transforming information
into knowledge
Hi. I'm James. I have a natural sympathy for computers and a deeper one for people. I build systems that give businesses their time back — and worlds that give everyone else somewhere to go.
Consultant
AI automation and data work for businesses that want their hours back. Find the facts buried in your data, and build systems that actually work — and keep working after I've gone.
See how it worksCreatives
Worlds, words, and dice. Dungeon-mastering, game development, and copy that sounds like a human actually wrote it. Your world deserves room to breathe.
Step insideHere's what I'm good at.
I'd like to let it work for you, too.
Prompt Engineering
Most people meet AI at its worst — party tricks, shortcuts, amusing noise. Used well, it's something else. I learn how you think, what you need, and teach the model to meet you there.
Game Design
Three decades in. When a player sits down with a system, they're in conversation with its creator — every rule a word, every choice a sentence. Design isn't separate from story. It is the story.
Data Analysis
Data isn't the destination — it's the terrain. Patterns, gaps, and quiet signals most people walk right past. The solution is already written somewhere in the data. Let's find it.
Creative Writing
Dungeon mastering teaches you that the small details make a place real — the worn cobblestone, the god nobody prays to anymore. I build worlds where characters don't just exist, they belong.
Human
I've come from places that don't make the resume. What they left me — stubbornness, empathy, a tolerance for hard problems — made the cut. What I know cost something to learn. You don't have to pay that toll. That's the point.
Ideas are cheap. Execution is king.
Veil & Venture
A high-fantasy board game for people who want their sessions to mean something. The map reveals itself as you move — hex by hex, an untamed world unfolding in real time. Quests emerge, threats escalate, the monsters learn from you.
Beneath the cooperative surface runs the Unveiled Fate system — hidden motivations that keep everyone honest. You're working together. Mostly.
Lazymaxxing
Efficiency isn't doing more — it's doing less, better.
An Idle Game, Re-idled
Determined to put the "idle" back into idle games.
Two Teams, One Report
A statistical breakdown of two basketball teams, presentation-ready.
The Hellions
A scene becoming a short story. They're not fond of the struggles I have in store.
