Build
Products from zero. Software, apps and automations that do a real job for real people. Ship it, then sharpen it.

I do many things. Right now I'm building software
01 About
Entrepreneur at heart, software engineer by day, and happiest where tech meets security.
I'm Mikey. By day I'm a software engineer at FCSA, and I work in security too. That's where TacDesk came from: one system for UK security firms covering rotas, guard tours, SIA checks and live dispatch, built by someone who's done the shifts.
Before all that I founded Nightlife Cambridge, running club nights and writing about the scene. It's mostly retired now, but the blog lives on here. I'm also an Associate of the Chartered Institute of Marketing, which helps when you keep starting things.

03 Craft
Three things, done properly.
Secure
On the ground in UK security, and building the tools the industry runs on. Real shifts make for better software.
Start
Two companies, a run of club nights and more side projects than is sensible. If there's a gap, I'll probably try to build a business in it.
