How I work

Advice first. Software second.

The goal isn’t to add AI to your business — it’s to remove work from your day. One person the whole way through: no hand-offs, no team of strangers, no PDF that leaves you to do the hard part alone.

  1. 01 Consult Free

    A free first call. I learn how your business actually runs — the calls, the quotes, the admin that quietly eats your week.

  2. 02 Diagnose

    I find and price what’s slowing you down, and hand you a plain-English plan — biggest wins first. Yours to keep, whether or not I build it.

  3. 03 Fix

    I put it in place — an off-the-shelf tool, a custom build, or the right mix. Whatever solves it for the least to run.

And here’s the part most won’t do — I build the fix myself, move you onto it, train your team, and stay while it beds in. I run two of my own products for paying customers, so I don’t just ship and vanish.

Track record

A real career behind it.

Years shipping production software inside real companies — most of it lately with AI at the centre — plus two of my own products in front of paying users.

    Shipped AI to production fast for an industrial safety-and-compliance company — a live safety-monitoring agent and a plain-language site assistant among them.

    Software Engineer · Nirovision

    Built the systems that connected a security product to the accounting and payroll tools its customers already used, and automated their billing.

The person you’d actually be working with

Before software I was a professional jazz drummer — a Bachelor of Jazz Performance from the Sydney Conservatorium, the James Morrison Jazz Scholarship, a podium finish at the Australian National Jazz Awards, and albums reviewed in the Sydney Morning Herald. What that taught me: theory only matters when it actually changes what happens in the room. You’d be working with one real person who picks up the phone — not a sales team, not an offshore shop, not someone who vanishes after the invoice clears.
