I build bespoke web applications, integrations and working prototypes for organisations that need real software fast — backed by twenty years of shipping mission-critical systems for NHS, banks, insurers and councils.
Vibe coding usually means asking an A.I. to write you software, accepting whatever it produces, and shipping it without really understanding what you've shipped. When it works, it feels like magic. When it doesn't — and at scale, in production, or under load, it often doesn't — the failure modes are brutal.
I do something different. A.I. is a tool I use the way a senior developer uses a fast junior team: to accelerate the typing, the boilerplate, the first-draft tests. Every architectural decision, every security boundary, every line of code that reaches production has been read and understood by a human who knows how to debug it later.
Internal tools, admin portals, customer-facing apps. The kind of build that used to need a four-person team and three months. I can usually scope one in days and ship a usable first version in two to four weeks.
Application developmentThe unsexy plumbing that connects your systems: API integrations, scheduled jobs, ETL pipelines, glue code between SaaS products. Frequently the highest-ROI work in any organisation.
Integration workWorking software in days, not months. For when you need to show stakeholders something real, validate an idea before you commit serious budget, or de-risk a build-vs-buy decision with actual code in front of you.
PrototypingApplication development is the focus of the practice today — but the document-capture work that built it is still here.
Since 2003 I've designed and shipped over a hundred Tungsten Automation (Kofax) capture and automation solutions for NHS Trusts, multi-national insurers, retail banks and local councils. If you've landed here because you need experienced hands on a Tungsten TotalAgility, Capture, Transformation or RPA project — or independent advice on digital mailrooms, accounts payable, archive scanning or Smart Process Applications — that work continues.
Working independently and previously for one of the UK's leading Tungsten Automation (Kofax) Platinum partners, I have personally designed and implemented over 100 production capture and automation solutions for NHS Trusts, multi-national insurers, retail banks and local councils.
That same delivery discipline now powers the application-development practice. Same architectural rigour, same code-review habit, same "will this still work in three years?" instinct — multiplied by A.I. throughput. The difference between software that ships in weeks and software that drags into months is almost always experience. A.I. doesn't replace it. A.I. just lets it cover more ground.
Founder & Principal Consultant · M.Sc., B.Sc. · Kofax Certified Capture Consultant (KC3)
I started programming in 1981 and have worked professionally as a developer since 2003 — twenty-plus years inside the Tungsten Automation (Kofax) ecosystem, with more than a hundred production solutions shipped across NHS, banking, insurance and local government.
Today I apply that same delivery discipline to A.I.-assisted application development — building bespoke web apps, integrations and prototypes for organisations that need real software fast.
Kick Technic is a one-person consultancy by design. You get me on every call, every line of code, and every architecture decision — not a junior consultant warming up on your project.
An email costs nothing and never turns into a sales pitch. Send me a few lines about what you're working on — I read every message personally and reply with an honest assessment, even if that means pointing you somewhere else.
