The approachable expert.
Founder-led. Plain English. AWS Advanced Partner. Enterprise-grade engineering without the enterprise price tag.

Founder · AI Productivity
I spent nearly 20 years building and running technology systems in investment banking — complex, high-stakes environments where reliability isn't optional, plain English is a professional requirement, and cutting corners costs real money.
Along the way: an MSc in Computer Science, and a stint as Commercial Director at an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner — which is where I started seeing what enterprise-grade AI could actually do. And what it would take to make that accessible to smaller businesses.
AI Productivity is my answer to that question. Every engagement is founder-led. You deal with me, not a junior on a billing sheet. I've built the systems, I know the risk, and I'll tell you straight if something's not the right fit.

The gap in the market is real.
Most SMEs know AI matters but don't know where to start, who to trust, or what's real versus hype. The big consultancies are too expensive and too slow. The influencer-and-DIY layer is too shallow and too risky.
AI Productivity sits in the gap: enterprise-grade engineering — the kind that runs reliably, handles your data safely, and doesn't break when someone emails at 11pm — at a price a 30-person business can actually plan around.
The fixed-price model is deliberate. It removes the open-ended budget risk that kills most SME consulting deals before they start. You know the number before we write a line of code. That's the only way this works for the businesses we want to serve.
We don't do things the usual way.
- We don't sell slide decks about AI strategy. We build systems that run.
- We don't hide behind jargon. We explain everything until it makes sense to you.
- We don't overrun budgets or timelines. Fixed price means fixed price.
- We don't hand you off to a junior. You deal with the person who scoped and built your system, from start to finish.
- We don't disappear after the handover. We're there when something needs attention.
Why AWS Advanced Partner matters to you.
The AWS Advanced Partner designation isn't self-asserted. It's a third-party-validated mark that requires demonstrated technical competency, certified engineers, and a track record of delivering real projects on the AWS platform.
For you, it means the systems we build are engineered to the same standard large enterprises use — secure, reliable, and built to scale if your business does.
It also means you're not relying on a single developer's judgement. AWS provides frameworks, security standards, and architectural patterns that every system we build is measured against.
Most AI consultants and agencies can't say that. We can — and we think it matters when it's your business data and your business processes on the line.
