I build software companies from the first line of code.

I’ve been writing software for twenty years. I wrote the first code at HotDoc, joined DigitalOcean when it was twenty people, and co‑founded Flood IO, which Tricentis bought two years after launch. Now I’m co‑founder and CTO of Alcova, where we build AI for financial advisers and client advice firms.

I start simple and add only what the work proves it needs. Every failed product I’ve seen did the opposite.

  • Building Alcova, so advisers spend less time on data entry
  • Training for a half marathon on 15 November with The Mill in Queenstown
  • Spending one day a week offline in the backcountry
