Projects I’ve Built

Tiger Avon kit car with Toyota 4AGE engine, built by Adrian Tuckwell

This is my Tiger Avon, powered by a 1600 Toyota 4AGE engine with twin Jenvey throttle bodies. I built it myself — a proper labour of love. Lightweight, simple, and slightly over-engineered… which probably sums me up quite well.

Engineering to Software

I started my career in Oil & Gas as a Chartered Engineer. About 8 years ago, I made a left turn into software, joining CodeClan in Edinburgh. It turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve made — now focused on fixing real-world digital problems.

Notes to Self

A lot of this started as notes to myself — things I didn’t want to forget, or problems I didn’t want to solve twice.

What This Blog Is About

Most of what I write is about:

• Systems that don’t quite work
• Real-world software problems
• Productivity and organisation
• Making technology simpler

If you’ve ever thought “this shouldn’t be this complicated” — you’re in the right place.

Udny Solutions

I run Udny Solutions, where I help people fix simple, real-world tech problems.

• Broken websites
• Forms that don’t work properly
• Account and login issues
• General “why is this doing that?” problems

Simple fixes, without the jargon.

Get help

Oh, how we laughed!

It's a phrase I use often and truly enjoy.
