Felix Fowkes
Director | Automation Architect | AI Systems Builder
Building intelligent systems that help people think better, not just move faster.
Summary
-
Co-founder of TableNetwork, an international community for founders, entrepreneurs and business owners
-
I build systems that let people and businesses think more clearly, move faster, and waste less energy on the wrong work.
-
My work sits at the intersection of automation, artificial intelligence and human decision-making.
-
I design tools and workflows that remove friction, reduce cognitive load and give people back time for the work that actually matters.
-
I’m not interested in AI for novelty’s sake. I’m interested in leverage, clarity, and systems that survive real-world use.

My Work
Most of what I work on falls into three overlapping areas:
Automation that actually sticks
I design workflows that reduce manual effort and operational drag without becoming fragile or over-engineered. If a system breaks the moment someone is unavailable, it isn’t finished.
AI implementation with intent
From OpenAI-powered systems to custom tooling, I focus on applying AI where it creates genuine leverage: synthesis, drafting, analysis, pattern recognition, and learning. Always with humans firmly in the loop.
Infrastructure behind the scenes
Payments, data flows, integrations, delivery systems, internal tooling. The foundations that allow good ideas to scale without collapsing under their own complexity.
TableNetwork
At TableNetwork, I’ve been responsible for much of the technical and operational backbone of the business.
That includes:
-
Designing automation that reduced operational overhead and delayed hiring during the pre-revenue phase
-
Architecting backend systems for payments, digital product delivery, and internal operations
-
Implementing AI-assisted communication systems to improve speed and clarity without sacrificing tone
-
Training team members in advanced workflow automation
-
Overseeing financial systems and bookkeeping to ensure accuracy and resilience
The aim is simple: clarity over complexity, systems over heroics.
How I Think About AI
AI is not magic.
It’s not a strategy.
And it’s not a shortcut to competence.
Used well, it
-
Removes cognitive load
-
Accelerates learning
-
Creates space for better judgement and creativity.
Used badly it adds
-
Noise
-
Dependency
-
False confidence
My work is about staying firmly on the right side of that line.
Background
I studied Computer Science and have been building systems since my teens, including competitive robotics at a national level. I’m comfortable across software, data and infrastructure. I'm also comfortable translating complex systems into plain English.
Technically, I work primarily with Python, JavaScript, APIs, automation platforms, and modern cloud tooling.
Practically, I work with founders and teams who care less about demos and more about things working properly and achieving good results.
Outside The Code
I work remotely, travel when it makes sense, and care deeply about building tools that support good work rather than dominate it. I’m particularly interested in learning systems, cognition and the long-term effects of automation on how people think and decide.
I live in London, climb regularly with my dad and spend time learning circus skills when I’m not in front of a screen. I enjoy gaming, skiing and staying social, despite the stereotype.
