Hi, I'm George

I work as a fractional CTO and principal engineer. I help businesses make the big technical decisions, then build what they've decided on.

That might mean setting technical direction and architecture, leading a development team, or getting hands-on with the code. I've built full-stack platforms end to end, from the database and AWS infrastructure through to the interface people use every day.

Specialisms

  • Full-stack web platforms

    React, TypeScript and Python, from database to interface.

  • AWS cloud and DevOps

    ECS and Fargate, infrastructure as code and CI/CD pipelines.

  • AI integration

    LLMs, RAG and agents built into real products and workflows.

  • Document automation

    Generated PDFs, fillable forms and document-heavy systems.

Teams first

A team that works well together will usually do more for a project than one more good developer.

Projects that struggle are rarely short of talent. More often the priorities are unclear, releases feel risky, or people are pulling in different directions. Adding developers seldom fixes that.

Often the most useful thing I can do is help a team get the basics right, so the good people already there can do their best work.

  1. Clear priorities

    The team agrees what matters this week and why, so time and effort go into work that moves things forward.

  2. Trusted releases

    Code review, automated testing and CI/CD pipelines, so shipping new work becomes routine rather than something to dread.

  3. Room to grow

    Shared standards, honest feedback and support, so the team gets stronger together and no one person is a bottleneck.

  4. Experience counts

    Picking the framework and scaffolding is where experience matters most. Get that structure right and everything built on it is easier.
