Google Labs
From initial tooling with Google's 'Breadboard' AI, our expertise led to a year-long role as core contributors with Google Labs in San Francisco, co-developing pivotal features for the generative AI framework alongside their engineers.
VibePay Acquired
Stepping into leadership when VibePay faced pivots and challenges, we built their foundational 'Channels' service, scaling payments for 100k+ users. Our guidance and engineering prowess helped navigate them to a multi-million pound acquisition by Banked, where we continue to lead systems integration.
AdPeak Co-Founded
Identifying a gap in data-driven PPC, we co-founded AdPeak to build an AI-powered SaaS platform. Our proprietary solution autonomously optimizes Google Ads for large e-commerce catalogues, maximizing spend efficiency beyond just hero products.
Common Tools
Partnering with Common Tools, we provided critical infrastructure expertise to build out their secure, automated GitOps processes and confidential compute capabilities on GCP, accelerating their development with our embedded engineering talent.
