Work

- RET Advisory Joining a client team as a product owner, business analyst or functional analyst, to carry product decisions through delivery rather than hand them over at the specification.
- RET Studio Designing and building digital products, websites and apps, from first sketch to App Store release. dueday and this site are the two examples, both built by hand.
- RET Learning Building agentic workflows into real projects, automating repetitive tasks, then training the teams who run them, from multinationals to small crews.
