About

I’m a consultant, entrepreneur and software builder originally from the UK and now living in Thailand. I’ve spent 20 years building businesses, working with clients, and figuring out how to build products and take them to market. Most of my time is spent building and operating my own portfolio of AI-native software platforms, including MentionMachine. For the right projects, I’m also available for full-stack development and technical consulting when I think I can genuinely add value.
