The Path Here

Twenty-five years ago, I started teaching IT and technology. Since then, I’ve helped thousands of people—from complete beginners to senior professionals—understand complex systems.

Along the way, I trained as an aeronautical engineer (systems thinking) and pursued architecture (design thinking). These aren’t separate skills—they all converge on the same principle: good design solves problems elegantly.

When AI tools exploded in capability, I saw an opportunity. The cost of building a business has collapsed. What once required £30,000 and a development team can now be built with expertise and guidance.

But here’s the thing: domain experts—people with decades of valuable experience—often feel overwhelmed by the tech. That’s where I come in. I’m the bridge between your expertise and AI power.
