Software that works,
for work that matters.
Independent development and consulting for research institutions, conservation organisations and public agencies — from early advice to working solution.
I work with scientists, data managers and programme officers who know what problem they’re facing but aren’t always sure what kind of solution they need. Sometimes that means writing code. Sometimes it means figuring out together what’s actually worth building — and what isn’t.
I build tools that fit how researchers and conservationists actually work: open by default, standards-compliant, and designed to be maintained long after the project ends. The measure of success is always the same — something that gets used.
And the handover is part of the job: documentation written for real users, training tailored to your team, and an ongoing relationship that turns a delivered project into something that keeps working.
