What's happening now

Updated 1^st February 2026, from my home in the UK.

Work and projects

Currently contracting at TinyPilot.

I’ve been looking for interesting problems to solve with a B2B product. After doing some software experiments and some customer interviews, I found something interesting but super competitive and unfocused. I dug deeper and discovered a potential (adjacent) problem in a niche. I’ve been reaching out to people in the niche to try and learn more. If the problem really exists, I can sell an MVP almost immediately.

liftingstones.org is taking more of a back seat for a while. I’m not sure exactly how long, but I’m not setting aside any project time for it – I’ll only be spending my own personal time.

Personal

I don’t know where 2025 went, but 2026 is going to be at least as packed, perhaps more so.

I’m scheduled to lift the Dinnie Stones in June but I’ve got a back injury that’s bothering me. Better now than later I suppose?
