EverKnock is building a digital platform to streamline the user journey of buying a home. As CTO, I was responsible for technology strategy, innovation, and research - I devised our approach for integrating artificial intelligence with the home-buying process.

I co-founded Properr to make the process of buying and selling residential property faster and more transparent. I was responsible for the technical leadership that created our cloud platform, TrackMyMove, through which over £400M of assets were transacted. Our clients cut the timescales and fall-through rates of residential property transactions by 40%.

Delio provides white-labelled platforms to manage equity investment opportunities. As interim CTO, I supported the founders through London’s leading fintech accelerator and recruited and led the engineering team to deliver the minimum viable product to a major European bank.

Musiqli is a digital resource hub for the performing arts. Having secured grant funding and access to an accelerator, I led the development of a proof of concept, based around the idea of digital matchmaking for musicians.

As I worked on other projects, I found myself solving the same data marshalling and validation problems repeatedly. I created an open-source project to cleanly separate this logic from the rest of the software architecture, making it easy to write API-based applications without compromising good programming practice. Conduit is licensed under the permissive MIT license, enabling me to use it freely in client projects.
