Hi, I’m Dennis 👋 I build software and occasionally write about it

I love tinkering with fresh ideas and applying new tech in meaningful ways. I spend most of my time helping founders and teams build, innovate and scale products. Especially when clarity is lacking and results matter.

I avoid buzzword-driven busywork and believe that the best results come from being curious, listening, simplifying, and building just enough to learn what works and iteration.

Background

My own startup journey began 15 years ago as a founding engineer at an early-stage hospitality tech company that grew to process hundreds of millions in monthly transaction value.

I've spent the last 5 years supporting startup founders and teams with mentorship, product/tech strategy and implementation. My recent focus has been on AI-enabled apps, platforms and automations.

Outside of tech

I’m into musicals and I like running. I’m an intermediate blues, Argentine tango and ballroom dancer and a semi-regular visitor to my local gym. I’m also a co-organiser of Makers Gonna Make.
