Microsoft MVP · Architect · Building with AI and the cloud

I've been building software since October 2007. Most of those years went into architecting on the Microsoft stack — SharePoint, Azure and .NET — and I've been recognised as a Microsoft MVP four times.

These days I work where cloud meets AI: designing systems on Azure, building products with TypeScript and Next.js, and working alongside AI agents that plan, build and review code with me.

I build my own products end to end — web, mobile and the infrastructure underneath — and run most of them on servers I manage myself. This site is where I write down what I learn and ship the small tools that come out of it.

How I work

  • Validate, don't assume

    Read the source, measure it, then decide.

  • Answer first

    Short and direct; the detail is there if you need it.

  • Ship small, review hard

    Small steps, each one checked before the next.

  • Own the stack

    From schema to server, so nothing is a black box.

  • Spend wisely

    The simplest setup that does the job; scale when it's needed.
