About

21. Newcastle. On a Mission.

I'm a student at Northumbria University, currently on placement at Baker Hughes — a global energy technology company in 120+ countries — where I use Microsoft Copilot, Power Automate and Power BI to automate real procurement processes and reduce critical path lead times.

I built AIgnite to bring the same automation tools global companies use to North East small businesses — at a price that actually makes sense.

FAQ

Questions Answered

What exactly is AI automation?

It's using software to automatically handle repetitive tasks your business does regularly — logging orders, sending updates, confirming bookings. Think of it as a system that works 24/7 without mistakes.

I'm not technical at all — is this for me?

Absolutely. You don't need to understand any of the tech — that's my job. I build it, test it and hand it over in plain English. If you can use WhatsApp, you can use what I build.

How much does it cost?

Every project is different so I don't do one-size-fits-all pricing. Everything starts with a free call where I'll give you a straight, honest quote. Most systems cost a fraction of what a London agency would charge.

How long does it take to build?

Most systems are built and live within 48 hours of the discovery call. More complex workflows can take 3–5 days. Either way it's fast — you won't be waiting weeks.

Will this work with tools I already use?

Most likely yes. I build on tools like Google Sheets, Calendly, WhatsApp Business and Gmail — things most small businesses already have or can set up for free.

What if something breaks after launch?

All projects come with 2 weeks of free support after launch. If anything isn't working the way it should, I'll fix it — no questions asked.
