About

I’m Kurtis - a digital project and delivery lead with a hands-on technical background.

I’m London-based and remote-friendly, and I care a lot about calm comms, clean handovers, and work that’s easy to maintain.

I lead web and digital projects from discovery to launch, working across design, development, content, and stakeholders. I’m at my best when there’s ambiguity at the start and a real deadline at the end - bringing clarity without turning everything into ceremony.

I like delivery that feels calm, not chaotic - and I’m slightly obsessed with making things easier for Future Us (docs, naming, tidy handovers… all the unsexy stuff that saves a project).

What I do

  • Lead and support web/digital projects from early discovery through to launch.
  • Turn fuzzy requirements into an actionable plan teams can follow and trust.
  • Translate between stakeholders, designers, developers, and content teams (and keep decisions recorded).
  • Step into the detail when needed - IA/UX, CMS builds, QA, and automation - to keep momentum.
  • Improve delivery workflows so projects run consistently, not heroically.

How I work

  • Clarity first: define scope early, write it down, and keep it visible as work evolves.
  • Delivery over theatre: tidy workflows, realistic plans, and decisions that survive pressure.
  • Documentation that helps: light, useful notes teams actually refer back to.
  • Practical collaboration: steady comms across disciplines with clear next steps.
  • Detail when it matters: I’ll dig into IA/UX/CMS/automation when it unblocks progress.
  • Reduce friction: improve the process so the work feels easier, not heavier.

What I’m exploring right now

I’m actively testing how AI can support delivery - not as a gimmick, but as a way to remove repetitive work and speed up reliable output.

I’m most interested in tools that plug into existing workflows (docs, forms, sheets, project boards) rather than forcing teams into a brand new system.

Focus areas

  • AI-assisted content workflows that still respect UX, governance, and accessibility.
  • Automation that reduces admin and improves hand-offs (less “where is that file?” energy).
  • Lightweight scripts that standardise repeat delivery tasks (QA checks, formatting, reporting).

Current experiments

  • Automation pipelines that scrape/categorise content and output structured summaries to Sheets (for less manual triage).
  • PDF-to-Word formatting workflows that extract structured text and convert it into clean, consistent documents.
  • Booking/slot systems using forms + sheets + calendar patterns, designed to prevent accidental edits while still allowing change requests.
  • Voice + style experiments for drafting content in a consistent tone (useful for internal comms and blogs).

Background

I started in front-end development and naturally drifted towards delivery because I enjoyed the “make it make sense” part - turning ideas into plans, and plans into shipping work.

Over time I found the best outcomes happen when planning and build sit together. That’s shaped my style: structured delivery, with enough technical context to ask the right questions early and avoid late surprises.

Role shifts

  • Front-end build → delivery: brought technical context into planning and prioritisation.
  • Implementation → orchestration: aligned teams and stakeholders to keep work moving.
  • Delivery → automation: focused on removing repetitive tasks to protect quality and pace.

Timeline detail

Recent years: delivery leadership across web builds, platform improvements, and content operations - often in agency environments where pace is high and stakeholders are varied.

Before that: hands-on web work (front-end + CMS) that gave me strong instincts for feasibility, maintenance, and “what’ll break later”.

Throughline: bridging UX, build, and delivery - making the build phase smoother and the end product easier to run.

Outside of work

When I'm not working, I like to try and keep things balanced.

Outside of work, I’m usually bouncing between a few happy obsessions. I love gaming, especially city builders and 4X/strategy games - the kind where you start with a handful of resources and suddenly it’s 2am and you’re micromanaging an empire like it’s a real job (it isn’t, but it feels important).

When I’m not playing, I’m usually watching or reading sci-fi or something thriller-y with a bit of horror - I’m a big fan of stories that make you think and keep you slightly on edge.

I’m also constantly learning, mostly in the “fall down a rabbit hole” way: lately that’s been AI and automation, plus whatever random topic has grabbed my attention that week. And to balance out the screen time, I love cooking - experimenting, tweaking recipes, and turning “what’s in the fridge?” into something that feels like a proper meal.

Now / Next

I’m open to roles and collaborations where delivery needs both structure and technical awareness.

If you’re looking for someone who can keep the work moving, stay close to the detail, and support the team through launch, I’d be happy to talk.
