Built by someone who's lived the problem.
I spent 18 years building software — ten of them inside Thales and Hitachi Rail. I've seen how enterprise CMMS rollouts actually play out: clunky interfaces, six-month implementations, and teams quietly giving up and going back to spreadsheets.
AssetOS is what I built after watching that happen one too many times.

01The problem
Most asset-management tools were built for a different era — bloated, slow, and painful to use. They come with six-month implementations, a consultant, and a 200-page configuration guide.
So what happens? Teams give up. They go back to spreadsheets, emails, and paper binders. The software they paid for sits unused; the chaos it was meant to fix carries on regardless. I've watched this play out in transport, banking, local government, and facilities — same pattern every time.
02The approach
AssetOS isn't a venture-backed sprint to “move fast and break things.” It's built deliberately — around the person who plans Monday's work on Friday afternoon, not the enterprise committee that buys the tool. Every feature started with a real team hitting a real wall.
Everything I've learned about what works — and, more usefully, what doesn't — is baked into the product. When I had to choose between shipping a feature that would look good on the marketing site and shipping one that would actually get used, I shipped the second one. Every time.
03The vision
The operating system for your physical assets. Maintenance, compliance, workflows, lifecycle tracking, reporting — all in one place, without the complexity tax. Software that teams actually want to use.
We're just getting started. If you want to shape what comes next — the integrations, the industries we specialise in, the workflows we make first-class — I'd genuinely love to hear from you.
It helps to say the quiet part out loud.
Every tool positions itself by what it is. That's fine, but it's easier to know if we fit if I tell you what we're not. If any of these sound like what you need, we're probably not your best option — and that's okay.
How I build.
Four principles that decide what ships and what doesn't. Every feature gets held against them.
Simple first
If it's not easy to use, it won't get used. Every feature earns its place or it comes out.
Built to last
Modern stack, clean code, no shortcuts. This isn't a prototype hoping for a Series A.
Customer-led
The roadmap is shaped by real problems from real teams — not a product manager's guess.
Transparent
No hidden fees. No gotchas. Pricing on the site is the pricing on the invoice.
Eighteen years of seeing how this is done — mostly wrong.
I've worked across transport, local government, banking, startups, and large-enterprise software. AssetOS is the distillation of every lesson — and scar — from that run.
Founding AssetOS
Designing and building AssetOS from the ground up. Writing the code, talking to every team that trials it, shipping the roadmap publicly.
Senior software engineer
Asset lifecycle, inspection workflows, and compliance tooling across UK rail operators. Watched three CMMS implementations, participated in one.
Software engineer
Mission-critical systems for transport and defence. Learned what "built to last" actually requires — and what it costs when it isn't.
Earlier · startups, banking, local government
Shipped internal tools, workflow systems, and a facility-management product. First real exposure to teams abandoning shiny software for a spreadsheet.
