What I do

Four ways I can help

Most projects are a mix of these. You don't need to know which one you need — that's the first conversation.

AI-Powered Products

Full web and mobile apps with AI built into the core of how they work — not bolted on as a chat widget.

Internal Tools & Dashboards

The system your team is currently running on spreadsheets and group chats, rebuilt properly so it scales.

Automation & Integrations

Connect the tools you already use, cut out manual re-typing, and get alerts before deadlines are missed.

AI Strategy

An honest read on where AI will actually save you money or time — and where it's not worth the effort yet.

Selected work

Real products, in real use

Every one of these is a working product built for an actual business — not a demo.

Construction · Legal

Site Instruction & Claims Tracking

Tracks every site instruction, cost claim and legal deadline on a major construction contract, with automatic warnings before anything is missed. Runs live, with full activity logging for accountability.

● Live & actively monitored
Construction

International Contract Administration

Contract administration for large construction projects under international contract rules, so obligations and deadlines are tracked automatically instead of on paper.

● In active use with a client
Education

School Communication Hub

An all-in-one hub for private schools — homework, marks, calendars and parent updates, in English and Afrikaans, on phone or desktop.

● Fully built, demo-ready
Finance

Time Tracking & Invoicing

Lets a consultancy log hours across clients and staff, then turns that straight into branded, multi-currency invoices.

● Live with a working team
Industrial & Energy

Project Cost Modeling

Models the full cost of building a solar plant — equipment, financing, running costs — so a team can compare building it themselves against outsourcing.

● In active use
Coaching & Wellness

Relationship & Personality Assessments

Lets a coach or counsellor run relationship and personality assessments with clients, who get a personalised report back automatically.

● Working prototype
How it works

From idea to something your team uses

01

Discover

A straight conversation about what's actually slow, manual or error-prone today — and whether AI is the right fix for it.

02

Design & build

I design and build the real thing — not a slide deck. You see working screens early and often, not at the end.

03

Ship

It goes live for real users, with the boring-but-critical parts — security, backups, monitoring — handled properly.

04

Support & grow

Products change once real people use them. I stay on to fix, extend and tune it as your needs shift.

THE AI GUY

Builder

I design and ship AI-powered software for real businesses — from construction contract trackers to school communication apps to industrial cost models.

No agency layers, no handoffs between five different people. You talk to the person actually building it, from the first sketch to the day it's live and being used by your team.

I care more about a product that quietly works every day than one that looks clever in a demo. Most of what's in the work section above has been running, unattended, for months.

Questions

Before you reach out

I build software — websites, internal tools, mobile-friendly apps — with AI used where it genuinely helps: automating repetitive work, generating documents, spotting patterns, or answering questions. The goal is always a working product, not a proof of concept.
The whole thing — design, the visible app, the data behind it, logins and security, and the AI features themselves. Everything shown in the work section was built end to end this way.
A focused internal tool or automation can be working within a couple of weeks. A full product — logins, multiple types of users, ongoing support — is usually measured in months, with something usable to look at from the first week.
Yes. Some projects are built end to end this way; others slot in alongside a client's own staff or another contractor. Either way, you get direct access to the person doing the work.
That's exactly what the first conversation is for. Part of the job is telling you honestly when a simpler tool — or no new tool at all — is the better answer.
Construction and contract management, education, finance and invoicing, industrial and energy cost modeling, coaching and wellness, and consumer retail — see the work section above for specifics.
