I build, organise and untangle digital things.
I'm Kurtis, a London-based digital project manager with a technical background. A lot of what I do comes down to taking something that's a bit unclear, figuring out what actually needs to happen, and getting it into a shape that can be built and shipped without everything becoming chaos along the way.
What this is
I tend to have quite a few things on the go at once. There’ll usually be a website that needs something doing to it, a project that needs untangling, a game mechanic I’ve decided needs improving, and at least one idea that was supposed to be small before somehow becoming its own repository.
This site is where most of that ends up. The Work section is the more sensible professional bit, while everything around it covers the things I build, things I’m learning and whatever else has managed to keep a tab open for long enough.
Start here
If you're here for the professional stuff, Work is probably the best place to start. About is a bit less CV-shaped.
Work
Digital project management, web delivery, platforms and the practical detail behind getting something from "we should probably do this" to actually being live.
Explore my workAbout
A bit more about how I think, what I build, what I do when I'm not building it, and why I always seem to have too many tabs open.
About meSelected proof points
A couple of examples from professional work where the interesting part wasn't just getting something live, but making the thing underneath easier for people to actually work with afterwards.
Clearer self-service, less manual admin
Helped replace an unreliable portal with a role-based self-service platform, reducing repetitive handling and making complex journeys easier to manage.

Proposed and shaped a SharePoint intranet rebuild that replaced a stale internal archive with a practical weekly-planning hub, knowledge board, and more active company space.

A few of the things currently taking up an unreasonable number of those open tabs.
KJ's Counter
I built KJ's Counter because I wanted useful analytics for my own sites but really didn't want to go back down the GA/GTM rabbit hole. It collects simple anonymous events, turns them into useful stats, and gives me a live dashboard without trying to work out who anyone is.

Five browser games, shared systems behind them, real analytics and a very good excuse to keep learning about product decisions by actually putting things live and seeing what works.

I've ended up building AI into quite a lot of how I work, from thinking through an idea with ChatGPT to handing larger bits of implementation to Codex, reviewing what comes back and working out what needs doing next.

The site you're currently on. Part portfolio, part place to keep projects, part notebook, and an ongoing attempt to keep far too many ideas somewhere vaguely organised.
