I did two years of a Law degree at the University of Birmingham. Took a gap year, looked at where AI was heading, and realised I'd rather build the future than argue about the past. Never went back. Best decision I've made.
At 19, I started building Change Radar — what became a 550,000-line enterprise SaaS platform. No funding, no team, no CS degree. Just me, TypeScript, and an unreasonable amount of caffeine. I presented it to the CIO of Allianz. I was the youngest person in the room by two decades.
Now I split my time between building my own products and helping professional services firms become AI-native. I don't give people chatbots and call it consulting — I teach teams to automate their own work, then get out of the way.
Ship fast, learn by building, stay honest about what you don't know.
