Software Development Consultancy

I still write software, and I use AI as a daily pairing partner. This service is for organisations that want hands-on help with how software gets built, particularly hybrid web and mobile applications and AI-assisted delivery.

Who this is for

Product teams building hybrid web and mobile apps who want an experienced technical opinion.
Teams adopting AI-assisted development who want working practices, not just tools.
Engineering leaders who need to judge whether AI-generated work is trustworthy.

What I do

Hybrid web and mobile. Architecture and delivery guidance for hybrid applications, with experience in Vue, Nuxt, Capacitor, React Native and Ionic. See Why Hybrid Development Critics Are Fighting Yesterday’s War.
AI-assisted workflows. Breaking work into pieces an AI collaborator can do well, and keeping context under control. See Task Decomposition for AI Collaboration and The Compass Pattern.
Engineering before code. Discovery, documentation and tests before generation. See Engineering Starts Before the First Line of Code.
Testing under AI acceleration. See Why Testing Matters More in the AI Era and The Testing Antipatterns AI Exposes.
Tool choices. A sceptical view of which AI tooling is worth its complexity. See AI-Adjacent Tools: What’s Worth the Complexity.

How it starts

A free introductory call of 15 to 30 minutes. If it fits, a fixed-price audit of one to two weeks, or a monthly retainer for ongoing advice. If the work then needs more people to deliver it, I can bring in engineers from my network of trusted colleagues, and the advice stays with me. See the engagements page.

Questions

Can hybrid apps match native?

It depends on what the app needs to do. The hybrid post linked above sets out my reasoning.

How do I know AI-assisted code is any good?

By the same means as any other code: review, tests and a team that understands what shipped. The practices matter more than the tool.
