I speak and teach regularly, from conference stages to the classroom — including workshops at Productized and JAM London, and talks at ProductTank, ProductCamp, and other events. See the full list of talks and events »
Things I’ve built
Alongside product work, I build my own products with AI-assisted development:
- Struktr — org-chart software for the way organisations actually work, not just how they look on paper.
- Partybook — a platform for organising children’s birthday parties together as a class: sharing dates, coordinating joint parties, and simplifying invitations.
Advisory
I offer one-to-one advisory sessions in digital identity & access management and in platform & product strategy.
