Projects · Experiments · Technical investigations

Welcome to my workbench.

This is where I collect the things I build while investigating awkward technical problems, experimenting with new tools and looking for better ways to connect systems, people and information.

  • Investigate Follow the evidence until the system makes sense
  • Build Turn the findings into something practical
  • Explain Make the result useful to people who were not in the room

Featured project

KB DocBot

A working application that analyses merged product pull requests, checks the customer help documentation and prepares a documentation pull request when something needs to change.

Designed and built from scratch

This portfolio website

A lightweight, responsive static site built with plain HTML, a shared CSS design system and a tiny amount of JavaScript.

Why build it this way?

The architecture should match the size of the problem.

A portfolio is mostly structured content. It needs strong visual design, clear navigation and responsive layouts, but it does not need the machinery of a full web application.

Keeping the implementation small makes the site easier to debug, faster to load and much harder to break. It also means I can open any page and immediately see how it works.

The simplicity is also part of the design. The pages share the same colours, typography, spacing, cards and layout patterns, so new content can be added by reusing an established system rather than inventing each page again.

Also on the bench

Projects taking shape.

These are placeholder project areas for now. They can become full case studies as the work develops.

COMING SOON

Support Signal Explorer

A placeholder project exploring how repeated support problems can be grouped, investigated and turned into useful product signals.

  • Issue clustering
  • Customer-impact analysis
  • Evidence-based prioritisation
COMING SOON

Integration Debugger

A placeholder tool for tracing requests across APIs, webhooks and external systems without losing the story of what happened.

  • Request timelines
  • API and webhook inspection
  • Human-readable findings
ONGOING

Writing and Research

A home for technical writing, investigation notes, scientific research and the occasional project that refuses to fit neatly into one category.

  • Technical explanations
  • Research and evidence
  • Long-form writing

What belongs here?

Anything that starts with “I need to understand how this works.”

Some projects begin with a product idea. Mine often begin with a confusing system, a recurring problem or a gap between what the software does and what people think it does.

The workbench is where I can show the investigation as well as the finished result: the questions, trade-offs, failed approaches and design decisions that shaped the solution.

Have an awkward problem?

Those are usually the interesting ones.

I am interested in product support engineering, technical investigation, developer support and software roles where careful thinking and clear communication matter.
