RaceMake helps sim racers understand their driving through live car and lap data, AI-assisted analysis and interactive 3D visualisations. The interim technical leadership role covered architecture, team leadership and delivery across the desktop app, web app and the data pipelines connecting them.

Led architecture and delivery across a Rust/Tauri desktop app and React web app.
Rebuilt both clients around extensible high-frequency telemetry pipelines and per-game adapters.
Built an AI pit team and interactive 3D visualisations on top of live telemetry.

Building products and businesses

I work across strategy, design, engineering, marketing, sales and operations. Over more than a decade, that has included work for Groupon, Vouchercloud, AWIN and The Motley Fool, product engineering for Framer, Contra and STRV, and founding and selling three software businesses of my own.

I’m good at taking a complicated business problem, making the work clear and seeing it through. That can mean deciding what to build, designing the experience, writing the software, finding customers or improving how the business runs. I work with colleagues across those disciplines and take responsibility for the work myself.

In my own businesses, product decisions, customer acquisition, sales, revenue and day-to-day operations have all been my responsibility. I bring that same connected view to client work, from shaping the offer to building the product and measuring whether it works for the business.

Living mockups

Editable 3D product mockups with live screens and LED walls

Design & engineering · Built the scenes, surface mappings and inline editor

View Living mockups project

A set of Three.js product scenes — a newspaper, a phone in hand, a reflection room and an industrial laptop — where every screen, page and LED surface is a live, editable texture rather than a flat render.
The headline and the artwork are edited inline; the change lands on the curved wall, the reflections and the phone display at once, because each surface is mapped back to one shared source.
Backgrounds are generated, the reflection and emissive shaders are hand-written, and the whole set runs in the browser at interactive frame rates.
Part of the Studies & Experiments gallery: a collection of standalone scenes that can be dragged, played and inspected.

Digital patterns

Generative poster system for an events programme

Design & engineering · Built the pattern engine, editor and export

View Digital patterns project

A story generator for a week of club nights: six animated pattern families — pixel, angular, wave and more — each seeded, coloured and typeset into a poster that stays legible at any scale.
Every field on every poster is editable in place: date, genre, headline, colour, pattern scale and animation speed, with a one-click regenerate per poster.
Posters export as stills for print and social, so the same system that runs on screen produces the programme's artwork.
