About

I'm a technical leader and hands-on builder with 12+ years as a trusted technical advisor to enterprise customers - running discovery, defining architecture, and personally writing the production code. I'm spending my days building AI-native applications: voice interfaces, agentic systems, coaching platforms, intelligent automation. Currently building Clinara, an AI voice platform for aesthetics clinics. I work the full arc: idea, architecture, production code, and the commercial model that turns it into a business. Blending technical and commercial skills is what I'm best at. In 2021 I co-founded Comet CX, a 20-person Sydney based Salesforce and tech consultancy delivering CRM, data, and integration programs for major Australian businesses. That work has given me a front-row seat to the problems AI can actually solve and the hard, unglamorous work required to deploy it responsibly at enterprise scale. What excites me most right now is how radically AI-native development changes what's possible. Context engineering and modern tooling mean I can build in a day what would have taken months a year ago, and that pace is only accelerating. I intend to stay at the frontier of that, building real systems and helping others do the same. Always happy to connect with people thinking about or building in AI.
