Portrait of Rory Gianni

Hello, I'm Rory. I help design-led teams turn research, insight, and vision into working software - without losing the thinking that makes the work distinctive.

Bringing design thinking to life

Your work starts with careful research, sharp thinking, and a clear point of view. It deserves technical delivery that carries the vision into working systems.

I’ve spent 15+ years working independently as a technology consultant and full-stack developer, taking early ideas through to production for startups, agencies, universities, and the public sector. Alongside delivery, I’ve trained and mentored teams in software development and open data, collaborating closely with design practitioners on design-led research and civic-tech projects.
