I’m Scott Worsnop: software developer, technology entrepreneur, musician and lifelong problem-solver. I take complicated systems apart, understand how the pieces fit, then rebuild them cleaner - preferably with the boring parts automated.
Born in Harrogate in the UK, I moved to Spain when I was 11. Travelling has become a big part of who I am: new places, different people, and increasingly life in a camper with the freedom to work from almost anywhere.
That fits the way I like to collaborate. I’m interested in companies in different countries, getting to know the people behind them, visiting teams in person and understanding how a business actually works, rather than only seeing it through a screen.
Long before most of the technology, there was music. I’ve played fingerstyle guitar and piano for most of my life. Fingerstyle probably sums up my personality: instead of one part, I prefer trying to play the bass, chords, melody and percussion at the same time. Why make things easy?
I love taking a piece of music apart, understanding how it fits together, then rebuilding it in my own way. That habit crosses over into almost everything else I do.
I’ve spent years building software, automation systems, web platforms, AI tools and businesses. Founded and sold technology companies, worked with large-scale automation and data, and today work heavily with PHP/Laravel, Python, JavaScript, SQL, AI and automation.
The technology itself interests me, but solving the actual problem interests me more. Complicated thing in, cleaner system out, with as much of the boring work automated as possible.
I’ve never been particularly good at staying inside one box. Music leads to technology. Technology leads to business ideas. Travelling leads to new perspectives. One project inevitably creates three more.
Whether I’m looking at a company, a piece of software or a piece of music, the instinct is the same: how does this work, and could it be better?
Each project starts with a different problem, so each one gets a different visual language.
Operational SaaS / product platform
A modular business operating system joining CRM, leads, staff, customer portals, support, content, workflows, communications, marketing attribution and third-party systems into one managed environment.
Browser intelligence / marketplace research
A browser companion that captures second-hand listings, understands product generations and pricing, spots unusually good value and grows reusable research knowledge as you browse.
Realtime creative technology
Audio-reactive WebGL visuals with camera movement detection, gesture interaction, custom 3D models, tunnels, live effects and a visual designer built for clubs, DJs and events.
Content protection · data · automation
My current operating company. 12+ years running copyright monitoring and removal at scale. Built from scratch: large-scale crawling, SERP detection, evidence packages, case handling and high-volume takedown workflows for brands and studios. Still hands-on as founder and technical lead, now with image intelligence and AI-assisted decisions inside the same machinery.
Computer vision · automatic scoring · live streaming
A darts platform in motion: camera-based image detection that reads the board, calculates scores automatically, and feeds an online streaming experience. Proof of concept already working. Public product not live yet at camdarts.com.
Designed, coded, ran and monetised the product myself during the early consumer-web-video era.
The platform was acquired by Hand Held Entertainment, a NASDAQ-listed Silicon Valley company. That experience permanently blurred the line between engineer, founder, product person and operator for me.
ProTek Media / xTakedowns is my current operation: crawling, SERP monitoring, evidence, case handling and high-volume copyright removal for rights holders. Twelve-plus years of real throughput, not a side project, and the place where most of my automation, data engineering and applied AI instincts were forged.
I’m focused on software where AI is part of the machinery, not a decorative chatbot, and on products that remove friction from actual work. Always interested in meeting ambitious people, working with interesting companies and seeing where the next project, collaboration or journey leads.
I’m comfortable moving up and down the stack, which is often more useful than being brilliant at only one layer.
Full-stack systems that connect user experience, business rules, databases, integrations and deployment.
From prototype through architecture, implementation, deployment and the uncomfortable details between them.
Untangle legacy workflows, automate repetitive operations, modernise infrastructure and remove expensive friction.
Find where models actually create leverage, then connect them to tools, data, permissions and real workflows.
Product direction, architecture, unusual integrations, visiting teams in person, Spain-facing coordination and difficult problem solving.
Based in Spain · bilingual EN/ES · open to collaborating with ambitious people and interesting companies across borders. Meeting people at VDS.tech this week. Happy to talk.
