Enterprise tech background at Hewlett-Packard (HPUX) and Siemens (BBC account, London). 15 years running his own businesses (Daniel Bilsborough Photography, DJB Photography School, marketing, web, SEO). Now working hands-on with AI tools including Claude Code, running 14 specialist agents daily via Telegram. He was onto ChatGPT when GPT 3.5 first went viral, and considers Opus 4.6 the best agent brain available even with Codex 5.4 out. He shows founders and CEOs what a hyper-intelligent AI partner looks like for their business. Every morning starts by asking his agent manager for an up-to-date to-do list across all clients.
