Dwain Prendergast.
BSc Financial Computing
Fractional C-level advisory across regulated healthcare AI, patent-pending photonic compute, and the global music industry.
Three tracks. One operator who ships all three.
Dwain Prendergast is a founder, engineer, publisher, and artist with a 20-year body of work across regulated technology, deep-tech hardware, and global music.
- BSc Financial Computing
- CEO & 51% Shareholder — CareComply

I have spent two decades building at the seams of industries most people treat as separate. I started in code and financial computing, then launched and scaled my own music career as PR£ND¥ RichForever, and now I run three active companies while advising founders who need operators, not slides.
On the technology side, I am the CEO and majority shareholder of CareComply, the single integrated suite for domiciliary care providers that we rebuilt from five siloed subdomains into one CQC-ready platform. I am also the creator of Verity AI, a RAG compliance intelligence engine designed specifically for the regulatory realities of UK health and social care.
I am the founder of Axiom Photonics Ltd, where we have UK IPO patents pending on the MGOC-H120 — an electro-optic Pockels mesh designed to replace electron flow with photon propagation for AI inference, with post-calibration extinction performance specified under reference code AXL_SPEC_002. If you are building, funding, or buying AI compute at the edge, this track is for you.
Parallel to all of this, I have built a real music career as PR£ND¥ RichForever — recording artist, publisher, and CEO of Music Untapped ™️ and RichForever Records. I have delivered official artist websites, rights systems, and roster digital ecosystems for Dawn Penn, the Bill Withers catalog with Universal Music Publishing Group, and dancehall and reggae legends including Vybz Kartel, Gyptian, Teejay, Shane-O, Harry Toddler, and Bounty Killer. If you are an artist, manager, or label who wants work that actually ships, this is the exact same delivery team.
MaaS — Man-as-a-Service — is how I package all three tracks for fractional advisory. One seat on your cap table or retainer, three lifetimes of operating playbooks.
Three ways to work with me.
Pick the track that matches the stage your company or career is in. All engagements are delivered personally — no juniors, no handoffs.

What clients and partners say.
Direct feedback from the care sector, deep-tech investors, publishing partners, and management teams across the music roster.
Dwain walked into a chaotic five-product sprawl and gave us a single integrated suite ready for CQC inspection in a single quarter. His technical depth combined with regulatory fluency is rare.
Founder-grade domain knowledge on photonic compute architectures. The MGOC-H120 thesis is the most concrete, patent-backed electro-optic play we've reviewed at this stage — grounded in real extinction-ratio specifications.
Dawn Penn's website needed to feel classic and modern simultaneously, and Dwain delivered a responsive, fan-centric platform that tied streaming, tour, merch, and backend management together perfectly.
Six A-list dancehall and reggae acts, each with distinct brands — each site, shop, fan club, and release portal shipped on schedule, accessible, fast, and already moving merch and ticket bundles.
