Co-founder of Tandem Creative Dev, a software and AI engineering agency building web applications, AI systems, and data platforms for public sector bodies, national charities, and founders working on problems worth solving.
Before software, I trained as an architect. I think in systems, components, and long-term consequences, which turns out to be useful when building things that actually need to work.
I write about AI-assisted development, software engineering, machine learning and data science at maxitect.blog, I'm slowly getting back into it.
At Tandem Creative Dev — production AI systems, national government platforms, clinical triage tooling, NLP pipelines for safety-critical data, and web applications for organisations doing serious work.
Zeno — a standalone Node module that generates production-ready Next.js applications from JSON schema definitions. Eliminates boilerplate by automatically generating database models, UI components, pages, navigation, and API routes. Inspired by Zeno of Elea, who believed only one single entity makes up all reality which in my case is the JSON schema XD. An ambitious framework I will likely never finish, but am having a great time building and welcome contributions.
HULA Framework — a methodology for AI-assisted development that keeps humans genuinely in control. Six phases from conception to deployment, each with a different model type and a core action loop: Iterate, Question, Review, Explain. Built from real experience shipping production software with LLMs. Comes with a prompt-builder tool to manage your prompts across phases.
| Project | Description |
|---|---|
| Yapli | Open-source throwaway chatroom platform. Join instantly with a 6-digit code, no account needed. Built for educators and workshop facilitators. |
| Things We Do | Mobile app providing therapy and symptom-relief for behaviour control conditions like Tourette syndrome. Offline-first, PWA. |
| Zeno | JSON schema → full Next.js app generator. Ambitious. Possibly quixotic. |
| Prompt Builder | Local tool for managing and reusing prompts across the HULA framework phases. |
Co-facilitated a series of AI development workshops for professional developers in 2025. All materials are open:
- AI-Assisted Development — HULA framework, working with LLMs across the full dev lifecycle
- AI Pair Programming — practical techniques for coding with AI tools
- Multi-Agent Systems — building and orchestrating multi-agent AI workflows
