Today I've launched the next evolution of my non-fiction written work. For just over a year I've been writing long-form daily articles about Technology, Governance and the Human cost of the things we build at smarterarticles.co.uk (https://smarterarticles.co.uk) Six weeks ago I launched a podcast, taking one of my published articles, and reworking it for the podcast format, with a new episode weekly. Today I launched the accompanying website: smarterarticles.fm (https://smarterarticles.fm) My spec was simple:- 1. Keep it simple, and minimalistic. My articles are published on a simple site, headlines, and content, and nothing more. I wanted to keep that simplicity. 2. Clean, professional, broadsheet-style publication. 3. No admin system. The site and its content take care of itself. I publish articles on a site that has an RSS feed, and I publish a podcast that has an RSS feed, so this site consumes both and the source of truth is where the content is originally published. 4. Plain English. Clear, precise, human. Read the About page or the Privacy Policy. I'm not trying to hide behind technobabble, only clarity. 5. No Cookies. No Tracking. No Analytics. No Recommendation Engine. No Profiling. No Selling or Sharing of Personal Data, clearly stated as a deliberate decision not an oversight seeking correction. Here are some example pages, I'd encourage you, if you so wish, to visit the site and let me know your thoughts: smarterarticles.fm (https://smarterarticles.fm)

🚀 Had an idea over the weekend. Spent the next 4 days building it. Meet CraftTun. I’ve wanted a clean, reliable way to run Craft CMS locally, without fighting Docker, juggling databases. CraftTun, a cross-platform app that handles the entire Craft CMS local dev stack for you. It’s not released yet, but the core is solid: containers spin up cleanly, Craft installs instantly, one-click admin login works. It takes inspiration from Local and the retired Craft Nitro, but is built specifically for modern Craft workflows. What works today: • Create new Craft sites • Auto container setup • phpMyAdmin access • Craft CMS v3–v5 support • One-click admin login Built in 4 days through focused iteration and prompt-driven development, showing how quickly high-quality tooling can be delivered with the right workflow. https://www.crafttun.com/

🚀 Built a full app in 1 weekend: ForageMap.com (http://ForageMap.com) I gave myself a weekend deadline and shipped ForageMap.com (http://ForageMap.com) — a simple, clean platform that lets people pin, share, and discover wild edible plants in their area. It’s for people who want foraging without the nonsense: fast map, quick submissions, seasonal insights, and a community leaderboard. What it does right now: - Add a spot in seconds - Browse community finds - 4 different map styles - Leaderboards - Seasonal filters What’s coming: - Ingredient pages with photos + full details - Trusted “verified spot” markers - Offline mode - Fully mobile-friendly If you’re into sustainability, local food, or just want something that tastes better than supermarket veg, take a look: 👉 https://foragemap.com Open to feedback, ideas, or collabs.

Cloud EHR Modernisation Programme Business Case & Financial Model Verified • 🔗 IT Project Manager NHS • 23/08/2026 Overview Innovate Health IT, a 500-bed acute NHS Trust, faced significant challenges with its aging on-premises EHR system, including rising costs, frequent outages, limited scalability, and poor interoperability, which hindered operational resilience and clinical safety. The candidate was tasked with evaluating a strategic transition to a modern cloud-based EHR platform to address these critical issues and align with national digital transformation mandates. What I did Developed a detailed 5-year financial model, including cash flow projections, Net Present Value (NPV), and Return on Investment (ROI), explicitly adhering to HM Treasury Green Book guidance for public sector projects. Conducted a comprehensive options appraisal comparing current on-premises, cloud-based, and hybrid EHR solutions, detailing their respective pros and cons. Performed a sensitivity analysis on key financial variables (subscription cost, migration cost, productivity gains) to assess financial viability under different scenarios. Identified and mitigated key risks associated with cloud EHR transition through a structured RAID log, proposing specific mitigation strategies. Designed a benefits realization plan, outlining KPIs, ownership, governance, and reporting cadences for tracking both cashable and non-cashable benefits. Authored a strategic business case highlighting national NHS mandates (EPR 2025, Shared Care Record, DSPT, Cyber Strategy) and their influence on the recommendation. Outcomes & deliverables Produced a comprehensive business case document recommending a cloud-based EHR transition for Innovate Health IT. Developed a detailed 5-year financial model demonstrating a negative NPV of –£2.90M and an ROI of –64%, typical for strategic NHS EPR programs. Identified 5 key risks and their mitigation strategies within a structured RAID log. Outlined a benefits realization plan with clear KPIs for tracking both cashable and non-cashable benefits like improved clinical safety and cybersecurity. Provided a clear, data-backed recommendation for the cloud EHR, emphasizing strategic alignment over purely financial returns. Impact I developed a detailed business case for a major NHS Trust, justifying a strategic shift to a cloud-based Electronic Health Record (EHR) system through rigorous financial analysis and strategic alignment, securing buy-in for a critical digital transformation. Tools & methods Excel/Google Sheets (financial modeling), NHS Green Book (discount rate guidance), Risk Assessment Frameworks, Benefits Realization Frameworks Reflection I learned that while traditional financial metrics (NPV, ROI) may appear negative for NHS EPR modernization due to the nature of non-cashable benefits, the strategic imperative for improved resilience, cybersecurity, and interoperability often outweighs these financial limitations, necessitating a nuanced approach to business case development.
