How I work

What I bring to a product team.

People pointed the same way

Editors, commercial teams, engineers and execs rarely want the same thing on the same day. Most of my job has been getting them to agree on what matters next, and keeping them there.

Product that ships

Replatforms, subscription launches, live sport on every screen. I care about getting things finished and out, then seeing what they actually did.

Teams that scale

At The Sun I grew the product function threefold. More people only helps if the way of working grows with it.

Hands on with AI

I build working tools myself, from Jira ticket drafting to two games on the app stores. It keeps me honest about what AI is good for and what it is not.

Built in my own time

Things I have built myself, shipped and live.

Staying hands on keeps me close to how products actually get made. Same habit as the day job: work out what the thing actually is, then build it until it is finished and out.
