About

Technology should support your business - not dictate how it works.

I'm a technology consultant and senior software developer with over two decades of experience helping businesses solve operational problems through better systems, processes and technology.

Since 2003, I've worked with organisations ranging from large corporations to SMEs and family-run businesses, designing systems151295proving processes and helping businesses make better use of their data and technology.

My particular strength is understanding what happens behind the scenes of a business: how information moves, how processes fit together, where inefficiencies creep in and where technology can make things simpler, more reliable and easier to manage.

Sometimes the answer is new software. Sometimes it's improving or integrating what's already there. And sometimes what a growing business really needs is someone to step back, look at the bigger picture and provide clear technology direction.

More than software developement

Unsy Digital is built around solving business problems rather than selling a particular technology.

I can help businesses:

Improve inefficient or overly manual processes
Replace spreadsheets and disconnected systems with more robust solutions
Integrate systems so information flows properly across the business
Improve the way business-critical data is captured, managed and reported
Design and build bespoke back-office software
Review existing technology and identify risks, gaps and opportunities
Develop a practical technology strategy that supports future growth

The objective is always the same: technology that makes the business work better.

Fractional IT Director

As businesses grow, their technology requirements often become more complex long before they can justify employing a full-time IT Director.

Different systems appear in different departments. Suppliers multiply. Data becomes fragmented. Security and resilience become increasingly important, and technology decisions start having much wider consequences for the business.

My Fractional IT Director service gives SMEs access to experienced, independent technology leadership without the cost or commitment of a full-time senior appointment.

This can include reviewing existing systems and suppliers, developing an IT strategy, identifying technology risks, overseeing projects and vendors, improving resilience and security, and helping ensure technology decisions support the wider objectives of the business.

For businesses operating over multiple sites, divisions or acquired companies, it can also provide a common technology direction - helping bring systems, information and processes, together as the organisation grows.

Custom business systems

Software development remains a core part of what I do.

I specialise in back-office and operational systems - the software that handles the data, workflows and processes a business relies on every day.

I design systems that:

Accurately capture and manage business-critical information
Automate workflows and reduce repetitive manual work
Integrate with third-party platforms and services
Provide better visibility through data and reporting
Remain reliable and maintainable as the business grows

I take an architecture-first approach, thinking beyond the immediate requirement so that systems are secure, maintainable and capable of evolving with the business.

EXPERIENCE & EXPERTISE

Over the years, I've worked with complex systems combining APIs, databases, business logic and user-facing applications, across both cloud and on-premises environments.

Data has been a recurring theme throughout my career. I have extensive experience designing systems, that collect, process, transport and report on business information reliable - turning data into something businesses can actually use.

My technical experience includes .NET and ASP.NET, REST APIs, Angular and typescript, SQL Server, MongoDB and automated testing alongside system architecture, integration and data driven application development.

But, technology is only useful if it solves the right problem.

How I Work

I start by understanding the business.

That means looking at the processes, people, information and objectives behind a problem before deciding what the technical solution should be.

Where appropriate, I'll build something bespoke. Where an existing platform is the better answer, I'll say so. And where the problem is really one of process, strategy or integration rather than software, I'll focus on that instead.

The aim isn't to introduce technology for its own sake.

It's to make your business simpler to operate, easier to understand and better equipped to grow.

Let’s talk about your business

Whether you need a new business system, want to improve the way your existing technology works, or need experienced IT leadership without employing a full-time IT Directory, I'd be happy to have an initial conversation.

Sometimes the most useful first step is simply working out where the real problem lies.
