I build systems. Some of them are made of light.

Websites

Designed and built by one person, start to finish — not handed between a designer, a developer and a project manager.

• Sites for businesses, venues, artists and portfolios — hand-built and quick to load, with no page-builder bloat underneath
• Copy, structure and photography worked out with you rather than guessed at, because the content is what the site actually is
• Domain, hosting, email and analytics set up and handed over in your name
• You own the code. No monthly platform tax, no lock-in, no one to call but me — and you could replace me without rebuilding

This site is one of them. View source — it's two files and no dependencies.

Lighting design

For venues, installations, events and performances — concept through commissioning, including the control system that runs it.

• Lighting schemes for venues, retail, events and installations: decide what the room should feel like first, then specify the fixtures that do it
• Layered design — ambient, task, accent, effect — with colour temperature and rendering that hold up across the whole space
• Control and programming: DMX, dimming, scene and cue design, and rigs driven from TouchDesigner when a show needs to react rather than replay
• Laser and projection work, including show design and live operation

The performance side of this runs under the name Cyber Chase — see the showcase →

Tech consulting

Backend and AI engineering for small teams that need a senior pair of hands, briefly.

• Backend systems: APIs, data models, integrations and the performance work that gets put off until it can't be
• LLM features built to be maintained — retrieval, evaluation, and agent workflows that don't fall over when the prompt changes
• Architecture review and honest second opinions before you commit to a direction that's expensive to leave
• Short engagements welcome. No six-month minimum, no retainer, no pretending a two-week problem is a quarter of work
