AI Consultant — Engineer — Designer

I help individuals and small teams put AI to work — and I ship my own, like Dramour, a whisky app with an AI concierge.

About
Most people are stuck between reading AI headlines and hiring an engineering team. I work in that gap.
I’m an AI consultant, engineer and designer. I work directly with individuals and small teams — not procurement, not committees — to figure out what AI can actually do for their specific situation, and to build it myself when that’s what’s needed.
I trained across all three disciplines deliberately, because the interesting problems rarely sit inside just one. A tool nobody can trust is a design failure even if the model is excellent. A brilliant strategy nobody can build is not a strategy.
Engagements are fixed-scope and agreed up front — no hourly meter, no retainer by default. Every one ends with a proper handover: your accounts, your documentation, and enough training that you can run what you have without me.
If an off-the-shelf tool solves your problem, that’s the recommendation you’ll get.

Services
What I do
- 01
Advisory
A working session on your actual situation — what AI can genuinely do for you, what it can’t, and what to do first. You leave with a plan, not a slide deck.
- 02
Prototypes & builds
Working software, built fast and handed over properly. Assistants, internal tools, integrations — scoped up front, priced up front, yours at the end.
- 03
Automation
The repetitive work in your week — quoting, triage, reporting, admin — wired up so it runs itself, with you still in control of the judgement calls.
- 04
Training & handover
Every engagement ends with your accounts, your documentation, and enough training that you can run what you have without me.
Case study — built & run solo
Dramour
Find your love of whisky. Dramour is a whisky collection, discovery and tasting app I designed, built and run end to end — brand, product, database and AI pipeline. Point your camera at a bottle and vision AI turns the label into structured data; photograph a bar’s menu and it ranks every dram against your palate.
At its heart is Dramcierge, an AI concierge with real agency — it can look up bottles, search the web and update your collection mid-conversation, and a voice mode listens and talks back. Recommendations are deliberately not an LLM: a deterministic flavour-profile engine keeps them fast, explainable, and free to run.
