Hi, I'm Simon.
I have run c-Seven since 1998, and I was online long before that, back when my parents hid the modem wires so I would stop tying up the phone line. No formal qualifications, just decades of real-world experience and a habit of teaching myself whatever the work needs.
In 2020 we narrowed down to what we are genuinely best at: the programming (it either works or it does not) and the consulting. I am less of a consultant and more of a web therapist. The thing I hear most is that I bring the calm to the table. I will challenge your ideas to get you to your goal within your budget, and I will tell you the truth even when it talks me out of work.
These days that means wiring practical AI into the real systems you already run, and leaving you something that works. Same judgement, same honesty, new tools.
Simon
