"I’ll often joke that when people ask what business analysis is, I say: ‘You know all those times people say, “somebody should look into that?” I’m the person that looks into that.’” – Jonathan Haskel --- With roots in education, tech, and business, I turn messy ideas into clean, executable systems. Specialising in AI software development, digital transformation, and end-to-end delivery. Taking founder chaos, startup velocity, and enterprise complexity and converting it into structured momentum. I sit comfortably at the intersection of people, process, and systems. Whether it’s mapping workflows, refining operations, or turning a massive Figma ecosystem into a developer-ready blueprint, I close gaps fast and align teams that don’t usually speak the same language. I’m tool-agnostic, outcome-obsessed, and built for environments where clarity is a luxury and execution is non-negotiable. Atlassian, Confluence, AI workflows, automations, documentation, or full-stack delivery... I treat them as extensions of the job, not buzzwords. My background spans ICT, SaaS, BI, product delivery, customer success, workforce systems, mobile apps, integrations, and data-heavy environments across global, remote-first teams. High-stakes work doesn’t rattle me; it sharpens me. If an organisation wants to scale with intent, meaning cleaner systems, sharper processes, faster delivery, and less bullshit; that’s where I add the most value.

If your business runs on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, there's a good chance you're paying for licences nobody uses, former staff can still log in, and some of your email quietly lands in spam. Most owners don't find out until something breaks. I find and fix those things before they cost you. I've spent 15+ years running IT for companies, from fixing networks hands-on to leading IT operations, and I'm Top Rated here with a 100% job success score. Things clients hire me for: ✔ "We need to move our email." Migrations between Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoho and others, with zero lost mail. ✔ "Our emails go to spam." SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up properly so your mail actually gets delivered. ✔ "Someone left the company. Is our stuff safe?" Locking down accounts and access the right way. ✔ "We're paying for software nobody uses." Licence and subscription cleanup. ✔ "Our website or server has a problem." WordPress and AWS fixes, done calmly. ✔ "We do this by hand every week." Automating repetitive work with AI workflows and CRM tools. ✔ "Nobody actually manages our IT." I can be that person, part-time, for a flat monthly fee. How I work: I explain everything in plain English, put it in writing, and never leave you with a black box. I'm in GMT+2, which overlaps UK and EU mornings as well as US East afternoons, and I'm happy to work async. No meetings unless you want them. Not sure where to start? My fixed-price Security & License Audit (in my project catalog below) checks your whole setup and gives you a written report of what's wrong, what it's costing you, and how to fix it, whether you fix it with me or not.

Top Rated Plus | 100% Job Success | $600K+ earned, 17,000+ hours delivered I work as a fractional technical lead for businesses and agencies that need someone to own the technical decisions on WordPress and integrated systems — not just execute tickets. Most developers can implement a feature. Fewer can tell you whether it's the right feature, how it'll hold up at scale, or what it'll cost you in six months if built wrong. That's the role I play: the senior technical voice in the room. a Migration that can't have downtime, an integration that touches customer data, a platform decision that locks you in for years, getting this right is where I shine Where I typically get involved: Technical ownership & architecture Acting as the senior technical decision-maker for WordPress/WooCommerce platforms, including build-vs-buy calls, platform audits, and roadmap planning Systems & API integration Connecting WordPress to Stripe, HubSpot, Mailchimp, AI/GPT tooling, and custom backends so your tools actually work together eCommerce platform strategy WooCommerce architecture decisions that affect conversion, scale, and long-term maintainability, not just storefront tweaks Security & performance at the infrastructure level Core Web Vitals, hardening, and migrations planned and executed with zero downtime Fractional/ongoing technical partnership for agencies and founders who need senior-level judgment on retainer, without a full-time hire Core stack: PHP, JavaScript, WordPress/WooCommerce architecture, API integration, AI tooling integration, Joomla, Elementor/Divi/ACF where relevant to the build. I take on a limited number of ongoing engagements at a time so I can actually think about your systems rather than triage tickets. If you're looking for occasional deep technical judgment rather than hourly task work, let's talk.
