I build things. Software, circuit boards, keyboards, hi-fis, businesses, and the occasional wall. If it can be made, I want to make it.
By day I run an MSP and fix computers for a living. The rest of the time I build things for the love of it — one day it's a platform for MSPs, the next a keyboard, a hi-fi, or a job around the house I had no business attempting. Making a living out of concorbit one day? That's the dream.
The big one — an all-in-one platform for MSPs and trades: RMM, helpdesk, jobs, billing, the lot. Years in and still going. One day it might even pay the bills.
The MSP I run with Russell. Managed IT and support — this is what actually pays the bills. Real customers, real systems, the odd 2am ticket. Fixing computers is the day job.
WordPress plugins for the things WordPress should just do — Stripe done properly, backups, MFA, SMTP, Unleashed sync. A few people pay for them, which is nice.
A community for soap lovers to review, rate and natter about their favourites. Niche? Absolutely. I built the whole thing.
There's usually something half-built on the bench. I can't really help it.
Switches lubed, stabs tuned, cases assembled, firmware flashed. A fair few boards for friends, customers and the odd internet stranger.
I've built several of my own systems over the years. It's an unreasonable love of sound more than anything — quietly, just for me.
Boards, mods, repairs, the occasional bit of magic smoke. If it's got pins on it, I'll have a poke.
Built a handful of synths and guitar stomp boxes too. Mostly an excuse to solder something that makes a noise at the end.
Plumbing, sparky bits, carpentry, tiling, whatever the house throws at me. Sometimes it's even level. The point isn't to be perfect — it's that making things, with your hands, is the best way to understand them.
Got a project, a problem, or just want to talk keyboards and turntables? I'm always up for it.
