Work history
ClearSignal
Technical Lead & Chief Technology Officer
Technical lead for a B2B platform combining credit data, compliance workflows, and AI decisioning for regulated businesses. Built the principal technical stack from scratch, brought the product to MVP, and took it to market in January 2026.
What I built:
- Product architecture from the ground up
- Hybrid cloud infrastructure (Azure, GCP, on-premise)
- AI policy-to-rules engine
- AI credit decisioning system
- Compliance workflows and data integrations
- CI/CD pipelines and deployment infrastructure
Wrote the v1 codebase, defined the technical foundations for scale, built the operational delivery model, and hired the engineers needed to take the product through launch.
Blue Tahiti Software Ltd
Chief Technology Officer
Built and shipped SaaS products from zero to paying customers. Designed and built early MVPs and technical stacks, set up infrastructure, hired teams, and supported live customers in production.
This is where I learned how to build real products, not just prototypes, but systems companies paid for and depended on.
What I did:
- Took products from idea to production across architecture, code, and deployment
- Set up business processes and technical delivery
- Worked with commercial teams on branding and go-to-market
- Recruited engineers and stayed hands-on in the codebase
- Supported enterprise and SME customers in production
- Designed and implemented network and server infrastructure
Lloyds TSB Asset Finance Division
Systems development and support
Worked in a regulated financial environment. Built and maintained systems handling enterprise-scale operations. This is where I learned how compliance actually works and why you can't ship software that breaks in a bank.
Worked with SQL and C#. Learned the difference between "works in dev" and "works when it has to."

Virgin Media
Technical Support Advisor (Sep 2003 – Sep 2004)
