AI & systems consulting for SME owners
AI that earns its keep
I help business owners put AI to work on the parts of their operation that actually make money — quoting, scheduling, data, customer conversations — with thirty years of building systems that stick.
No hype. No jargon. Working software.

About
I'm David Eldridge. For thirty years I've built and fixed the systems businesses actually run on — in construction, pharma, ports, aviation, finance and healthcare — usually sponsored directly by the CEO, CFO or owner.
Now I bring that experience to AI: not the hype, the working end of it. I help SME owners work out what AI would genuinely do for their business, then build it so it holds up in daily use.
