Build it.
Market it.
Lead the team.
Fifteen years as a developer, marketer and manager. I work inside law firms, agencies and startups as the one person who understands the code, the campaigns and the people running both.

Ten ways to bring me in.
Every engagement starts with a short audit of your code, analytics and backlog. Then we pick the shape: a few days a week, a fixed project, or a monthly retainer.
- 01
Fractional leadership
Head of digital or tech lead for two or three days a week. I run the team and report to you.
- 02
Project consulting
Scoped engagements with a defined outcome: a rebuild, a migration, a launch.
- 03
Team audit and strategy
Two weeks inside your marketing or development team, then a plan you can act on.
- 04
Hands-on development
Nuxt, Laravel, WordPress, REST APIs, AWS. I still ship code.
- 05
Marketing and SEO retainer
Search, paid and content, run monthly and reported plainly.
- 06
Training and workshops
Practical sessions for in-house teams, delivered through Everskill.
- 07
Forward-deployed engineering
I join your team as a forward-deployed engineer: on your standups, in your codebase, shipping alongside your people until the thing is live.
- 08
AI agents
Custom AI agents for client intake, document handling and support, built on your data with the guardrails a regulated firm needs.
- 09
AI workflows and automation
Map the repetitive work in your marketing and operations, then automate it with AI where it pays back. Measured, not hyped.
- 10
AI-powered business
A roadmap and build programme to put AI into every function of the business: sales, delivery, support and finance, with the training to keep it running.
How an engagement runs
Four steps. No surprises.
The same shape whether I am leading a team for a year or rebuilding one site in six weeks.
- 01
Audit
I read the code, the analytics and the backlog, and talk to the people doing the work.
Week 1–2 - 02
Plan
A short written plan: what to fix, what to build, what to stop, and what it costs.
Week 2 - 03
Deliver
Hands-on with your team or mine. Weekly demos, plain-language reporting.
Weeks 3+ - 04
Hand over
Documentation, training and a team that can run it without me.
Final 2 weeks
Toolkit
What I work with.
Four disciplines, one person. The tools change; knowing which to reach for, and when not to, is the job.

About
Developer first. Marketer by necessity. Manager by experience.
I started on Elance in 2013 building WordPress themes, completed 250+ contracts on Upwork, then moved into platforms. At Worldview International Group I led Find Visa Counsellor and Worldview Pro from MVP to live apps on web, iOS and Android.
In 2022 I founded Devute, where a cross-functional team has delivered 700+ projects. Today I consult, most recently embedded with Din Solicitors in Halifax across their marketing and development work.
Ventures
Two companies I helped start.
Both run day to day without me at the front. Devute is where products get built; Everskill is where the teaching happens.

A 30-minute call is enough to tell whether I can help. If I cannot, I will say so and point you to someone who can.
