This site tracks almost every project I've worked on, many assigned to the graveyard but some still alive, shown as a running scoreboard of gross revenue, lifespan, and status. Click into any project to see what actually happened, including the story behind it, wins, losses, and the real takeaways I learned along the way. Think of it as part portfolio, part post-mortem, part personal experiment in what works and what doesn't.

Project	Year	Gross (est.)Gross	Status	Upvotes
Movie Recommendation Engine	2024 – 2025	N/A	academic	0
A comprehensive machine learning project exploring the design, implementation, and evaluation of movie recommendation systems using real-world MovieLens datasets. The project compares content-based filtering and collaborative filtering approaches, including neural networks, matrix factorisation, alternating least squares (ALS), and linear regression models. Performance is assessed using RMSE, training time, and memory usage, with a focus on balancing prediction accuracy and computational efficiency for scalable real-world applications.

Philease Dogg Daycare	2018 – 2019	£38,000	retired	0
After leaving SAP to try and start something of my own, I looked for gig work walking dogs so I wouldn’t have to rely solely on my savings. I started by listing myself on the DogBuddy app and handing out some flyers with my mum’s three Scotties. Relatively quickly, I received my first request to walk and look after a puppy, which was really hard work (he wasn’t being trained at home at all, and he was quite a large pup). I actually ended up having to say I couldn’t look after him anymore, as he was causing more damage than I was earning. Read more → Wins:Helped dogs.Profitable.Nice memories.Good experience (for starting disabled dog charity). Losses:My furniture.Time. Takeaways:Solving a real problem, at the right price, drives demand.Solo success ≠ scale.Start as you mean to go on.Trust compounds.Word of mouth works. dogs

Man Hunt (back to base)	2007 – 2007	Social	limited	0
In 2007, when I first attended Kingston University, I found myself in a bit of a predicament. Originally, I was sleeping on the floor of a friend's bedroom in the halls of residence. Thanks to the clearing process, I hadn't managed to secure my own accommodation right at the start. However, fate smiled upon me, and within about six weeks, I managed to get a place in halls as others dropped out. This marked the beginning of my life at uni, full of friendships, amazing memories and some fairly ludicrous escapade. Read more → Wins:Friendship & Memories Losses:Hoggy's ankle Takeaways:A good idea self replicatesPeople model other people
Pimp My Own Ride	2006 – 2006	Experiment	one-off	0
Eventually I passed my driving test. I think it was on the seventh try. Without going into all the details, I kept turning up to the test centre in a car that wasn’t quite roadworthy, lol. I was always tinkering, with a fluffy steering wheel cover, trying to change the seats, and hooking random stuff up to the battery. Read more → Wins:Extended my skill setSweet ass rims Losses:No claims bonus Takeaways:Learning is better than paying someone else to do itSelf learning gives you flexibility neon lights playstation 2
Vodka Jelly Shots	2006 – 2007	£420	one-off	0
Vodka Jelly ShotsUnscathed from any previous failures, with high energy, and optimism about the ease of doing things.

Read more → Wins:Quick and easy.Entrepreneurial.Confidence building.Adventure.Working with friends. Losses:Body fat. Takeaways:A good slogan, and chiselled abs can sell anything.Timing is key, Gay Pride is now heavily guarded. vodka jelly asda
Music Gigs	2005 – 2006	£2,820	limited	0
Between 2005 and 2006, I organised a handful of gigs in Brighton, making a small profit from each show. They often featured my band at the time, Citizen X, alongside other local acts. All I really wanted to do was play shows; the idea of making money never even crossed my mind. A lot of the process felt very natural to me.

I loved tinkering with electronics.The Day I Wired My First Hi-FiWhen I was about eight, my mum and dad bought a three-disc changing Sony hi-fi.
