I design and build technology.
From early research and system architecture to firmware, electronics, and produced hardware. I go deep enough to own the big decisions and stay hands-on enough to build the actual thing, using context-guided AI to move faster across all of it.
What I do
I work across the full arc of building a technical product. Researching what actually needs to exist, shaping the architecture and the decisions everything else depends on, then developing it hands-on across mechanics, electronics, firmware, and software.
Owning that whole span, instead of one slice of it, is the point. I hold enough context to make good calls in the bigger picture, and I stay hands-on enough that those calls survive contact with reality. The person deciding is also the person building, so fewer things get lost in translation.
Broad by design
I don’t specialise in one narrow thing, and that’s deliberate. Being at home in mechanics, electronics, firmware, software, and the systems around them lets me connect ideas that usually get lost between separate experts, cut the handoffs, and catch the mismatch between what looks right on paper and what actually holds up.
Being broad is often treated as a weakness. I’ve found the opposite. The most interesting problems live exactly where disciplines meet, and someone comfortable in all of them can move through that space without friction. That’s where I do my best work.
How I work
I usually come in as an external, and I work as part of your team, not around it. I plug into the people and tools you already have, keep things transparent, and share enough context that others can build on what I do. The best decisions come from the group seeing the whole picture, not from one person working in a corner.
From there it’s about making things tangible fast: shape the architecture, prototype, test, find what breaks, fix it, repeat. I stay concrete and move quickly, and I’m at my best sitting with your specialists on the parts where our domains meet. The goal is always the same: technology that is clear, functional, and ready for real use, not a document about it.
Building with AI
I build with AI as a serious tool, not a gimmick. The trick isn’t the model, it’s the context you feed it. Given the right constraints and background, it makes me dramatically faster at firmware, research, and working through problems I haven’t seen before. It’s a big part of how one person can credibly cover this much ground.
It’s also where clients hand me the things they’re not sure how to approach. “Can you experiment with an AI-generated illustration for this?” Those in-between jobs are half the fun, and they keep turning into new skills.
Who I work with
Small teams and startups. You don’t need a full-time hardware, firmware, or ops person, and hiring one for a single product doesn’t make sense yet. I’m the technical person you plug in to move the actual bottleneck, across as many domains as it takes.
Growing companies. You have good specialists, but the cross-domain work keeps falling through the cracks between them. I connect the pieces, de-risk the parts nobody owns, and build the prototype that proves whether the idea holds, so your teams can commit with confidence.
Selected Work
A few of the products I’ve helped build. Deep technical involvement, from first prototype to working, produced hardware.

SPACEMAKERS
I’m also a co-founder of SPACEMAKERS, where we design and build interactive audiovisual installations end to end: hardware, software, show control, and install. It’s where a lot of my system-integration and real-world-under-pressure experience comes from.

I spent a lot of my childhood in my dad’s workshop, taking things apart to see how they worked.
Not all of them went back together.
I started working for myself at twenty, still a student at the time, because I was too curious and
too impatient to wait around. These days it’s products, installations with Spacemakers, and a house
I’m renovating (which I may have underestimated). :)
Let’s build something
Working on a technical product or problem, and want someone who can research, design, and build it?
When I commit to something, you can count on it. Enthusiastic, flexible, and happy to go the extra mile when it actually matters.
