About.

Forty-something Manx bloke with a love for Liverpool FC, cycling, binge-worthy TV, and Weissbier.

I worked on Patched, a planned macOS app updater. Development has now ended. Alongside it, I worked on the development pipeline: defining work for AI agents, setting boundaries, and checking what they produce.

I write about what I'm learning on the blog. My current focus is AI development: where it helps, where my expectations have changed, and why domain experience, review and verification still matter.

I've spent twenty-seven years making technology easier to run. Most of that work has been in infrastructure, modern workplace and endpoint engineering: improving Windows and Mac environments, strengthening security, and automating repetitive work. That background shapes the questions I ask when building something new.

My most recent enterprise work covered a multi-country regulated estate, working across Windows, macOS, Intune, Jamf, Autopilot, identity, DLP and security tooling. I enjoy taking a fragmented platform, establishing a clear standard, and making it reliable and easier to support.

I also built the Arts Hub operating platform, which is in daily use. My development time is focused on my own products, and I'm not taking on software development for other organisations.

Alongside that, I run a small VPS and experiment with self-hosted tools, automation and local language models.
