Hi, I’m Alfie.

Practical help, with a human on your side.

Friendly guidance. Solid technical foundations.Software engineeringApplication securityTrained as an HP instructor

Start with your world

What would you like to make easier?

You don’t need to know all the tools, or arrive with a perfect plan. We’ll start with what matters to you.

Everyday life

Start with something you’d like to make easier.

We can practise asking useful questions, talking through an idea or organising information, at your pace.

A first conversation with AI. A tricky email. An idea to explore.

Let’s start with you

Your business

Bring a task you or your team do regularly.

We’ll work through the context, tools and checks together, then look for an approach you can reuse.

Research. Client briefs. Follow-up. The work behind the work.

Talk through a task

How we can work together

A format that fits you

New to AI or already using it every day, we start with what you know and what you’d like to try.

Individual training

Learn AI by working on something useful to you.

Team workshops

Try AI together on a task your team knows.

Ongoing mentoring

Bring back your questions and keep building on what works.

Practical experience

Things I've built and worked on

Everyday automation and live apps. These are a few of the things I draw on when we work together. Open a project to explore the pictures and the work behind it.

In my own life

A little AI help. Less going out.

Curious about technology. Happiest near the ocean.

A bit about me

A real person to work things out with.

I like hearing what people are trying to do, what they've already tried and where they're getting stuck. You might be learning the basics, finding a better way to work or exploring an idea you care about. That's where we start.

My background spans software engineering, enterprise integration and application security at HP, Micro Focus, Swyftx, Officeworks and Belong. I've also trained as an HP instructor. That experience helps me explain how the tools work, troubleshoot with you and talk through what information is safe to share.

I build and run apps and automations with AI, from a live surf-planning app to document preparation and private dashboards. I bring that practical delivery experience into our sessions, including testing, integrations, security checks and the things I'm still working through.
