Humaniti

Humaniti helps consumers by providing a budgeting tool & cash for surveys.  It helps our customers by providing data insights.

I was Humaniti's first technical hire where I built the dev. team from scratch.  We released MVP (desktop) in 5 months, and then added mobile (iOS & Android) 6 weeks later.

Next phase was to take ownership of our internal processes and procedures.  I implement traditional Software Development practices (SCRUM etc.) and fill the product pipeline.

From there my focus was on scale & growth - increase velocity (more features more often) while reducing bug count,

Tech stack is AWS, Python, Angular & ionic with Postgres & Snowflake.

HR functions included recruitment and defining personal & team KPI's.

10 head count including Dev, Support & QA.

Data Team Leader (Publishing)

I help teams ship software that actually works - scalable, maintainable, and built to last. 

With 25+ years in tech, I’ve seen every software disaster imaginable - from legacy code, nobody dares to touch to cloud migrations that “should be easy”. My job? Keep teams focused, stakeholders informed, and software delivered- while still being hands one and without unnecessary drama.

My expertise is modernising legacy systems, integrating cloud solutions, and leading teams through complex software transitions. I’ve worked in startups, government, and large enterprises, where I focus on removing bottlenecks, streamlining development, and helping all do their best work.

Great software is as much about people as it is about technology. A good plan, clear priorities, and a team that understands the goal make all the difference. Whether it’s technical strategy, stakeholder alignment, or making tough decisions that keep projects moving, I thrive in bringing structure and clarity to software delivery.

The Fat Loss Coach

Has Your Metabolism Declined? → Want to get back on a metabolic incline to drop 2-3 Jean Sizes in 90 days or less? ... First 👉 'Visit My Website' to get my: '4 Healthy Habits That Stall Your Metabolism' [Free Guide]

Most men don’t plan on getting out of shape...

But between the stress of work, building a business, marriage, fatherhood, and decay in free time...

Health often falls off the wagon.

I know, because I lived it.

I was working 60+ hours in a fledgling business, 

Eating and drinking more just to take the edge off.

Telling myself I’d get back on track "soon."
The gut crept up up on me.
My energy dropped. 

And everyone around told the same story:

... “My metabolism just slowed down.”
... “I used to be fit and train a lot… but then life got busy.”

And when they finally tried to get lean again?

They went all-in.
Strict diets. Hardcore workouts. Fad plans.
Only to burn out, fall off, and regain the weight.

I was on the same path... until I made a change.

The gym became my outlet. 
A way to reset my mind.
(And it worked).

I fell in love with how it made me feel.

Eventually, I stepped on stage as a natural bodybuilder.
(Reaching 6% body fat.

But then it hit me...

 → That wasn’t sustainable either.

But when I learned how the body really works... 

✔ How muscle protects your metabolism.
✔ How fat loss happens through data and feedback, not guesswork.
✔ How to stay lean without sacrificing your career, your family, or your life.

That shift changed my body and my life.

And now it’s the foundation of how I help other men do the same.

Today, I coach high-performing men reverse metabolic decline by:

→ Shedding stubborn fat
→ Building strength and visible muscle
→ Regaining energy, confidence and control
→ Staying lean for life, even when life gets hectic

… Even with a busy schedule, travel, client lunches, and family dinners.

No starvation.
No 6-day gym schedule.
No all-or-nothing diets or fads.

Just a proven system that fits into your life.
(Not one that takes it over)

All through my 1-1 Metabolic Recomp Method coaching.

So if you’re ready to ditch the dad-bod, rebuild your identity,
and finally have a body that reflects your success...

Message me: "Ready"

I'll personally send you the details about my 1-1 Metabolic Recomp Method.
(No AI / bots).

Ps.

my 1-1 coaching is capped to 25 spots, so you get all the support you need every week.
