How I Work

I work remotely from New Zealand, keeping overhead low and passing that on to clients.

I use open-source tools for my own work — the same tools I help clients implement. This means I understand them from daily use, not from reading documentation.

AI-Augmented Development

One engineer delivering what used to require a team. I've built a 6-agent AI development workflow — Planner, Builder, Reviewer, Tester, Deployer, and Docs — orchestrated by a custom Python daemon.

This isn't theoretical. It's how I built the platform you're looking at right now. The result:

  • Faster delivery with built-in quality gates at every stage
  • Consistent code review and testing through automated agents
  • 26+ MCP server integrations for AI-tool interoperability
  • Multi-model consensus (Claude, GPT, Gemini) for architecture decisions

I can show you exactly how this works.

Direct Access

No account managers. No handoffs between departments. You work with the person who designs, builds, and deploys the system.

What this means in practice:

  • Direct communication — no message relay through project managers
  • Decisions made by the person doing the work
  • Accountability without organisational layers
  • Deep context that carries through the entire engagement

For projects requiring domain expertise beyond AI and power systems, I engage specialist associates on a project basis.

Open Source Stack

I run my practice on open-source platforms:

  • Nextcloud — File sharing and collaboration
  • OpenProject — Project management and tracking
  • n8n — Workflow automation
  • Qdrant + Neo4j — Vector search and knowledge graphs
  • Listmonk — Email marketing

I can help you set up similar infrastructure, or build custom AI systems that integrate with your existing tools.

Flexible Pricing

I offer traditional pricing — fixed fees, hourly rates, or project-based arrangements.

For some projects, I also offer a "Pay What Feels Right" option, where you decide what to contribute based on:

  • The value you see in the work
  • The impact on your organisation
  • Your current circumstances
  • How much you'd like to support what I do

This isn't suitable for every project, but I'm open to discussing whether it might work for yours.
