We're SimpleShift! A software company operating in Colwyn Bay, North Wales since February of 2026. Our founders are all Bangor university alumni with a range of experience in both field and desk work.
We believe in making software that people want to use, not just because their boss says they have to. You shouldn't be frustrated with your work because the tools you're given make it unnecessarily difficult. Our software is designed to be easy to use and flexibly priced. We use (or create) open standards so your data is easy to export, and you are never locked into our system.
Adrian is our dev ops manager and developer. He studied computer science at university, and is currently completing his Masters degree. At university, he was the president of the largest hobby society, organizing events for 100s of members. In his spare time, he independently develops games for his own studio, CrunchyCode Games.
Alfred is our designer and secretary. He spent several years working as a volunteer railway guard, starting a larger youth volunteering scheme, before studying Computer Science at university. He's used computers all his life, and has over a decade of experience using them professionally.
John is our director and lead developer. He has several years of experience working as a grass cutter in the North Wales, Manchester, and Liverpool areas, mostly on motorways and rural roads. He's also worked as a cleaner for gyms, public toilets, and fire-damaged locations. He enjoys spending time outdoors, traveling off-road and walking up mountains.
He has a rescue dog named Ronja.
We will use generative and non-generative AI in the creation and functionality of our products. AI functionality will only be included in our products where it makes sense to us, we don't want to compromise on user experience or reliability. We will never send your data to LLM providers without your consent. All code is reviewed and understood by real human beings, whether hand-written or generated. We will carefully review our usage of 3rd party services and code libraries to ensure they meet our standards for AI usage.
