AI Engineer · Bristol & South West, UK

I build AI systems
that build software.

Twenty-five years as an engineer, architect and lead. Now building autonomous multi-agent development: software factories on local hardware, judged on cost and latency rather than demos. Here's the work, and what I got wrong on the way.

I work in the open — here and on my YouTube channel.

What I'm building

Open source

GuardKit

AI-assisted development with quality gates — where all of the below started. Docs at guardkit.ai.

Own tooling

A software factory

Planner, architect, product owner and build agents that write features, run them and fix them, on hardware under my desk.

Personal build

Study Tutor

A private, Socratic GCSE tutor on a fine-tuned model, with a phone app and a Reachy Mini robot. Now heading for a hosted deployment.

Product exploration

Small agents, earned trust

Agents with one job each, hired by conversation, which pass an exam before they can run and ask before every action.

Working on something agentic?

Thirty minutes, no pitch — just a second pair of eyes.
