Hi, I'm Eliot.I build the software your business runs on, when off-the-shelf products can't do the job.

The internal tools, workflows and connected systems your business depends on, built to fit exactly how you work when no product on the market will. One experienced person, from the first diagnosis to a tested, documented system you own.

What clients say

The person you speak to is the person who diagnoses, decides, builds and hands over.

I take the work from the first diagnosis through architecture, build, testing, documentation and handover. You deal with me the whole way, and you own the result outright: the code, the accounts and the credentials, running in your own systems and operable by someone else if you ever need it.

Bring me in when

No product on the market fits how you actually work.

  1. Every product you've tried forces the business into the wrong shape.

    Your process is specific to you, and off-the-shelf software makes you work its way instead of yours. I build software shaped around how you actually work.

  2. A job that matters is still being done by hand.

    It lives in a spreadsheet nobody fully trusts, or in one person's head, because no product does it properly. I build the thing that does, and the manual work goes away.

  3. The workarounds have become the real system.

    Plugins, exports and manual steps are holding a critical process together, and it gets more fragile every month. I replace the pile of workarounds with one system built to last, documented and handed over.

  4. The tools you run on don't behave as one.

    They disagree about what happened, and someone loses a day a week making them line up. I build the software that makes them behave as one, with the failures made visible instead of silent.

  5. You know something needs building, but not what, or in what order.

    Before real money goes in, I work out what should be built and in what sequence, so the expensive part starts from a decision rather than a guess.

I'd rather build one thing that genuinely fits than ten that nearly do. The process every product on the market gets slightly wrong. The tool you were told to just live without. The system three different products failed to replace. If no off-the-shelf answer fits how you actually work, that is the work I want.

Tell me what doesn't fit.

Thirty minutes, free. I'll ask what it is costing you now, what your alternatives are, and what has to be true at the end for this to have been worth doing. Then I'll tell you whether it is the kind of problem I take, and roughly how many hours I would need before I could tell you anything useful. If it is not for me, I'll tell you who to ring instead.
