After 15 years managing complex programmes across defence, nuclear, infrastructure, and professional services, I saw the same problem everywhere: skilled people buried in admin, reporting, and repetitive tasks that never seemed to end.
I've worked across every major business function — from engineering design and manufacturing shop floors, to commercial tendering and finance, to compliance, lean operations, and R&D. That cross-functional breadth means I don't just see one problem. I see waste across the entire business.
So I built a team of AI agents to handle the structured work — the drafting, the data gathering, the compliance checks, the lead research, the reporting. They work overnight. Every morning I spend 15 minutes reviewing their output. That freed me to focus on what actually grows a business: client relationships, strategic decisions, and closing deals.
That's not a prototype. It's not a slide deck. It's how I actually run my business.
Now Harrier Systems deploys the same framework into other Scottish businesses. I design agent teams trained on your processes, your templates, and your standards — working alongside your people, producing real output every day.
Experience Across the Business
Most consultants know one discipline. I've operated across the entire business — that's why the agents I build actually work.
Started on the drawing board. CAD, technical documentation, design reviews, configuration management across defence and nuclear programmes.
Danaher Business System trained. Kaizen events, value stream mapping, waste elimination on production floors. Lean isn't a theory — I've lived it.
Tendering, estimating, contract negotiation, and commercial management across multi-million pound bids and framework agreements.
Full P&L ownership. Budgeting, forecasting, SAP, cost control. Understanding the numbers behind every business decision.
Export control, nuclear safety, HSE, consortium governance. Regulated industries where getting it wrong isn't an option.
Managing programmes across Clean Energy, Industrial Sustainability, AI, and more at a national R&D institute. Turning emerging technology into practical business tools.
Why Harrier?
The harrier is a bird of prey that flies low and methodical — scanning the ground with focus and patience, striking only when the opportunity is right. No wasted energy. No wasted motion. That's how we design agent teams: precise, efficient, and built for the terrain of your business.
How I Work
I don't start with technology. I start with your processes and your people — then design agents that fit how your business actually works. If an agent isn't the right answer, I'll tell you.
I build the solution myself. No subcontractors, no telephone game. You work directly with the person who designed and deployed the system.
Agents generate, humans curate. Nothing touches your business, your clients, or your reputation without a human reviewing it first. Always.
Whether you're ready to deploy or just exploring what's possible, a conversation costs nothing.
