Position · Portfolio · Methodology

AI doesn't make work faster. It relocates where the hard part is.

Operations management theory applied to AI-era work. A framework for constraint migration, deployed proof across four industries, and a methodology for teaching it.

Applications deployed across property, trading, legal, and AI integration. MCP servers. Process improvement & automation.

What I do

I build the tools. I teach the method.

Build

APIs, MCP servers, AI agents, web applications. End-to-end, from problem to deployed product. Python, TypeScript, FastAPI, React. Hosted on Fly.io, live in production.

Consult

Where should AI sit in your workflow? What's worth automating and what isn't? I help organisations find their actual bottleneck before building anything.

Teach

Get your tools connected and working together. Then find the AI working style that fits how you actually think. Hands-on, not just a youtube video.

Who this is for

Solo professionals who want AI working on their actual problems, not demos
Small businesses looking to automate without enterprise budgets
Organisations adopting AI who need someone who's already built and deployed it

The implication

The bottleneck moved. Most people haven't noticed.

AI commoditised execution. The code, the drafts, the data processing: that's the $30/hour work now. The constraint has migrated to orchestration, governance, and judgment. Knowing what to build, how to verify it, when to trust it.

That's not a technology problem. It's an operations problem. Operations management already has the theory for it. Goldratt's Theory of Constraints was built for exactly this. I've applied it to AI-era work in a paper that proposes five new constraints and maps them directly to the TOC diagnostic model.

Every project in this portfolio tested the framework. Each one shaped what came next.

The question is no longer "can AI do this?" It's "where is the bottleneck now?"

The Framework

5 Constraints of AI-Enabled Work

When execution gets cheap, these become the real bottlenecks.

Based on Goldratt's Theory of Constraints · Studied under Prof. Roy Stratton · Nottingham Trent University

The proof

An employment law case required forensic analysis of 1,300+ evidence items: documents, emails, 850+ images. Built a system that processed them into 9 reports with 644 cross-evidence correlations. SHA256-verified chain of custody. Deployed in a live case. Six generations of architecture evolution.

Training

Find your own AI working style.

I don't prescribe a method. Everyone's constraints are different, and the right tools depend on how you think. The course starts with your bottlenecks and builds from there.

“The gap between imagination and execution has closed. I have the receipts.”
“He took someone who had never written a line of code and had them building independently within a month.”

5 modules. Two tracks (no-code or builder). You leave with tools you built on your own work, not theory exercises.
