About

I help startups, SMEs, Governments & Enterprises across the UK, UAE and KSA turn ideas into scalable digital products, without the usual delays, complexity or inflated costs. With 18+ years of experience across retail, sports, e-commerce, logistics, education, healthcare and fintech, I've worked with businesses at every stage from early-stage MVPs to enterprise platform transformation. I bring both the strategic oversight and the hands-on delivery experience to actually get things built. I operate across UK, UAE and KSA backed by cost-effective execution. Whether it's fintech infrastructure, AI-powered platforms, healthcare systems or custom web and mobile development, I bring the right team to the right problem. My background spans IT delivery, digital transformation and building tech businesses across three continents, including a successful e-commerce exit in 2017. What I don't do: ❌ Overcomplicate things ❌ Drag projects for months with no visible progress ❌ Build technology that doesn't deliver measurable business results You'll typically reach out if: ✅ You have a product idea but don't know how to build it properly ✅ Your current tech partner is underdelivering ✅ You need a UK-based point of contact with offshore/onshore/nearshore delivery capability ✅ You're in healthcare or fintech and need specialist compliance knowledge (HIPAA, BaaS) I'm also building Care Lite, a HealthTech platform reimagining community-based care for culturally diverse communities in the UK. If you're in the care sector or social impact tech, I'd love to connect. Based in Newcastle upon Tyne. Open to conversations across the UK, UAE and KSA. 📅 Book a call: https://calendar.app.google/vvCCaeeyagy7FWb96
