About me
Hi, I’m Alan. I make tech the easy part of running your business.
I’m a full-stack developer, systems architect and technical lead based in Winchester, Hampshire. I’ve spent years building software for large organisations — including Google, Handshake and Newsquest — and now I work directly with small and growing businesses.
Most of my clients aren’t technical, and they don’t need to be. My job is to understand what you’re trying to do, recommend the simplest thing that works, build it properly, and explain it all in plain English along the way.
Previously built for
- Handshake
- Newsquest
+ dozens of UK small businesses
What I bring
Four roles, one person.
-
Full-stack developer
I build the whole thing — the bit you see and the bit that makes it work.
-
Systems architect
I plan systems that are simple, secure and ready to grow with you.
-
Technical lead
I can lead projects, teams and suppliers, and keep everyone pointed the same way.
-
SEO specialist
I make sure the right people can actually find you on Google.
Toolkit
Whatever you’re using, I’ve got it covered.
You don’t need to know what any of these are. It just means I can work with what you already have — or pick what fits best, not what’s trendy.

How I work
What you can expect from me.
-
Honest advice
If you don’t need something, I’ll tell you — even if it means less work for me.

Clear pricing
A written quote before anything starts, so there are no nasty surprises.
-
In it for the long run
I want to be the person you call for years, not just for one project.
