Senior operator, not a slide-shop.
I'm Steve. I've spent twenty years in digital strategy and delivery, and since 2019 I've run this practice full-time on AI for UK SMEs. Every engagement is delivered by me — there is no delivery pod and no account manager.
I'd rather ship a small, boring automation that saves your team ten hours a week than consult on a three-year transformation you'll never finish. The best consulting work I do is usually the least dramatic — a tight audit, a working build, a clean handover.
I still write the code. Not for every project, but often enough to keep my recommendations honest. Advice from someone who hasn't built anything in five years tends to age badly.

A larger firm would sell you more of my time than I have. A one-person practice with a hard cap on engagements is honest about capacity — and it means the person doing your first strategy call is the person building your first automation.
When something falls outside my scope — deep ML engineering, brand strategy, funding advice — I'll say so on the call and, where possible, point you at someone better.
