Twenty years of shipping software.
Now directing a team of AI agents.

The short version.

I have been a developer, tech lead, engineering manager, architect and engineering lead across two decades in software. I have delivered platforms in satellite communications, UK media broadcasting, sports media, premier-league football, national rugby, water utilities and UK industrial engineering. I have scaled teams, modernised legacy platforms, introduced Agile and CI/CD where there was none, and shipped across every role a software delivery team has.

In 2025 I stopped taking full-time roles. Not because I stopped enjoying the work, but because AI changed what a single experienced engineer could deliver. With a team of AI agents and the right direction, I can now ship work that used to take a squad of twelve. The economics of consulting changed with it.

Digital Signet is the studio I founded to combine that delivery experience with AI agents that can actually build software. We run a team of AI agents that builds and ships real software for small and mid-sized businesses, directed and quality-checked by senior engineering judgement.

What we do.

Two ways to work with us. A tech partnership where we become your tech function, building and running your website, customer portal, back-office tools and automations for a flat monthly fee. Or one-off project work, scoped and quoted before anything starts, for app and product builds, AI implementation, data work, integrations and reporting.

How it works.

The agents do the volume. The experience directs them and stands behind every result. Work that used to take a developer days now lands in hours. Work that an agency would quote as months, we deliver as a directed-AI-agent build in a fraction of that, on a modern stack.

Every engagement is scoped in writing. You own everything we build, the code, the environment, the data. Month to month on retainers, fixed quotes on projects. No vendor lock-in, ever.

We are honest about what AI can and cannot do.

We use AI in production every day, so we know what it can genuinely do and what it cannot. If a custom build is the wrong call, or AI is not the right tool, we will tell you in the scoping conversation rather than sell you a project that will not work. The pipeline is full enough that we can afford the truth.

Where I have delivered.

What you get when you engage Digital Signet.

• Senior engineering judgement on every result. The agents bring the volume; twenty years of delivery experience directs them and stands behind the work.
• Working software, every engagement. We ship code, not decks. Every engagement ends with something that runs in production, owned by you.
• Clear pricing. Flat monthly fee on the tech partnership, fixed quotes on projects. No hourly meter, no surprises.
• Ownership without lock-in. You own the code, the environment, the data. Nothing about your engagement depends on us being around next year.
• Honest scoping. If your problem is not a fit, we will say so on the call and point you somewhere that is.
