My Journey in Tech

1989 - The Spark

Hello, World.

My passion ignited on a Sinclair Spectrum 128. My very first line of code wasn't just text; it was a realization that I could speak the machine's language.

2002 - The Builder

Building the Network

Long before modern Wi-Fi was ubiquitous, I established a technical workshop and engineered a Local Area Network (LAN) spanning an 800m radius.

This infrastructure provided shared internet access and low-latency multiplayer gaming for the local community, teaching me the fundamentals of network architecture and hardware scaling.

Career Milestones

Enterprise Solutions

Over the decades, I transitioned from hardware to software architecture, delivering critical systems for employers and clients.

Technical Expertise & Case Studies

WORKFLOW AUTOMATION

Enterprise Orchestration

n8n Zapier Webhooks

I design "invisible infrastructure" that connects disparate business tools. Whether using low-code platforms like Zapier for quick wins or self-hosted n8n nodes for complex data processing, I eliminate manual bottlenecks.

  • Cross-Platform Sync: Unifying data between CRMs, Support Desks, and Marketing tools.
  • Custom Integrations: Bridging legacy systems with modern APIs via custom webhooks.
  • Error Handling: Building resilient workflows that auto-recover from API failures.

MARKETING INFRASTRUCTURE

Email & Deliverability

ActiveCampaign Zoho Self-Hosted / SMTP

Deep expertise in the full spectrum of email marketing—from managing SaaS platforms to architecting self-hosted mailing engines for high-volume sending. I focus on the technical side of deliverability and domain reputation.

  • Platform Agnostic: Managing campaigns across ActiveCampaign, Zoho, and custom setups.
  • Cost Optimization: Migrating high-volume senders to self-hosted infrastructure to reduce overhead.
  • Deliverability: Configuring SPF, DKIM, and DMARC to ensure inbox placement.

AI-AUGMENTED DEV

Rapid Prototyping & AI

Claude / LLMs Replit Google Tools

Embracing the "Vibe Coding" methodology to accelerate development cycles. By leveraging AI assistants and cloud IDEs, I move from concept to functional MVP at 10x speed, focusing on logic and architecture over syntax boilerplate.

  • Speed to Market: Using Replit and AI agents to deploy functional apps in hours, not weeks.
  • Modern Stack: Generating clean, modular code with Claude and Google's AI tools.
  • Solution Focus: Shifting the engineering effort from "how to write this" to "what solves the problem."
