From Buyer to Analyst, I.T Specialist to Property Professional.
My experience proves it.
Phillip is an independent systems thinker who understands how real-world things work — physical, digital, and human — and I help people make them work better, more simply, and more reliably. Analysis, Diagnosis, Solutions. I change things if there is a good reason too. I make things better.
The Builder
I got into construction because others were unreliable. I took my Project Management skills and used them to manage building and home improvement projects.
I found I loved creating beautiful spaces. So I learned the skills and set to work.
The IT Engineer
25 Years working in Factory Systems and IT.
But that was then. Now my work is less ambitious. I prefer doing things I enjoy.
Now you will find me dabbling in this and that. But what I love doing is being creative.

Web Development because I like to work with the nuts and bolts. I learned SQL because someone asked me to work with QBE after APL.
I like creating website like this one, it’s that creative thing again.
Practical systems thinking for real-world businesses.
I help people make sense of processes, technology, and environments — drawing on experience across engineering, manufacturing, property, and IT.
Are you not impressed. Well, so you should be, many underestimate me. Now I’m more about doing what I enjoy. What I enjoy doing is making this better, easier and desirable. I also love statistics. If you quote something to me, you had better have the facts. I’m kidding. But, that’s why I love AI.
I’m changing it. Again! That’s why I like running my own website.
How AI can increase your productivity.

In production.
AI is a powerful tool — affordable, flexible, and surprisingly capable.
It can act as a web designer, researcher, writer, advisor, or teacher.
It can help you choose domains and hosting, explain complex topics, or even write in the style of Shakespeare.
But tools are only useful when used well.
I use AI as a partner — guided by real-world experience, judgement, and clarity.
Many of the following images are AI generated based on descriptions of real events. Others are real photos taken by me. There are more to be found in the gallery.
I started building websites back in 2004.
My first website was ChapelParkHomes.co.uk using a Google application, that site made me £50. My next was a Yola.com website which used a drag and drop application. Yola is still active today. The site I created still exists 6mr-sonoma.yolasite.com. There have been many more since then. By the way, the Yola sites are FREE! In 2003 I started learning to code.
My first WordPress Theme.
In 2008 I wanted a website that served up YouTube playlists the way I wanted them. I also wanted more. It was to be a Music website about 1980s musicians.
So I created Cue80sMusic which includes 1960s, 70s, and more music videos with some history about the performers. I should really do much more with it. But it still serves me today. In 2011 I made it fit for Mobile and Tablet in that it became a responsive website. In 2019 I decided to turn to WordPress and created my first WordPress Them based around Cue80sMusic called BriteMusic. It doesn’t make any money, it’s purely for my entertainment. It still fits my needs today. It is also an example of what I can do, and believe me, it was a complicated site to create.
What’s behind a website
I learned HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, Bootstrap, and to work WordPress (Web servers and Linux). I learned SQL, the language of databases back in 1988. “SQL skills are the bread and butter for making data-driven decisions and managing the massive amounts of data generated in today’s workplaces. SQL proficiency will continue to be key for both launching a career in data and advancing in many industries.” SQL was my key skill back in 2004, I trained others until others trained others.
The core building blocks of the web are HTML (structure), CSS (style), and JavaScript (interactivity), working together to create webpages: HTML provides content structure, CSS designs the appearance, and JavaScript adds dynamic behavior, with Hypertext (links) fundamental to navigation. Beyond the code, technical components like domain names, hosting, and DNS are also essential for a public website. Everything you need to learn is on the web. So it’s not a subject I will cover.
