First, find out whether it's worth building.

I am Andrea S. Head. People who run businesses bring me ideas: a better way to look after guests, or a product hiding in years of records. My job is to tell them, honestly, whether the idea deserves a budget. Then I build the ones that do. I work from Cape Town, for clients anywhere.

You run a resort, or hotels.

Your guests ask the same questions at midnight that they ask at midday. Your best people spend hours on work that should not need a person. I build systems that give those hours back, and that catch what your guests have been telling you all along.

Written for you

You own a clinical practice.

Your records hold years of patient histories, and you suspect there is something valuable in them: a tool your practice needs, maybe one that other practices would pay for. I help you find out. If it is real, I build it for your practice first.

How it begins

Every engagement starts with the feasibility assessment.

A fixed piece of work, three to four weeks, from €9,500. At the end you hold a written verdict: build it, change it, or leave it. If the idea is not worth building, you will know before it costs you a builder's budget.

And if the verdict is build, you are not handed a report and a list of vendors. I design and build the system myself, and stay until it works.

The price is stated because you deserve to know it before we speak.

In their words

What people I've worked with say

"Andrea operates with the strategic mindset of a Lead Architect. He possesses the rare ability to bridge the gap between 'Scientific Rigour' and 'Operational Speed'."

Chief Product & Prediction Officer — JUMO

"Andrea is a standout technical leader within our practice. His work consistently sets the standard for technical excellence, and he operates as a force multiplier; his presence raises the technical bar for the entire team."

Business Unit Lead & Delivery Lead — Equal Experts

"Andrea did not simply teach me technical skills; he taught me how to think like an architect. Because of his mentorship, I was promoted to AI Adoption Lead — a transition that typically takes two to four years, achieved in just 12 months."

The work behind this

A decade of building things that had to work.

This practice grew out of the engineering, and the engineering has not stopped. I spent ten years building systems for banks, lenders and retailers. One piece of that work returned more than forty million pounds in its first year. I still write the software myself; what changed is that I now sit with the owner, from the first question to the working system. The detail is all here, written for the technically curious. You are welcome to read it, and you will never need it to work with me.

  • About Who I am and how I work.
  • Projects Case studies from past work, in full technical detail.
  • Writing Essays on building software, and on the ethics of it.
  • Lab Small working tools I built for myself. You can try them.
