Build with Mira

Built for your business. Designed for your people.

I help businesses implement technology that their teams understand, trust, and actually want to use.

Anyone can spin up a system these days. AI can build you a dashboard by lunchtime. The hard part was never the technology — it’s getting people to use it.

The finance team still using that spreadsheet from 2019? They’re not doing it to be difficult. They’re doing it because the last system someone built for them didn’t respect how they work. It was designed for the data, not for the people.

I’m Zach. I build technology for businesses — but more importantly, I make sure it lands. That means understanding your culture before I touch your tech stack. Sitting with your team, not just your leadership. Designing around how people actually work, not how a system thinks they should. And staying involved long after go-live to make sure adoption actually happens.

The best technology is the kind nobody has to think about. It just works, and people trust it.

What Makes This Different

Building software is easy. Getting people to use it is the hard part.

I start with people, not platforms

Before I write a line of code, I spend time with the people who’ll use the system. What’s frustrating them? What are they working around? What have they been promised before that didn’t deliver? The answers shape everything I build.

I design for adoption, not just functionality

A system that does everything but nobody uses is worse than a spreadsheet that everyone understands. I build things that feel natural to the team using them — familiar enough to trust, smart enough to save time.

I stay until it sticks

Handover isn’t a ZIP file and a wave goodbye. I do the training, the documentation, the hand-holding through the first few weeks. The job isn’t done when the system goes live — it’s done when your team is running it without me.

One person, the whole way through

I run the discovery, design the solution, build the platform, and manage the implementation. Nothing gets lost in translation between what you asked for and what gets built — because it’s the same person the whole way through.

What I Do

Implementation & Change Management

The bit everyone else skips. I manage go-live, training, documentation, and the messy human side of getting teams to trust something new. I’ve seen enough failed systems to know that adoption is where projects succeed or die.

Solutions Architecture & Design

Working with your leadership team to understand the real problem, map out requirements, and design an approach that fits your business — not just today, but where you’re heading.

Custom Platform Development

Finance platforms, operational dashboards, internal tools, data hubs — built end-to-end and designed around how your team actually works. Not a generic product forced into your workflow.

Data Architecture & Governance

If your data’s in five places and none of them agree, that’s a problem that only gets worse. I design the structures, ownership, and sync that turn fragmented data into something your whole business can trust.

AI & Automation

Practical automation that takes repetitive work off your team’s plate. Not AI for the sake of it — the kind of stuff that saves real hours every week and people actually notice.

How I Work

From conversation to confidence

Listen.

I sit with your team — not just leadership — and understand what’s actually happening on the ground. The real problems, not the ones in the brief.

Design.

I map a solution that works for the people using it, not just the people requesting it. Architecture, data model, integrations — shaped around your culture.

Build.

Iterative, with your team involved. They see it early, give feedback, and start building familiarity before go-live.

Implement.

Go-live, training, documentation, and support through the transition. Your team understands the system and feels ownership over it.

Evolve.

I stick around. Requirements shift, new ideas come up, and the system grows with your business.

The Work

130-person agency

Finance Platform

Finance was running on a mess of Google Sheets, manual CSVs, pivot tables, and scripts. Deals, work orders, commissions, team revenue — all in different spreadsheets, no naming conventions, no permissions, no single source of truth. Nobody fully trusted the numbers and pulling a report took hours.

I mapped out how the finance team and leadership actually worked — what decisions they needed to make, what numbers they needed to see, where things kept breaking. Then I built a unified system in Airtable for team revenue allocation, deal tracking, and projections across clients. C-suite and finance adopted it immediately and use it daily.

Now rebuilding the whole thing as a full-stack platform in TypeScript, React, and Supabase. Proper auth, automated reporting, every employee gets access.

£3,000/month → £50/month

Hours of manual reporting every week → zero

130-person agency

ISO 27001 Certification

No security framework, no data governance, no certification. Brief was simple: get ISO 27001 within a year, starting from nothing.

Built the ISMS from scratch. Policies, access controls, risk assessments, compliance monitoring. Led data audits across the business, figured out where sensitive data actually lived versus where people thought it lived, and redesigned how it was handled.

Certified within 12 months

IT Operations

When I joined there was no IT function. No asset tracking, no device management, no onboarding process, no software licence visibility. 130 people, zero oversight of the technology estate.

Built the whole thing — asset management, software licensing, people management, request workflows, Wi-Fi diagnostics, onboarding and offboarding automation. All in Airtable with n8n handling the automation. Currently rebuilding it as a self-hosted full-stack system to cut the platform costs.

About

About Mira

Mira Consultancy is led by Zach — a solutions architect and implementation consultant based in London.

I spent seven years at Apple, and that’s where the foundation was set. Not the technical stuff — the human stuff. Understanding why people resist things, how to explain complex ideas simply, and why the best technology is the kind that disappears into the background.

When I’m not connecting people with technology, I’m playing live music across London. Different stage, same energy.
