Hi, I'm Ian
16 years of engineering and product development experience - from agile startups to global industry leaders.
A history of tailored solutions
16 years of leading complex engineering projects in Automotive, Defence, and Aerospace gave me something most developers don't have - an instinct for what clients actually need, even when they struggle to articulate it themselves.
I work closely and iteratively with every client, combining that instinct with a systems engineer's eye for detail to arrive at the right solution - usually faster, and more accurately, than anyone expects.
Because I've owned the brief, the design, the build, and the delivery myself at every level - working with me means one conversation gets you from idea to finished product.
Case Studies
For HR consultancy Pace HR , I developed an AI-powered custom web application designed to streamline their employee engagement survey analysis. This tool massively reduced the time taken to generate insights, allowing Pace HR to deliver faster, more accurate results to their clients.
At the autonomous mobility startup Verne, I created a bespoke systems 'V' model to fit their unique, fast-paced needs. This established a resilient framework for the entire vehicle's functional architecture.
At Jaguar Land Rover I pioneered new model-based verification processes, and developed it further at Verne by creating bespoke engineering tools for network design and analysis.
