He has innovative ideas
Innovation & Developer experience

He thinks beyond his ticket.

And the intellectual honesty to kill his own work when the data disagrees.

SDUI Web Renderer
Converted the native SDUI framework to render on the web — 213 screens previewable in-browser. Engineers can validate schema changes instantly without deploying to a device.
AEO strategy proposal
Researched and presented an AI Engine Optimisation strategy — how Motorway can appear in LLM recommendations when sellers ask "best way to sell my car?" A new acquisition channel, off his own back.
Unified local dev stack
Built start.sh with opt-in flags so any engineer can spin up the full stack in one command.
Self-healing k3d monitor
Cluster health monitor detects and recovers local infra failures automatically.
Smart Docker image cache
Skips Docker builds when nothing relevant has changed. Saves time on every CI run.
"You were right to ask for data before merging — the data says no. Thanks for pushing back."

Ego when his incident
PR was superseded
"He doesn't keep his AI work to himself — he's created repositories to share skills, steering files and more, and actively encourages everyone to have a go."
Oliver Pearmain · Engineer
"He was proactive — trying to fix problems without needing to be asked. He facilitates standups. He shipped most of what was handed over to him."
Mark Ablovatskii · Engineer

"I'd pay him to do work for me independently, which is my high bar for quality of an engineer."
