About

Between the people who need software and the people who build it

I started out facing customers: at a hotel reception desk, and then running advertising projects for clients. In 2017 I moved into IT at LayerV, a public cloud managed service provider, first on the service desk and then as a project manager, moving clients' existing infrastructure to the public cloud.

At Corner Case Technologies I ran custom web and mobile projects from start to finish: business analysis, design, leading the developers, testing by hand and supporting the client after launch. At U.S. Bank I was the product owner for Talech, a point-of-sale system, working with its backend and web back-office teams on SAFe planning, feature PRDs and what the product should do next.

My first product of my own went live in January 2026. I build with AI coding agents and a checking system I wrote for them, so every flow is driven in a real browser or phone simulator before it ships. Today my products are live on the App Store, the web and npm.

The consulting comes from the same place. I have seen product work from inside a bank and a custom software company, and I use the AI tools every day, so I can tell a business owner plainly what is worth doing, what it costs to keep running, and when it is not worth starting.

What I bring

What comes with the work

Decisions made before they get expensive

  • Eight years writing what software has to do, for the teams that build it, most recently as product owner for a point-of-sale system at a US bank.
  • Requirements taken apart before anyone writes code: what it must do, what it must not, and what happens when it fails.
  • The systems you already run, named at the start: what they can hand over, what they cannot, and what that integration costs.
  • Risks written down with an owner, the way a risk register does, instead of found halfway through.
  • Architecture agreed with the people who will run it: years spent between the business and the engineers who make the technical calls.

Speed you can see in the price

  • A software factory of my own: AI coding agents driven through a fixed chain, an architecture review before the code, a separate tester after it, security and accessibility checks before release.
  • Fewer handovers: no account manager and no ticket queue between you and the person building.
  • You pay for the work, not for the coordination around it.
  • My own products are live on the App Store, on the web and on npm, all built this way.

How we work together

  • You talk to the same person who does the work.
  • Scope and price are agreed in writing before work starts, and changes are agreed before they are made.
  • I recommend what fits and costs least, often something you already pay for. No software or AI vendor pays me a commission or a referral fee.
  • I say when something is not worth building, and when a feature you already have does the job.

What you can check yourself

  • Every product here has its own page: who it is for, what is hard to copy about it, why it is built that way.
  • The apps can be installed right now, and asc-mcp is open source on npm and GitHub.
  • Every flow is driven in a real browser or phone simulator before release, and checked against WCAG 2.2 AA.
  • The free assessment is scored in your own browser, and the answers stay there unless you send them.
