Building Digital Products
Businesses in motion.
A native iOS app that connects language learners through swipe-based matching—like dating apps, but for finding conversation partners. Real-time chat with an innovative message interface: swipe right on any message to reveal its translation, swipe left for grammar suggestions and alternative expressions. AI-powered contextual learning that adapts to your proficiency level, with vocabulary tracking and text-to-speech pronunciation guidance.
A desktop application for Mac and Windows that moves files, clipboard content, and screenshots instantly between machines—no cables, no cloud uploads, no NAS drives. Built for people who work across multiple computers: cross-platform developers compiling on one OS and testing on another, music producers running multi-machine studios, video editors bouncing projects between Mac and PC, designers toggling between AutoCAD on Windows and creative tools on Mac, and corporate professionals bridging locked-down work machines with personal ones.
A web application for coaches to plan training sessions. Intuitive drag-and-drop interface for building professional practice plans from a searchable activity library with hundreds of drills. Supports 50+ sports and activities across team sports, individual sports, fitness training, and outdoor recreation. Each activity template includes detailed setup instructions, objectives, player requirements, equipment lists, and skill-level modifications. Create custom drills, share plans with your coaching staff, and generate printable session plans. Team management features let you organize multiple teams and control plan access.
A SaaS platform that streamlines property maintenance workflows by connecting property management companies, tenants, contractors, and property owners. Features AI-powered assessment that dynamically generates questions and determines coverage areas. Multi-tenant architecture with secure data isolation, real-time WebSocket updates, granular role-based permissions, and a mobile-optimized progressive web app. Advanced reporting provides performance insights and analytics across your property portfolio.
I've spent most of my career at the intersection of technology and commercial strategy — figuring out how to take complex ideas, turn them into products, and get them into the hands of people who need them.
For the past 27 years I've been a partner at EY, most recently leading the commercialisation of their global technology portfolio — platforms, AI, and digital products used across the firm. Before that, I founded and sold a security software company, and earlier still helped build firewall technologies through a startup that was acquired. The thread through all of it: build something useful, find the right path to market, and scale it.
I studied AI at the University of Texas back in 1991 — long before the current wave — so the technology side of this work isn't abstract to me. I've been hands-on with it for a long time.
