Training and teaching

I teach people to see their work as a process, then automate it.

Alongside building, I train teams and professionals to map how their work flows, find the manual steps, and automate them. I also teach public speaking, and computing to primary school pupils.

About Larry Jay

I'm Larry Jay, an automation and solutions architect with 7+ years building production software across telecommunications, insurance, banking and healthcare. I design the whole system: the data model, the approval logic, the integrations and the interface people actually use. Today I build multi-country Power Platform solutions for a telecom group operating in nine markets. Before that I shipped Rails, .NET, Node and Python platforms, RPA for banking reconciliation, and AI-assisted tools for insurance and HR. Outside work, I love sport and building communities.
