with over 2 decades of experience

I've built applications in Umbraco, Optimizely, Drupal, and Wordpress, and old rogues like DotNetNuke and Immediacy. I've even made some sites in SharePoint, but I don't like to talk about it.

I’ve advised clients such as Primark, the Houses of Parliament, Dixons, the NHS, BP, and New Balance on their technical and digital strategies.

Most of all, I am bold in my thinking, and listen closely to my heart.

Over the past 20 years, I've had the pleasure of working with some fantastic clients, and some fantastic people.

Some of my clients include:

• Nexer Group
• MSP Marketing Edge
• Primark
• Houses of Parliament
• The NHS
• Zoopla
• Marie Curie
• The Royal College of Physicians
• Currys PC World
• Milk & More
• The Ministry of Justice
• New Balance
• GKN

In case you're interested in the technologies that I'm familiar with

• In depth knowledge of C#, MVC, Entity Framework, and coding to SOLID standards
• Experienced with .NET Core
• Excellent understanding of Web APIs and associated design structure, particularly creating service providers for front-end consumption and SPAs
• Front end frameworks, using webpack and Vue.js 2.x and 3.x
• Mobile application development using Xamarin
• PHP, but only in an emergency these days

It's always nice to have some things to start a conversation with

• I'm a Lord of the Principality of Sealand
• I'm a qualified therapist and life coach, so happy to talk about any personal problems you're going through. But I will invoice you afterwards.
• I run a Meditation School called Maitri Meditation School.
• I'm a practising Buddhist, and have taken refuge with His Holiness Khenchen Lama Rinpoche. I only wear robes on special occasions though - I feel they're a bit dramatic for an office environment.
• I have a podcast called The Observing I, where I talk about philosophy, psychology, and the human condition. Go give it a listen on Substack
• I like the Oxford comma (see above)
