Danny Maddock

Based in Brighton, I design and deploy high-precision no-code automations for agencies and operators. Your digital systems require the same structural integrity as a physical build—so I bring a master craftsman's eye to every project. Whether it's a data pipeline, an API integration, or a multi-app workflow—it's engineered to last, and built to scale.

"I didn't stop building. I found a new set of tools."

My Story

15 Years at the Bench

For a decade and a half, I built with my hands—crafting bespoke furniture, architectural projects, and art installations. It was physical, exacting work where every piece had to hold and there was no such thing as 'close enough'.

Permanent 'Tools Down'

When carpal tunnel syndrome forced a career change in 2024, I went looking for new ways to solve problems. I discovered platforms like Make, n8n, and Airtable, and was immediately hooked. The physical toll was gone, but the fundamental mechanics of building remained.

Building in the Digital Medium

Today, I architect custom digital infrastructure. I apply the exact same attention to detail to a complex automation build as I used to apply to hand-cutting a perfect dovetail joint. The medium has changed, but the craftsmanship hasn't.

Featured Case Studies

Backend automation to eliminate friction, and frontend app building for rapid prototyping.

Bi-Directional Notion Sync

Engineered a robust two-way sync between isolated Notion workspaces to share operational data with external contractors. Built with strict zero-trust parameters and infinite loop prevention, ensuring sensitive internal databases remain entirely air-gapped from client-facing boards.

End-to-End Prospecting Engine

Replaced a manual bottleneck with a custom search-query builder wired directly into the Perplexity API. The system acts as an automated research layer—programmatically finding and qualifying leads, running automated email verification, and pushing structured data directly into the agency's CRM.

AI-Powered Guitar Tuition MVP

Architected a functional proof-of-concept for a complex, AI-driven education application. Built rapidly in Bubble, this MVP successfully validated the core OpenAI logic and user interface, allowing the founder to test the market before committing to heavy traditional development costs.

// Scale Operations

Your growth is outpacing your internal systems. I design and build the backend architecture—automated pipelines, multi-client data flows, and real-time reporting—that lets your team scale output without scaling headcount.

  • CRM & reporting automation
  • Multi-client data architecture
  • Lead routing & qualification

// Legacy Modernization

Trade expertise and field knowledge shouldn't be buried in spreadsheets. I build the digital infrastructure to systematise your operations—quoting, scheduling, invoicing—so the business runs with precision, even when you're on-site.

  • Automated quoting & invoicing
  • Job scheduling & client reminders
  • Operational dashboards

// Venture Prototyping

Traditional development is too slow for validation. Using platforms like Bubble and production-grade AI APIs, I architect functional MVPs that prove your core product logic to users and investors—in weeks, not quarters.

  • Functional MVP development
  • AI tool integration
  • Investor-ready prototypes
