About

About Paul Barby

I started on building sites and ended up building systems. The thread runs the whole way through: find the structure inside the mess, then make it repeatable.

Construction taught me how work actually moves. Code taught me how to systemise it. The last two years I've put both to work building AI that runs real operations every day. Most of the spreadsheets I replace look like they were designed during a hostage situation.

I build systems, not slide decks. I run them, and I teach them. That's the difference.
