Where I've made a difference

Velosco Energy · CodeBase, Edinburgh · Now

Bringing digital products to offshore wind

I'm building wind farm optimisation and decision-making software for a consultancy that's new to digital products. We're using in-house AI to drive a digital technical assistant unlike anything else in the sector, and a new product offering that takes the business into new markets.

Coursensu · Founder · 2023–2025

Founded, built and sold a learning design platform

Launched from 0 to 1: strategy, discovery, sales, and build. Coursensu helps universities and L&D teams design courses visually, pedagogically, and with AI support - all directly inside their LMS. We won customers with 3,000–10,000 staff, on a bootstrap budget and once established, I sold it to expand into European markets.

PebblePad · Director of Product · 2022–2023

Got a product team shipping every month

I refreshed the product strategy, cut the roadmap down to what mattered, and moved us from irregular releases to monthly ones. Delivery went up by half, and Sales and Customer Success could finally plan around it. I also managed a team of six PMs and designers.

FutureLearn · Director of Learning / Product Leader · 2016–2022

Helped grow a 17M-learner platform to acquisition

I led a machine learning project across 200k+ learners that found segments 55% more likely to convert, and we reshaped the roadmap around them. That work fed the 5-year strategy and narratives for developing the user experience.

Learning Circuits · Creator · 2004–now

Taught 3M+ kids about electricity, for free, for over 20 years

Tutorials, quizzes and a drag-and-drop circuit builder, online since 2004. It's now on its fourth rebuild: from Flash to HTML5, then no-code, and now AI-generated code.
