ENGINEER — OPERATOR — UNITED KINGDOM
I build AI systems that take over real work.
Fractional CTO of an AI company-intelligence platform used by institutional research teams. Founder of Mander — a studio where one senior engineer directs a fleet of AI agents to ship production software.
01IN PRODUCTION
Technical lead of a platform that reads the news and filings so research teams don't have to — ingestion and enrichment pipelines, hybrid retrieval, and agents that deliver briefings. Running in production with pilot clients.
02THE STUDIO
The software you can't buy: fixed-scope production systems, built by one senior engineer directing an orchestrated fleet of AI agents. Every line reviewed. You own the repo.
MANDER.AI ↗Two years into a law degree, it became obvious where leverage was moving — so I left to build systems instead. The habits stayed: say exactly what you mean, know what you don't know, never ship a claim you can't defend. It turns out that's precisely what working with AI demands.
Anyone can get AI to a demo now. The distance between a demo and a system a business runs on — that's the work.
— WORKING NOTES, 2026
What it takes to build, what it costs — or that you shouldn't build it. If it's the last one, you'll hear it in the first fifteen minutes.
Agents draft; I read, rewrite, and sign every merge. Tests and review gates on everything. Nothing ships on machine confidence alone.
Your repo, your infrastructure, your keys — from the first commit. If I disappeared tomorrow, it keeps running.
Occasional, practical notes on building with agent fleets — what buyers actually ask for, what production discipline looks like when agents write the first draft, and what breaks.
READ ↗The most common question I get isn't "build this for me" — it's "show me how you're doing it." I'm working on a proper answer. If you want it when it exists — or you'd rather learn it live — say so, and you'll be first to know.
SHOW ME HOW →Commercial work runs through the studio. Everything else — ideas, questions, introductions — lands in the inbox.
