I'm a software developer and entrepreneur in Cambridge, UK. I've co-founded three companies that were acquired.

I was the technical co-founder of Conversocial, a VC-backed enterprise SaaS company acquired by Verint (Nasdaq: VRNT) for $50m in 2021.

Earlier exits include a Facebook app agency (iPlatform) sold to larger competitor Betapond, and a bootstrapped WordPress plugin business (Google Apps Login) sold to a US-based portfolio company.

Since then I have worked on machine learning, open source data science tooling, and fractional CTO roles for startups. Now I'm building Stepthrough and Noodlet.

I am a pro bono mentor for the Founder Institute London accelerator programme and a member of the Computing School's Employer Advisory Group at Anglia Ruskin University.

Despite being a developer, my motto is “don't bother building it!” until you know who needs it.

I'm always happy to meet founders for free, so get in touch. On the Founder Institute London programme? Please book through their office hours site.

Through Ideonate I have also taken on occasional fractional CTO and advisory roles, some of which are shown above.
