About

Neil has been developing software professionally since 1989 — starting in machine language and assembler on the 8086, 6502 and 68000, then C, Delphi and C#, through to the modern web stack that powers AllSports.World today.

He founded an ISP in 1993 and was at the forefront of building and hosting e‑commerce sites shortly afterwards, back when doing business on the web was still a novelty. As a consultant for Borland Software he worked inside the big-four accountancy firms and several large banks.

After relocating to the UK in 2000 he founded a technology services company in the logistics space, rising from CIO to CEO, and successfully sold the business via private equity in 2023. AllSports.World is what came next.

Away from the keyboard: rally and motorsport in general — and most importantly, supporting his daughter Emily in her circuit racing career.

Software

Personal projects

Built outside the AllSports.World product line — free to download and use.

Music Deduper macOS Free to download and use MIT

A native macOS app (SwiftUI) that cleans up a messy music library. A four-step wizard scans tags and durations, groups duplicate tracks with album artwork, and marks the best copy of each to keep — you review, adjust, then send the duplicates to the Trash. It can copy your keepers into a clean Artist/Album tree on a Roon server or NAS — asking before overwriting anything, and if the target is a Roon ROCK it stops Roon Server first and offers to restart it after. It has its own built-in SMB network engine: the app finds servers on your network, lists shares, browses folders and copies files by talking to the server directly — macOS's fragile network mount isn't involved at all. Parallel verified copies self-tune from measured throughput, hung operations are abandoned and retried, and every run is logged with a live time estimate. v1.4 adds a File Commander: a two-pane file manager for your server — browse, rename, make folders, move and copy (Mac↔server or around the server itself), delete, and export a folder as a zip, all faster and steadier than Finder against an old Roon ROCK.
