Quality and value.
Both lanes open.

Apps and AI agents since 2004. Based in Birmingham.

Spaghetti Junction in Birmingham at night, seen from above: concrete motorway loops on round pillars, streaked with red and white light trails, and the canal running beneath them through dark misty woods, with a green narrowboat, one warm window lit at the stern, a brick works chimney, and the city lights on the horizon.

Two ways to work with me

An app for your customers, or agents for the jobs your staff put off.

App development

iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows and the web. Sketch, build, store review and the updates after.

AI agents

Agents that do the quoting, chasing, scheduling and reporting your team does by hand. The same kind that run this company.

Apps from £5,000. Agent work starts with a £500 discovery session, credited if you go ahead. Pricing in full

What I've built

13 in the stores, one on its way, one in early access. No vapourware.

  1. You talk to the person who builds it

    There are no account managers. The person on the call writes the code, so decisions get made on the call.

  2. The agents do the volume. I steer.

    AI handles the scaffolding, the tests and the boilerplate. The architecture, the judgement, and making it work on a real phone in a real hand stay with me.

  3. Proposals in a day

    A full client proposal, with mockups, spec and pricing, has gone out in under 24 hours.

What clients say

Eric and Overpass have proved to be a great asset in the completion of our fun interactive game app. The team went above and beyond to deliver an app we were really pleased with.

Alex Allaway, Nominet

I took my idea to Overpass and within a few months they made my idea into something amazing. Can't recommend them highly enough.

Kevin Peake, PESA

He was patient, helpful and gave me countless meetings in bringing Menu Magician to fruition. I would fully recommend him.

It offers liberating freedom in plotting and tracking the progress of your writing. … I recommend this app to anybody who is a writer.

This app is amazing. It works better than the expensive hearing amplifiers I’ve tried in the past. And the equalizer helps eliminate most background noise.…

★★★★★

I’ll enjoy this app. It’s great for hearing the tv louder than it is. You can use it to hear the sound of people, as well.…

★★★★★

It works fine!! Actually does the job! I have noise canceling headphones and sometiems I use this app if I don't feel like taking them off but still want to hear some of the outside environment, like when I'm running.…

I have never had more fun learning a foreign language, as I am having using this app. I couldn’t find any children’s books to help me learn Swahili.…

★★★★★

This is the one I keep going back to when I've deleted almost all the rest - it's the only one that's fun. That gets me past my reluctance to practice and motivated to go on with lessons.…

Who you'd be working with

I'm Eric. American-born, Birmingham-based. Army linguist, then a developer in the City, then app builder. I've been writing code since 1998, running Overpass since 2004, and I've shipped 240+ apps since 2012.

These days a crew of AI agents does the heavy lifting: the research, the first drafts, the checking. I decide what gets built, and I sign off everything that ships.

The traffic in the picture up top runs itself. I'm the one on the boat.
