Solo Engineering StudioArchitecture · AI · Delivery

Shipping purposeful software and partnering with teams on complex systems.

AsyncThoughts is the studio where I design and engineer the tools I need, then share them with organisations who care about quality, privacy, and momentum. I stay hands-on with product strategy, AI-powered experiences, and delivery governance so partners get the depth of a technology leader without the overhead of a full-time hire.

Current Focus

Systems-level problem solving

2024/25 Threads

SecureVault

Security craft in production

Hardening local-first architecture for households and solo builders.

Advisory Track

Delivery tune-ups

Helping product and platform teams unblock execution with pragmatic guardrails.

New experiments and advisory partnerships every 6 months.Hands-on leadership, zero bureaucracy.

Leadership-level capabilities for teams that need momentum.

Every engagement starts with understanding the system end-to-end. I combine architectural thinking, product discovery, and delivery governance to help organisations navigate change without losing speed or trust.

Outcome-led roadmaps

Build the right thing with clearly modelled bets, measurable impact, and iterative release plans that respect both ambition and reality.

AI-augmented experiences

Pair pragmatic machine learning with human-centred design to automate drudgery, amplify insight, and deliver trustworthy interfaces.

Delivery stewardship

Mature the delivery engine with sustainable velocity, observability, and guardrails that keep releases predictable without slowing down learning.

High-trust collaboration

Operate with clarity, transparent communication, and crisp rituals so distributed teams feel supported and accountable in equal measure.

Proof from products in the wild

Each launch began as a tool for my own practice before evolving into platforms that households, quality teams, and investors rely on. They showcase the depth I bring to security, reliability, AI, and delivery when partnering with organisations.

Operating like an embedded technology leader

Every engagement relies on a repeatable cadence: clarify the mission, map the socio-technical system, uplift engineering rituals, and coach teams through steady, high-signal delivery. I share the patterns, tools, and templates in quarterly build letters.
