A little background
Hi, I’m James.
I like getting close to a problem: talking to the people doing the work, understanding what gets in their way, then building something that helps. Today, that often means bringing AI and bespoke software together.
As a founder and former corporate CTO, I’ve seen technology from both sides: making the business decision and doing the work to deliver it. Over the years I’ve delivered hundreds of projects, from e-commerce to entire business systems.
I’ve also built a social-media-connected karaoke machine on a double-decker bus for Mastercard. Some problems are more unusual than others.
Along the way, I founded XView, a platform for rapid bespoke software development. That experience remains part of the foundation for my work with AI and Voxd today.

Personal involvement. Delivery through Voxd.
Voxd is where I bring this work together: AI strategy, agents, automation, bespoke software and creative production. I lead the work and stay close to the business problem, the technical decisions and the finished experience.
You can start with a conversation with me, whether you need advice, a workshop or a complete build. Through Voxd, I can take projects into implementation and ongoing support, bringing in trusted specialists when the work needs them.

What could work better?
Tell me about a process that takes too long, an idea you want to test or a decision you’re weighing up. You don’t need a technical brief. We’ll work out a sensible next step together.
