About

I’m a pharmacist in primary care, working towards a career in commercial law in life sciences. Along the way, I design and build apps that make guidelines, cases and deals easier to find.

CliniGuide · iOS app · In development

Find the right guideline in seconds, mid-consultation.

Primary care clinicians juggle local formularies, national guidance and society advice across dozens of sites. CliniGuide brings 2,134 guidelines from 58 local areas, NICE, SIGN and 49 professional societies into one searchable library.

  • Search by drug, brand, condition, abbreviation or a whole question, with typo correction
  • Suggests drugs in the same class and related searches
  • Every result opens the publisher’s own page, so you always see the current version

A live preview of CliniGuide with one example search: apixaban. Every result opens in the app, where the full library lives.

Commercial Synopsis · iOS app & podcast

Stay on top of the IP stories that move life sciences and tech.

Commercial Synopsis is an iOS app that turns patent cases, licensing deals and policy changes into short, sourced stories, so aspiring IP lawyers build real commercial awareness.

  • An IP briefing of the week’s top stories: what happened, why it matters, and the official source
  • Filter by area (patents, life sciences, tech, copyright) and by litigation, transactions or policy

A live demo with 12 of the app’s stories. Search “SPC”, “AI” or “biosimilar”, filter by area, and open a story. Not legal advice.
