I'm James Pickard — a software developer based in Bungay, Suffolk. I also run the Green Dragon pub on the high street, so I understand the realities of running a business in this part of the world.
I help small and medium businesses across Suffolk figure out where AI can genuinely save time and money — and then I build it. No jargon, no hype, just practical solutions that work with the tools and budgets you already have.

London agencies will charge you London prices and send someone who's never set foot in East Anglia. I live and work here. I understand the pace, the industries, and the kind of businesses that make Suffolk tick — from agriculture and food production to tourism and independent retail.
When you work with me, you're talking to the person who builds the thing. No account managers, no handoffs, no surprises.
I built Dewing Grain a modern commodity trading platform that replaced spreadsheets and email chains with a real-time system handling contracts, pricing, and logistics. If you're a Suffolk business wrestling with manual processes, this is the kind of thing I do.
