Founder of Conxera

Building practical technology for real businesses.

I build products at the intersection of AI, software and real-world operations. My work is shaped by experience in engineering, banking, commercial operations and entrepreneurship. Today my primary focus is Conxera, an AI platform helping UK SMEs compete more effectively for public-sector contracts.
