Congratulations. You've unlocked absolutely nothing.
Well. Maybe a bit of respect.

MiBe strives for perfection in everything it commits to. Alas, perfection can often be unobtainable. Where this is the case, the philosophy changes into something that makes everything achievable. To quote the massively inflencial and critically acclaimed piece of literature by Doctor Ray Bennet:

GCSE
Standard school career. Nothing remarkable — except a rogue grade A in Food Technology that remains, to this day, a personal best.
🍳 barely ediblePost A-Levels
BEng (Hons) International Computing Science. Graduated with a desmond (2:2),
which is the respectable way of saying student life was enjoyed.
A year off first. No regrets.
Early career
Started on a graduate scheme doing software testing for a company that makes headlines for all the wrong reasons. Did that for two years, finished it, then went contracting. Financial institutions, mostly. Success came at a price though...
🔥 everything wasn't ok2020
Something broke during lockdown. Not the kind of thing you walk off,
the kind where you have to make a choice about what comes next,
and "more of the same" wasn't one of the options.
If you're going through something similar: reach out. Seriously.
Mind and
Samaritans
exist for exactly this.
Post-lockdown
Instead of going back to a desk, got a CSCS card and went to work on construction sites as a labourer. Started from the bottom — general labourer, then power tools, then skilled labourer. Turns out physical work and a change of scene does something good for the brain.

Moved into materials control, where the IT background started pulling its weight again. Looked at how sites manage materials. Decided it was a mess. Started building IPOS — initially as a hobby, currently as something that might actually matter.
🟠 this is the one// ipos
Materials management on construction sites is a mess.
Spreadsheets. WhatsApp. Guesswork.
IPOS is what happens when a software engineer gets a CSCS card
and decides to actually fix the problem.
Track materials on site in real time. Not "probably by the hoarding." Actually on site, on a timber rack, in a compound.
Deliveries logged. Stock tracked. No more walking the site to find those 30 lengths of CLS.
Not an office lackey's idea of what site workers need.
Built by a site worker, for site workers.
// contact
MiBe is one person. There's no sales team, no support portal, no chatbot. Just a form, and a person who will actually read what you send.
If you're interested in IPOS, have a genuinely interesting problem, or just want to say something — this is the way in.
MiBe has no social media presence. That's intentional.
