How AI let me build my own software, and swap Windows for a Mac
In one year, AI has let a one-man lifting consultancy build its own lift planning software, four websites and the tools behind them, and move from Windows to Apple.
Safety professional, wildlife photographer, and maker of plans.
I’m Ricky Marsh. By day I work in lifting and construction safety, making sure heavy, complicated things happen without anyone getting hurt. The rest of the time you’ll find me behind a camera, usually somewhere quiet, waiting for wildlife to do something remarkable. This is where those two worlds meet — and where I’m mapping out where they’re taking me next.
