Founder and Software Developer
William works with founders and teams to build new systems, rebuild fragile ones, and add experienced software delivery capacity where momentum matters.

Working with Zebra Labs was brilliant. Honestly, Will went way beyond what I expected in terms of speed, clarity, and quality. Communication was seamless - no bloated threads, just straightforward and actionable conversations that kept things moving quickly. It genuinely felt like a partnership, not a typical agency-client dynamic. Can't recommend Zebra Labs enough!

Need help? - Who and how we help.

Whether you're an early-stage founder without a tech team, or a scaling startup needing product momentum — we help you get working software into users' hands fast. No long hiring cycles. No blank-slate proposals. Just outcomes, delivered.

Scaling startupsEnterprise teamIncrease velocity

Need senior engineering inside an active product?

We embed on a time-based basis — inside your tools, backlog, and rhythm — when you need experienced delivery capacity without a long hiring cycle. Rates and fit confirmed after a short intake.

Embedded development

Traction-stageTechnical riskInherited systems

Traction, but the stack is slowing you down?

When the product is working but changes are risky — MVPs that outgrew their first build, inherited code, or brittle handoffs — we do time-based rebuild work focused on continuity and a stronger foundation.

System rebuilds

Non-technical foundersIdea-stageMVP-ready

Idea but no tech team or CTO?

Our £1 workshop helps you validate and prototype your MVP using scalable tools that any good CTO or dev team can build on later. Designed for non-technical founders who want to move now.

Building a new product or internal system from scratch?

We work time-based with clear priorities week to week — so the first meaningful release has sensible foundations and a clear path to what comes next.

Spec-driven deliveryAgent workflowsReview and guardrails

Using AI already, but the workflow still feels messy?

We help software teams move from ad hoc prompting to a spec-driven, reviewable, and team-friendly way of shipping — improving specs, guardrails, onboarding, and review loops around real delivery.
