I build ideas
into businesses,
systems & opportunities.

I'm a self-directed entrepreneur and multidisciplinary builder working across business, technology, AI, sport and community. I research problems, design solutions, build the systems that run them, and test the result in the real world.

01

Currently building

Live work, with its real status attached. Where something is still an idea, it says so.

02

What I do

Five areas that keep overlapping. The combination is the point — each project usually needs three of them at once.

03

The Lab

A build notebook. Problem, experiment, technology, result, next iteration — including the experiments that failed, because those are the useful ones.

Making a demo tell the truth

An early AR shot-trajectory mockup drew an arc and displayed numeric readouts that were produced separately. It looked convincing and it was quietly lying.

Result

Fixed. The visual and the values now share one source of truth, which also made the fit quality visible instead of hidden.

Shot detection in a phone browser, no training required

Real-time ball and hand tracking sounds like it needs a trained model and a native app.

Result

Working in-browser with no console errors and correct fallback when no API key is set. Both models were already pretrained — this turned out to be integration work, not machine learning work. Camera access needs HTTPS, so it runs behind a local certificate.

Putting spending authority in code instead of policy

An agent that can be talked into spending money is not governed by a document that says it cannot.

Result

The first agent runs at autonomy level zero with £0 authority, and every record so far is explicitly marked as simulation. Nothing real has been spent, which is the point at this stage.

Sport & community

Play On The Court — UK grassroots basketball, and the infrastructure that decides whether anyone gets to play it properly.

The gap in UK basketball isn't interest. It's infrastructure — courts, coaches, officials and a route from a local court to anything beyond it.

Play On The Court is a real brand with a live site, a schools programme plan and a pipeline of connected products sharing one set of foundations. No courts built, no funding raised — and the site says that everywhere it matters.
