I write to make the system easier to see
Essays about event technology, operational systems, practical AI, automation, interfaces, and the recurring human habit of repairing bad workflows with one more spreadsheet.
Technical when precision helps. Plain-spoken when the jargon is doing unpaid camouflage work. Always grounded in a real operational problem.

What an ottoman taught me about working hours
An ottoman put me in the hospital for 61 days. It was the best career advisor I've ever had.

I am a fractional CTO and technical adviser. I co-founded Symbiometry and served as its CTO from 2021 to 2026. I write from practical experience across systems, event technology, interfaces, automation and complex delivery.
Based in Windermere, England. Working in event technology since 2013.
The writing explains how I see the work. The commercial routes explain how I can help.
For fractional leadership, technical advice or a difficult delivery problem, start with the route closest to your situation.
