Work with me
More capacity for your roadmap.
I work with product teams to ship more of their roadmap and use agents across the business. Start with a working day to build a shared workflow, a sprint for one release or an ongoing partnership across product, growth and operations. Each has a written scope.

Common questions
Working together.
Practical details about scope, fees, reviews and handover.
Contact meThe first call is free and takes 30 minutes. We discuss the project, your team and the help you need. A short description is enough; you don’t need a finished specification.
Team adoption is £2,500 fixed, including preparation, a working day and documentation. Delivery sprint: From £10,000 per project, with a fixed quote for the scoped release. Ongoing partnership: From £12,000 a month for agreed priorities and delivery capacity. Scope, timing and fees are agreed in writing before work begins. Fees exclude applicable VAT; software and usage costs are agreed separately.
I use your tools, codebase and review process. Before starting, we agree who makes decisions and which parts of the work I own. Your team can review the implementation throughout, and the documentation stays with the project.
Both, depending on the engagement. A working day covers one agent workflow with your team. A sprint covers a defined release. An ongoing partnership lets me follow projects through several releases. The written scope sets out my responsibilities.
We choose a recurring task, collect examples of how it works today and build an agent workflow around it. The setup includes tool access, instructions and review steps. We compare its output and time requirements with the existing process before expanding it.
Each agent gets a defined brief, access and review process. I take responsibility for the work I deliver; your team keeps control of business decisions and the systems it owns. We expand what agents can do as the workflow demonstrates reliable results.
We agree the measure before building: delivery time, activation, conversion, qualified enquiries or hours spent on a manual task. The review compares results with the baseline and records what the available data can tell us.
The code, workflows, prompts and documentation we build for you, in accounts you control. Handover covers how the work runs, who owns it and what it costs to operate. Software, hosting and AI usage costs are agreed before starting.
Ten years of consulting across more than 100 client engagements, including Framer, The Motley Fool, Groupon and Contra, alongside founding and selling three software businesses. The case studies cover that history; the recent build accounts describe my work with agents.
