I build software, contribute to open source, and use technology to support charities and the people they serve — with over 15 years of experience in engineering, leadership, psychology and mental health.
I'm a software engineer and technical leader with over 15 years of experience building products, leading teams, and shipping code. I've founded companies, held Board‑level roles in PE‑backed businesses, and recently, I've built the technology behind neurobetter — a charity I co‑founded to support neurodivergent people struggling with their mental health.
Today, I help organisations make the most of technology, build open‑source tools, and figure out what to actually do with AI – from strategy to build.
I'm also training in psychodynamic psychotherapy, because understanding how people think matters as much as how systems work.
WHAT I BUILD
I work primarily with Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, and TypeScript — building everything from developer tools and API integrations to full SaaS platforms. I contribute to open source, maintain published gems, and care deeply about code quality, testing, and infrastructure.
Recent work includes an open‑source CMS, charity website auditing tools, MCP server integrations, and DNS tooling adopted into Homebrew. I write about the things I learn along the way.

NEUROBETTER
I'm the Founder of neurobetter, a registered charity supporting neurodivergent people with their mental health. I built the technology platform from scratch and lead both the technical direction and the charity's governance as a trustee.
neurobetter provides training, resources, and advocacy grounded in lived experience and evidence‑based practice — helping both individuals and the organisations that support them.

MENTORING & COACHING
Alongside my technical work, I mentor and coach people navigating technology leadership, neurodiversity, and career transitions — drawing on lived experience of late diagnosis, founding companies, and rebuilding after setbacks.
Whether you're working out your next career steps, understanding your ADHD or autism, or need someone who genuinely gets it, I can help you find perspective and make a plan.
