About

Commando first. Engineer second. Founder since.

I served as a Royal Marines Commando before I wrote production software. The engineering came next, then five years of shipping: two employers, contract work, and a string of my own products. Several are live right now. I work daily in Claude and Claude Code, run my own MCP tooling, and have shipped to production as a solo engineer repeatedly.
