I Build AI-Powered SystemsThat Actually Generate Revenue.
11 production platforms. 4 apps on the App Store. 1,200+ deployments. One developer. No agency overhead. No juniors. No excuses.
You've been burned by agencies who overpromise and underdeliver. I build systems that work - fast - and you own everything.
Great Ideas Stuck in Your Head
You know exactly what would transform your business. But finding someone who can actually build it - and build it right - feels impossible.
Ideas Keep Piling Up
Every week another idea that could transform your business. But they sit in notes, waiting for 'the right time' that never comes.
Developers Don't Listen
You explain your vision, they nod along, then build something completely different. You're paying for their interpretation, not your idea.
Burned by Bad Builds
Expensive agencies, flashy demos, then... a mess that barely works and nobody can maintain. You've been here before.
No Time to Manage It
You're running a business. You don't have hours to project-manage developers who need hand-holding through every decision.
“I know what it's like.” I spent thousands of dollars and years working with offshore developers trying to bring ideas to life. The miscommunication, the rework, the builds that missed the point entirely.
That frustration is exactly why Fountainhead exists. I'm a business strategist who learned to build with code - not a developer trying to understand business. The difference matters.
— JT, Founder of Fountainhead Consulting
The Best Opportunities Are Hiding in Plain Sight
Your raw ideas are closer to reality than you think. What you need isn't just a developer who delivers - it's someone who listens, observes, and brings cross-industry experience to help define, develop, and commercialise solutions that others miss.
Strategy first. Then build fast. Always keeping you in control.
Built for Growth-Stage Businesses
Good Fit
- Your business does $2M-$20M in annual revenue
- You know what needs to be built - you just need it done right
- You've been burned by agencies who overpromise and underdeliver
- You want to own your technology, not rent someone else's
- You value speed but refuse to compromise on quality
- You want a genuine partner, not a vendor who disappears after launch
Not a Fit
- You're shopping for the cheapest option
- You want to 'explore ideas' without committing to build
- You need hand-holding through every decision
- You're pre-revenue or bootstrapping on a shoestring
- You want a strategy deck, not working software
- You expect someone else to make all your decisions

Your Vision, Built Properly
You bring the idea. I bring the technical execution. No endless meetings, no scope creep, no surprises. Just your vision, realised.
Start With Your Idea
You already know what you want. I listen properly, ask the right questions to fill gaps, then translate your vision into a clear scope - before any code is written.
- Your idea, not my interpretation of it
- Clear scope before commitment
- No surprises, no scope creep
Get It Built Right
I build fast, but I build properly. You stay in control throughout - regular updates, working demos, and the ability to steer as we go.
- See progress weekly, not quarterly
- Built to grow with you, not lock you in
- You own everything - code, data, IP
You Don't Just Get Me
You get the input of a network built over 20 years across industries - founders, developers, and specialists who've solved problems you likely haven't identified yet.
I take on a small number of projects at a time. This means I'm genuinely invested in making your idea work, not just delivering hours.
I work best with businesses doing $2M–$20M in annual revenue. If you're earlier stage, my free tools will give you the frameworks to grow. If you're larger, let's discuss what a custom engagement looks like.

About JT
I've spent 20 years improving systems across industries - from fintech to hospitality, e-commerce to AI. Everyone's talking about AI, but the real value is in building tools that make it work for your specific business. That's what I do.
I Actually Build Things
Not a consultant who hands you a strategy deck and disappears. Not an agency that farms your work to juniors. I write the code, I architect the solutions, I'm the one you talk to throughout.
I've built apps, platforms, and AI systems across industries. That breadth means I can often see simpler solutions - patterns that work in one industry applied fresh to yours.
The best ideas deserve to exist. I help make that happen.

Real systems in production, generating real outcomes:
11+ Production Systems Built
Apps on the App Store. Shopify plugins live. Operations platforms running daily.
$2M+ Revenue Enabled

AI That Actually Works
Not demos - production AI handling real customer interactions, content generation, and automation.
20+ years improving systems across fintech, hospitality, e-commerce, and education.
"Great ideas are everywhere. The gap is finding someone who can actually bring them to life. That's what I do."
