How I work

I’m not trying to sell a named framework. This is mostly a hobby for me: I help local projects and small businesses I genuinely like, using simple, realistic and maintainable solutions.

Most small businesses don’t need a dozen new tools — they need clarity, less repetitive work, and better visibility on what truly matters. My work starts from what already exists: the shop floor, the inbox, spreadsheets, and customer conversations. Then we add just enough structure, automation and AI to create measurable improvement.

  • Understand reality: how work actually flows today (not how it “should” work).
  • Keep it light: remove friction before adding new systems.
  • Add targeted automation: only where it saves real time or reduces risk.
  • Use AI as an assistant: for content, documentation and decision support — not to replace people.
  • Work with the right people: local projects and small businesses where the fit is good.

If a project feels like a good fit, we can start with a simple conversation and see whether I can be useful.

Do you run a small business or local project and think we might be a good fit?

I mostly take on local projects and small businesses I genuinely enjoy helping. Whether it’s a website, workflow, documentation or an AI use case, the first step is understanding your reality.

You don’t need a full brief. A few lines about who you are, what you do and what’s slowing you down is enough to start.

First contact

The easiest way to start is to send me your context through the form. That lets me reply with something more useful than a generic message.
