• Using AI-assisted development (Claude Code) to accelerate automation, tooling and web/app development

• Custom ERP system

• Problem: A client's core processes ran on scattered, siloed Excel files with no central data storage – error-prone, hard to scale and impossible to analyse end-to-end.

• Cash-flow modelling

• Starting point: The existing cash-flow model covered standing investments only; project developments were missing from steering.
