Average response time: < 24 hours
As a Manchester-based CTO and Technical Architect with 18+ years of experience, I offer a comprehensive range of technical services designed for UK businesses at every stage of growth. Whether you need a production-ready web application, AI integration that actually works, or senior technical leadership without the full-time executive cost — I deliver solutions built on proven architectures and real-world experience.
Full-Stack Development & Architecture
My web development practice centres on Next.js, React, and Node.js — the same stack powering the products of companies like Vercel, Netflix, and Notion. I build SaaS platforms, customer portals, internal tools, and e-commerce systems with a focus on performance (sub-200ms API responses), reliability (99.9% uptime), and maintainability. Every project includes proper TypeScript typing, automated testing, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code.
For businesses with existing systems, my API development service creates clean integration layers that connect your tools — CRMs, payment systems, ERPs, and third-party services — through well-documented RESTful or GraphQL APIs.
AI Integration & Automation
AI integration goes beyond plugging in ChatGPT. I build production-grade RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems that ground AI responses in your actual business data, eliminating hallucinations and ensuring GDPR compliance. From custom AI chatbots for customer support to document intelligence pipelines, I design AI solutions with cost management, fallback strategies, and human-in-the-loop workflows built in from day one.
My process automation practice uses n8n (self-hosted, no per-workflow limits) to connect your systems and eliminate manual data entry. I've helped clients save 40+ hours per week by automating invoice processing, lead routing, inventory sync, and compliance reporting — with proper error handling and monitoring so you know immediately if something needs attention.
Technical Leadership & Due Diligence
As a Fractional CTO, I provide senior technical oversight for startups and scale-ups that need experienced leadership without the £150k+ salary. This includes architecture decisions, team mentoring, vendor evaluation, and investor communication. For VC firms and PE funds, I offer fixed-scope Technical Due Diligence — independent code audits, security reviews, and scalability assessments delivered as board-ready reports within 1-2 weeks.
My Legacy Modernization service helps established businesses safely migrate from outdated stacks (PHP, AngularJS, monoliths) to modern architectures using the strangler fig pattern — no big-bang rewrites, no business disruption.
Infrastructure & DevOps
Every application needs reliable infrastructure. I set up Docker containerization, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI), monitoring with Sentry, and cloud infrastructure on AWS, DigitalOcean, or Vercel. The goal is simple: deployments should be boring, predictable, and reversible.
All services are delivered from Manchester, UK with full GDPR compliance, GMT-timezone availability, and the option for in-person strategy sessions. Start a project or book a free consultation to discuss your needs.
