Chief Problem Solver at KD Digital
that's me!
I've spent over a decade building software that actually works - for enterprises like Asda, Sky, and Virgin, for businesses across the UK, and embedded inside existing teams delivering for their clients. I've seen what works at every scale.
That's why KD Digital exists. Whether you're a business that needs a senior developer without the overhead of a full-time hire, or a team that needs reliable extra capacity on a client project - I slot in and deliver. I'm not here to just pump out code. I get the architecture right first, so what we build is scalable, secure, and performant from day one - not a rewrite waiting to happen.
Whether you want to build an MVP for your next big idea, need custom software to streamline operations, want to explore how AI can transform your workflows, or need a trusted partner to augment your existing team - I'm here to lay the foundations and get it done right.

Core Tech Stack
From people who've actually worked with me
- Toby Moore Parallax"There's always the question of 'would you want them in your team?' and I would 100% want Karl in my team again."

Three ways to plug me in
Technical design, architecture, and delivery end-to-end. I keep you in the loop without the jargon. Senior developer, not faceless agency.
I embed into your delivery team, pick up your processes, and ship under your brand - fully white-labelled. Minimal ramp-up, maximum output.
Ongoing senior capacity - standups, technical direction, mentoring juniors. I become part of your extended team. Months, not days.
