A growing archive of scripts, edge cases and implementation patterns documented from production systems.
A quick article on something a little different from my usual CRM functions and debugging notes. This time I have been playing with OpenAI's ChatGPT Image 2.5 and its sketch feature, using a few very rough drawings as the starting point for a Georgian-inspired home concept. The idea was to see how far I could take some...
A quick article on using a Zoho Analytics discrepancy table to add missing products and update existing product records in Zoho CRM. In this example, Unleashed supplies the product details, Zoho Analytics identifies the differences, and a scheduled Deluge function applies the changes to a custom CRM module.

Discuss a systemWorking principle
The approach behind the work is structured and methodical, drawing on ITIL, PRINCE-style delivery, and Agile implementation, but applied pragmatically rather than ceremonially. The focus is on understanding how systems behave in production, designing solutions that scale with growth, and documenting outcomes clearly so they can be reused, improved, and built upon over time.
