Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSūryanāga Poyzer is a multidisciplinary app developer and service design leader with 12 years of experience delivering human-centered digital services across government, non-profits and the Buddhist community. He has led high-profile transformation programmes — including redesigning the Help to Buy service at Homes England and contributing to the GOV.UK Design System and GovWifi at GDS — and has a track record of turning complex policy and organisational challenges into usable services. He founded CauseHub, scaled it to an 8-person agency serving clients like Amnesty International, and has repeatedly combined product, fundraising and brand strategy to raise significant support for causes. More recently he has applied those skills to digital systems and communications work for Triratna-aligned organisations, building websites, CRMs and donor tools that cut administration and improve engagement. Known previously as Sanjay Poyzer, he adopted the name Sūryanāga when joining the Triratna Buddhist Order, reflecting a personal commitment that informs his collaborative, values-driven approach to design. Based in London, he brings systems thinking, hands-on delivery and cross-sector leadership to mission-driven technical projects.
