Transforming Business Requirements into Rapid Technical Proofs of Concept.

Tell me the requirement and I'll come back with something you can click through, not a slide deck. I use AI to shorten the path from first conversation to working demo, and I've taken 10 solutions from idea to production in the past year.

Start a POC See the 10 builds
  1. UnderstandDiscovery, stakeholder inputs, the real requirement
  2. PrototypeAI assisted build of a working first version
  3. ProveDemo to stakeholders, refine, UAT
  4. ProductioniseDeploy, hand over, keep it running

What I offer

One person who understands the business problem and can build the answer, so nothing gets lost between the analyst and the developer.

Rapid proofs of concept

A working POC built from your requirements, so stakeholders can see and test the idea before committing budget to it.

  • Dashboards, trackers and internal tools
  • Portal integrations and scheduled data sync
  • Role based access and multi stakeholder workflows

AI powered solutions

Finding where AI models genuinely help in a workflow, prototyping it, and showing whether it earns its place.

  • LLM assisted analysis and documentation
  • AI accelerated prototyping and development
  • Practical experiments before big decisions

Requirement to demo

Discovery and business analysis that ends in something running, not a document waiting for a developer.

  • Discovery questionnaires and stakeholder interviews
  • BRDs, process maps and business understanding docs
  • UAT coordination and client handover
Built
10 production grade solutions, deployment owned end to end on every one
Discovery
5 prospective pipeline opportunities, with business understanding documents used in revised proposals
Domains
Logistics, customs, shipping, manufacturing, staffing, wellness, enterprise ops, ERP retail

AI in every POC

I have hands on exposure to AI and large language models, and they're built into how I go from requirement to working proof of concept.

  • Understanding faster

    Using LLMs to draft discovery questionnaires, structure stakeholder notes and spot gaps in requirements before the next client conversation.

  • Documenting faster

    Speeding up BRDs, process descriptions and business understanding documents, with my own review on every output.

  • Building faster

    AI assisted development for prototyping, debugging and writing integration code, which shortens the gap between an idea and a working POC.

  • Exploring models

    Experimenting with AI models in Python, including running models locally, to understand where they genuinely fit in business workflows and where they don't.

Proofs of concept, taken to production

Ten client builds that started as a requirement and ended up live, plus one personal project. Client names are withheld for confidentiality.

Also prepared business understanding documents and discovery deliverables for prospects in wellness, automotive, logistics, healthcare and packaging.
