Strategic Technology Leadership
With over 20 years in technology, Jamie has evolved from hands-on software development to strategic technology leadership. He now works exclusively as a Fractional CTO, helping C-suite executives and business leaders navigate complex technology decisions, modernise architectures, and build high-performing engineering teams.
Jamie works with three types of clients: scale-ups navigating rapid growth, established companies undergoing digital transformation, and investors conducting technical due diligence. His approach emphasises knowledge transfer and building internal capability rather than creating consulting dependency.
Credentials & Recognition
A Microsoft MVP for Developer Technologies (4+ consecutive years), Jamie created OwaspHeaders.Core (1.5M+ downloads, featured by the .NET Foundation) and hosts The Modern .NET Show podcast (170+ episodes, 1M+ downloads, 3,800+ social media followers).
In 2023, he received the award for Most Visionary Software Development Managing Director, recognising his innovative approach and strategic vision in technology leadership.
Technical Expertise
Jamie’s technical foundation spans .NET and cloud architecture, application security and API design, AI/ML implementation, and developer experience optimisation. This depth ensures strategic recommendations are grounded in technical reality—avoiding ivory tower advice that fails in practice.
Being a Microsoft MVP provides unique opportunities to stay ahead of industry trends and gain early access to cutting-edge technologies. For clients, this translates into forward-looking, innovative approaches that provide a competitive edge in the market.
Knowledge Transfer Philosophy
Jamie’s goal isn’t to create long-term consulting dependency. Instead, he focuses on transferring knowledge and building internal capabilities so teams can sustain improvements independently. This philosophy ensures that organisations gain lasting value from every engagement.
Jamie is a frequent conference speaker, open source contributor, and volunteer facilitator at Andy’s Man Club, supporting men’s mental health initiatives. His work has been recognised with multiple awards including the Microsoft MVP distinction, Managing Director of the Year 2023, and the West and North Yorkshire Chamber of Commerce Education Award. He is committed to educational outreach and community engagement across Yorkshire.
How Jamie Works with Clients
As a Fractional CTO, Jamie partners with businesses seeking strategic technology guidance without the cost of a full-time executive. His approach involves understanding the broader business context and aligning technology decisions with overarching objectives. The goal is to create strategic assets that drive operational efficiency, foster innovation, and contribute to long-term success.
Whether navigating growth, evaluating technology investments, or building high-performing teams, Jamie provides the strategic guidance needed to accelerate success and reduce risk.
