I build software for people who ship alone.

What I am building

Kiln in build

Development tooling that puts AI in the loop without putting it in charge. Aimed at solo developers and small teams in the UK and US.

AgentDocs in build

Documentation tooling for agent-driven projects. Part of the Kiln stack.

Hermes Vault prototype

A trust layer for agent loops. It inventories what a loop actually installed, grades what each item can reach, gates the ones that can do damage, and keeps secrets out of the transcript. The scanner runs; the rest is being specified in the open.

How I work

Small tools, built to finish. I would rather ship one thing that works than three that nearly do. Everything on this page is something I am actively building, not a portfolio of past work dressed up as a roadmap.
