I make things run.

I run the operational backbone of BiteWorld, with fellowship cohorts across the UK, US and KSA and a small team that works like a big one. Through VZN by Hussain, I build the same systems for other teams.

Work with me The story so far
Skip the journey ↓

  1. First website.

    Built my first site at eight, experimenting in Microsoft FrontPage, then Dreamweaver MX. That's where the line starts, and I never really got off.

  2. Biomedical science.

    Started biomedical science at Keele in 2008. The career path after it wasn't clear, and I knew I didn't want to work in a lab. So I switched lines.

  3. Computer science.

    Computer science at Salford from 2010, paid for by my first business: a freelance media agency. Then a second line opened: pharma marketing and strategy.

  4. Pharma and a master's.

    Digital operations at CSL Vifor (agency costs down 60%, engagement up 40%), digital programmes at Moderna, and agency work with AstraZeneca, Pfizer and Boehringer Ingelheim. And from 2014, a master's in health data science at Manchester alongside it.

  5. BiteLabs fellowship.

    Innovation in health should come from the clinicians on the front line. I did the fellowship in 2024 to work among them, then joined the team.

  6. BiteWorld.

    Programme & Operations Director at BiteWorld: BiteLabs, BitePACES, BitePharma and DeepLabel. Cohorts across the UK, US and KSA, a small team, and a lot of automation. 500+ applications reviewed.

  7. You are here.

    Running BiteWorld's operations, and building the same kind of systems for other teams through VZN by Hussain. Four lines leave this station.

AI + automationfor founders & SMEs

I find the manual work eating your team’s week, then build the systems that take it off your plate. Operator, not advisor. Less deck, more done.
