    AI for construction invoice approvals — check every line in minutes, not days. We help contract managers at mid-market construction firms cut invoice approvals from days to minutes. Every subcontractor invoice needs checking. Does it match the contract? Does it reflect what actually happened on site? The reality of construction changes daily, and that means digging through BOQs, variation orders, site photos and emails—often chasing people for clarification, all under pressure. The issues you catch cost time. The ones you miss—double payments, rate creep, scope gaps, variation confusion—cost money. Hypersite is an AI that understands construction billing. It pulls the right documents from your tools, checks each invoice line against the contract and site evidence, and reasons through what to approve, reject, or clarify. Clarifications happen in a built-in chat interface, right on the invoice. You or your subcontractor can reply with missing info, and the AI updates the logic and evidence behind the decision instantly. Every invoice builds a transparent, auditable record that can be shared with colleagues or clients.

  • Founder at Selva | Airborne eDNA
    May 2024 - Mar 2025 · 11 mos

    Selva delivers real-time biodiversity insights through airborne eDNA technology, empowering regenerative agriculture and ecosystem management. Highlights: Driving biodiversity innovation through Selva, with projects showcased at the Royal Society and Terra Carta Design Lab, and partnerships established with industry leaders like Mars and Ferrero to advance sustainable agriculture and conservation. Pioneering biodiversity monitoring by developing an MVP for airborne eDNA sampling technology, enabling real-time tracking of biodiversity and ecosystem health to support regenerative agriculture. Secured strategic partnerships with major brands, including Mars and Ferrero, to address biodiversity challenges in agriculture, and engaged rewilding projects like Restore Nature for extensive field testing. Led the design and prototyping of a cartridge-based sampler, reducing sampling costs and enhancing usability in the field, with applications validated for regenerative and agroforestry transitions. Achieved early-stage funding and secured lab analysis support through partnerships, including Applied Genomics, to scale the technology for broader environmental impact.

  • Industrial Design Fellowship at Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851
    Sep 2023 - Sep 2024 · 1 yr 1 mo

    • Exploring transition finance for brownfield real asset cleanup. • Developed innovative design concepts around how we connect with ourselves and nature. Prototyped with a focus on hardware interaction design, audio synthesis and environmental DNA sequencing. • Presented my Selva at the Royal Society, to leading UK researchers and innovators. Selva makes biodiversity monitoring scalable by simplifying the collection of airborne eDNA for lab analysis.
