About

I am a CTO and Founder, helping high-growth companies leverage AI and data to drive competitive advantage. I work across LegalTech, SaaS, AI platforms, and data-driven businesses, both through my own ventures and through a portfolio of fractional CTO leadership roles.

I founded Legal AI Technology, an AI document analysis platform used by law firms, and Recon Sport Analytics, an AI-powered player intelligence platform.

Through Technotherapy Ltd, I act as Fractional CTO to companies including one of the UK’s largest law firms. I specialise in product & technical strategy, AI/LLM/NLP platform design, SaaS architecture, and scaling engineering teams.

My mission is to bridge commercial vision with robust technical delivery, helping clients and ventures move faster, smarter, and more securely.
