We build things that work.
BUILD+SHIP exists because we kept seeing the same pattern: teams that know technology matters but don't know where to start, what to build first, or how to make it stick.
20 years building technology teams and products. The last two, going all-in on AI.
Most recently Head of Mobile Engineering at Gymshark, leading the team that built the app used by millions. Before that, two decades across engineering leadership, product, and operations at scale, including roles at Next, McCann, and Zonal.
The pattern was always the same. Teams with ambition and budget, stuck because they didn't have the right technical partner. Not someone to write a strategy document. Someone to sit down, understand the problem, and build the thing.
BUILD+SHIP is the answer to that. I partner with founder teams to build and ship real products. Fast. The 2-week sprint model exists because that's how long it actually takes to go from "we have an idea" to "it's in production" when you cut out the noise.
+How we work
Principles, not process.
Ship over slideWe don't write strategy decks. We build working systems. If it doesn't ship, it didn't happen.
Partner, not vendorWe're not here for a transaction. The sprint is the start of a relationship. We care about what happens after handoff.
Clarity over complexitySimple systems that work beat complex systems that might. We cut scope ruthlessly and build what matters.
AI-native by defaultWe use AI in everything we build and how we build it. Not as a buzzword. As a genuine multiplier on what a small team can ship.
+The name
BUILD+SHIP
The name is the philosophy. Build something real. Ship it to production. Everything else is noise.
The + is the connection. Two things coming together to make something better. That's how we think about every engagement. Your knowledge of your business, combined with our ability to build and ship.
