    Augustus Dons

    I started a football team called Augustus Dons. Got the group together, sorted kits, organised matches, and keep it running.

    Add the story here. When it started, how many players, your position, best memories.

    Liverpool

    Originally from Liverpool. University of Liverpool for four years studying computer science. The city shaped most of what I care about.

    London

    Based in London now. Still settling in.

    What I am building next

    Weekend projects designed to deepen my understanding of AI architecture and build real tools I can talk about in client conversations. Each one solves a genuine problem.

    AI Site Report Generator
    Weekend 1
    A field engineer finishes a site visit and speaks into their phone. The app transcribes, structures, and generates a formatted PDF report with photos, fault descriptions, and recommended next steps. Built for how engineers actually work, not how software people think they work.
    Whisper API, Claude API, PDF generation, React Native
    LEARNS: Audio transcription pipelines, structured output from unstructured speech, mobile-first AI
    MCP Server for ConnectWise
    Weekend 2
    A Model Context Protocol server that connects Claude to ConnectWise PSA. Ask Claude natural language questions about open tickets, billable hours, client history, and SLA status. The kind of integration MSPs would pay for.
    MCP Protocol, ConnectWise API, TypeScript, Claude Desktop
    LEARNS: MCP server architecture, API integration patterns, building tools Claude can use natively
    Contract Comparison Engine
    Weekend 3
    Upload two versions of a contract or proposal. The tool extracts key terms, highlights what changed between versions, flags risks, and generates a plain-English summary of what matters. Enterprise legal teams would use this daily.
    Claude API, PDF parsing, diff algorithms, document chunking
    LEARNS: Document processing at scale, long-context strategies, building trust-critical AI tools
    AI Cost Estimator for Enterprises
    Weekend 4
    A calculator that takes a business use case description, estimates token volumes, compares pricing across Claude, GPT, and Gemini, and generates a cost projection with ROI analysis. The tool I wish I had for every pre-sales conversation.
    Multi-model API pricing, React, data visualisation, prompt analysis
    LEARNS: Model economics, token estimation, building tools for the sales process itself
    Prompt Engineering Workbench
    Weekend 5
    Test the same input against different prompts, models, and temperatures side by side. Save prompt libraries, track which versions perform best, export results. A tool for people who write prompts professionally, not casually.
    Claude API, GPT API, Gemini API, comparison UI, prompt versioning
    LEARNS: Multi-model evaluation, prompt optimisation patterns, building internal tooling
    RAG Pipeline Visualiser
    Weekend 6
    Upload documents, watch them get chunked, embedded, and indexed in real time. Then query them and see exactly which chunks were retrieved, their relevance scores, and how the final answer was assembled. Makes the invisible visible.
    Azure AI Search, vector embeddings, D3.js visualisation, Claude API
    LEARNS: RAG internals end-to-end, embedding models, retrieval debugging, client-facing explainability

    What I am looking for

    AI solutions consultant or technical pre-sales roles. Somewhere that needs someone who can talk to a client in the morning and ship code in the afternoon.
