Senior technology judgement for founders.

Where I add value
The important work often happens before the build.
A founder can lose a great deal of time by solving the wrong problem well. I help make the product, technology and delivery choices clear enough to act on.
My advice is grounded in practical delivery. If the right answer needs more than a plan, I can lead the work, support your team or contribute directly.
Start with your situation
Five common points where founders need a clear view.
These routes begin with the decision or risk, not an internal list of services.
- 01 Apply AI sensibly Find useful applications for AI and test them with care.
- 02 Shape the product Turn a promising idea into a product and technology plan.
- 03 Build the first version Plan and deliver an MVP that can produce useful evidence.
- 04 Fix delivery Understand why progress has slowed and restore control.
- 05 Prepare to scale Make the product, platform and team ready for the next stage.
A strong current capability
Use AI where the evidence supports it.
I help organisations find credible AI opportunities, assess value and feasibility, and test one useful application with proper attention to data, security and human responsibility.
Experienced and directly involved
You are hiring Andy, not an anonymous delivery team.
I have spent more than 25 years building software and technology businesses. I am co-founder and CTO of Notify Technology, and I set up Software Heads to give founders direct access to experienced, practical technology leadership.
I lead the core work and remain accountable for it. Trusted specialists can contribute where a specific skill is needed, without replacing that direct relationship.

A useful first step
Start with the decision in front of you
Tell me about the company, the decision or delivery problem, and what you need to understand next. I review every enquiry personally.
