About

I help small businesses get practical digital systems that actually work — without the jargon or the runaround. Whether you need a website that looks professional and loads fast, automation that saves you hours each week, or AI tools that handle repetitive tasks, I build solutions that fit your business, not the other way around.

I also help households with home technology — smart home setups, Wi-Fi that actually reaches every room, CCTV and security cameras, and general tech support when things just aren't working. My approach is calm, patient, and in plain English. No rushing, no judgement, and you'll understand how everything works by the time I leave.

Based near Canary Wharf in London, I offer face-to-face support for clients who prefer working with someone in person. For businesses and households elsewhere in the UK, I deliver the same hands-on approach virtually — with clear communication and real results.

My background spans e-commerce, digital marketing, and systems development. I've run the operations side of businesses, so I understand what it's like when things break at the worst possible moment. That's why I focus on reliable, maintainable solutions and proper handover so you're never left stuck.

How Home Tech Support Works

1

Quick Chat

We'll have a brief conversation about what's not working or what you'd like to set up. No commitment, just understanding what you need.

2

Diagnose & Plan

I'll figure out what needs to happen and give you a clear idea of time and cost before any work starts.

3

Setup or Fix

I'll do the work — whether that's setting up new equipment, fixing what's broken, or improving what's already there.

4

Test Everything

We'll test everything together to make sure it all works properly in real-world use.

5

Show You How It Works

I'll walk you through how to use everything, answer your questions, and make sure you feel confident.

6

Ongoing Support (Optional)

If anything goes wrong later or you have questions, I'm happy to help. No pressure to sign up for anything ongoing.

Where I Work

I'm based near Canary Wharf in London and offer in-person home visits locally. For straightforward issues, I can often help remotely via video call — guiding you through fixes or setups from wherever you are in the UK.

No stupid questions

If something's not working or you're not sure where to start, just get in touch. I'm happy to have a quick chat and see if I can help.

Projects

Chatty Cleans

End-to-End Design & Development

A friendly, reliable cleaning service built around consistency and trust. Clients share their preferences once, and each visit is recorded with a clear checklist of what was done — fewer misunderstandings, higher standards, and reassurance for anyone arranging cleaning for a relative. I shaped the service concept, designed the website, wrote the copy, and built the full platform from public-facing site through to behind-the-scenes tools for managing preferences and visit records.

Moorly

End-to-End Design & Development

A social platform made specifically for UK canals and rivers — a place for boaters and towpath regulars to share updates, photos, and useful local info. Content is organised by stretches of canal rather than a general timeline, so you can browse what's happening on the bit of water you care about: stoppages, moorings, tips, warnings, and everyday moments. Built with privacy, accessibility, and moderation in mind.

Isobar

Creator & Solo Developer

A macOS app that helps you understand your Wi-Fi without the stress. It quietly monitors connection stability in the background, detects drops and slowdowns, and turns them into clear, calm insights. Designed for both non-technical users who want reassurance, and technical users who want real data like latency, packet loss, and uptime. Built end-to-end as a native macOS app with a strict privacy-first approach: no accounts, no tracking, all data stored locally.

ShadowMe

End-to-End Design & Development

A social diary with a social-media layer — a place where people post thoughts and moments to a personal timeline, keep things private by default, and choose what to share when it feels right. Designed to feel more reflective and intentional than typical social platforms. Built end-to-end including an AI-assisted layer for content moderation, understanding tone/context, and suggesting reactions so interactions feel natural without users overthinking them.
