I am a keen builder and experimenter. Augmenting my knowledge of languages such as Python and Javascript with tools like Claude Code, Google Antigravity and Replit, I have developed a number of projects and apps at the intersection of technology, media and culture. I'm also adept at building pipelines with tools like N8n, Make, MCP. See some of the projects that I have built recently:

FRIENDSLIKEUS

FRIENDSLIKEUS

A culture discovery and recommendation app, allowing users to find and share cultural events.

Designed and built the app from wireframe to MVP through to production. Engaged in deep user research, validation and testing.

A custom knowledge gathering and interaction platform for the TV Collective (TVC), a leading UK film & tv industry organisation.

Story Finder

Story Finder

A smart non-fiction story finding platform, designed to serve story specialists (Journalists, Documentary makers, producers etc) with stories from around the world that could potentially be material for new powerful, unexplored media content.

Built and tested the mobile prototype with users, prioritising and tweaking features and functionality based on interviews and feedback.

pan yard

pan yard

The products above were developed under pan yard, a creative technology lab that I lead in London. It serves as my R&D engine at the intersection of AI, media and culture. It’s an incubator where I bridge technical builds with my deep industry knowledge to ship high-impact projects.

TV AI Guide
