Im a self taught software engineer based in Manchester, England, who has founded and scaled three companies. Using skills i've learned over the years from many failed businesses. I've learned the hard way and now I'm here to help you avoid the same mistakes providing technical, strategic, and tactical advice for your business.
Unlike traditional consultants who parachute in with theoretical advice, I'm still in the trenches building and scaling my own ventures. The systems I recommend are the same ones I use today. As an AI technology consultant and Fractional CTO serving clients in Manchester and across the UK, I bring real-world experience to every engagement.
I'm currently building and scaling three companies. The advice I give is tested in real production environments with real users and revenue not theoretical frameworks from a textbook.
Building three different companies across AI consultancy, event marketing, and freight operations gives me unique cross industry insights. I've seen what works at scale across multiple domains.
I understand cash constraints, investor pressure, and the need to ship fast. I've been there. My recommendations balance technical excellence with business reality because I live that tension every day.

Real feedback from founders and leadership teams I've worked with.
"I highly recommend Elliot, Matty and the team at Mozstro for their exceptional work on app development. After a frustrating and detrimental experience with a previous developer, Matty and Elliot's expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to improvement have been a game-changer. His proactive communication, problem-solving skills, and genuine care for delivering a quality product have been significant in bringing my app to life. As we approach the launch this month, I can confidently say that the app's success is thanks to the teams dedication and hard work. I'm grateful for his contributions and look forward to continuing our collaboration."

"I've had the privilege of working closely with Elliot Morris, and I can confidently say that he is one of the most innovative and results-driven technology leaders I've encountered. As Figg's Interim CTO, Elliot has played a pivotal role in shaping our AI strategy, building advanced financial analytics tools, and driving technical execution at an exceptional pace. His expertise in AI, cloud architecture, and financial technology has directly contributed to Figg's ability to deliver cutting-edge solutions. From developing a real-time sentiment analysis engine to seamlessly integrating open banking protocols, Elliot has demonstrated a rare combination of technical brilliance and strategic thinking. His ability to tackle complex problems, lead teams, and execute with precision has been invaluable to our mission. Beyond his technical acumen, Elliot is a true leader—collaborative, forward-thinking, and always pushing boundaries. Any company would be lucky to have him at the helm of its technology vision. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a transformative technology leader."

"Elliot is a developer who understands the right balance between business requirements and technical solutions to ship things fast. He is always available for critical issues and helps the team whenever it is needed. One thing I have learned from him is the ability to learn multiple tech stacks. One day he is working on Python and another day he is writing APIs in TypeScript, meanwhile managing the database. I highly recommend him."

"Elliot is an incredibly talented engineer. We worked closely together in a consultancy role for a client which involved pulling together a set of complex analytical modules into a central, user friendly, and fast service. The work Elliot did underpinned the success of the project, and provided the software and data architecture which ultimately drove the project to completion. I cannot recommend Elliot enough as a worker. He is incredibly passionate, knowledgeable, and takes initiative to provide a truly professional service. Elliot communicated well within our project, and was a great team player. His friendly and positive energy was a key addition to our team."

"I worked with Elliot on a couple of different projects at Hippo Digital and his work ethic, aptitude and professionalism were all exceptional. Elliot's reputation across the business preceded him before my arrival and everyone who has worked with him has been impressed by his technical capabilities and how well he fits in as part of any team. I couldn't recommend Elliot more."
Ellis Allan
Senior Product Manager at Netcompany
"Elliot and I have worked together for a few months on a project with NHS Digital, where I am a new starter on the project. Elliot is a pleasure to work with, he has excellent organisation and communication skills and displays great leadership qualities. He is a talented developer with a deep understanding of the projects he deals with, able to make architectural decisions and collaborate with cross-functional teams. He is also friendly and approachable, always open to answer questions and help colleagues."
Amy Pryor
Software Developer at Gaist
"I've worked with Elliot for a few months now, as a platform engineer I must say that the Dev & plaftform engineer collaboration we've had has been amazing. I would say what sets him apart are the length and breadth of his technical expertise along with the debugging skills and "Can do" attitude. He's managed some advanced and crucial implementation in AWS Cloud, I am delighted to work with Elliot & since he picks up any tech with ease ( Fixed the Automation tests in our project going above and beyond his usual work ) I must say he is a great addition to the team and comes highly recommended!"
Khushal Kargutkar
Engineer
"I worked with Elliot on an NHS project for 6 months in the capacity of Lead Architect and Elliot was one of the squad's Developers/Engineers, a very capable technologist that straddles across a number of services and processes. He is supportive, always willing to take on new challenges and most importantly and impressively, consistently delivers quality products. I also see Elliot as someone who listens, accepts challenges and makes necessary amends when required but as well Elliot would do his research to make informed decisions and make proposals accordingly. Elliot is a pleasure to work with and would be an invaluable asset to any software engineering, cloud, digital transformation project that adopts new modern and cloud-native technologies. I have really enjoyed working with Elliot and would recommend Elliot as a great resource to any such project as described above."
