About

I’m a founder and designer based in Belfast. Most of my time goes into Stora, self storage software serving 500+ customers worldwide. I’ve been building it since 2021.

Before that, I spent years launching startups, failing at most of them, and carrying the lessons forward. I’ve always been a tinkerer — jumping into things I don’t understand yet and figuring them out as I go.

Right now I’m obsessed with how AI is changing the way we work. Not in the abstract, but in practice — what it actually looks like when you use these tools seriously, every day, to think and build and write. I voice dictate most of my work now. I use AI agents for things that would have taken me days. The job looks completely different to two years ago and I don’t think most people have caught up.

This site is where I write about all of it. If you’re figuring out similar things, get in touch.
