I build production AI systems for businesses, and AI video that has earned 50,000,000+ organic views. A decade delivering technology for CBA, Telstra, Mastercard and AWS came first, so what I build survives real users. 100% Job Success here.
WHAT I BUILD
I design and ship AI agents and LLM applications end to end: conversational agents that answer plain-English questions over your live business data, retrieval that returns what is genuinely relevant, Claude and OpenAI wired deep into your stack with real guardrails, plus the integrations and infrastructure to keep it all running. Everything is custom built in real code (Python, FastAPI, Next.js, Postgres) with Claude as my collaborator, so it bends to exactly what you need and does not break the moment it gets complex.
I can also build you a fully self-hosted AI system that you own outright: no SaaS lock-in, no monthly platform tax, running on infrastructure you control. Set up fast and reliably, one level above the no-code crowd.
A few things I have built:
- A production Customer Success Intelligence platform for a high-value client: two specialist AI agents answering plain-English questions across their live tools, with the SQL and the sources shown under every answer, row-level security and encrypted per-client keys. It replaced about ninety minutes of manual reporting every morning.
- My own AI products running in production on infrastructure I own: a trading assistant with a daily AI market report, a tax service with an accountant portal, and a native macOS workspace for directing AI across my projects.
- A complete self-hosted cloud of 130+ containers that I designed, secured and operate myself: private by default, nightly encrypted backups, everything as code.
AI VIDEO PRODUCTION
Those 50 million views were not luck. They came from our own channels, from zero to 120,000+ followers in six months, with $0 ad spend, across US, UK and EU markets. The pipeline that did it is the one I will build for you.
I produce short-form video for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts: UGC-style product ads, talking AI avatar ads, faceless channel content, game trailers and cinematic 4K spots. End to end, from script and voice through to visuals, motion and final cut, working in Runway, Kling, Higgsfield and HeyGen.
And because I am an engineer first, I do not just make the videos. I build the content engine that makes them: a repeatable AI pipeline tuned to your brand, with volume and consistency no manual workflow can match, that your team can run without me.
ABOUT ME
I studied Bachelor of Computer Science at UTS in Sydney and graduated with Distinction. The decade that followed was enterprise delivery: technology and experience projects from A$150K to A$2M, owning budgets, vendors and timelines. Then I went hands-on as an AI-native developer who ships production software end to end, directing the work in plain language with Claude.
HOW I WORK
I start with a small, testable slice so you see real value in days, then build out from there. Clear communication, honest reporting, systems built to last. I am based in Sydney and work across US, UK and EU timezones.
If you have a real problem you want solved with AI, tell me what you are trying to build and I will tell you exactly how I would approach it. What are you working on?

A brand storyteller that’s co-written with Ban Ki-moon, met President Xi Jinping, and sailed across the Pacific Ocean on a research expedition.
___
I am a cross-cultural communicator with a background in brand overhaul, web design, e-commerce solutions, marketing, content creation, and copywriting.
I’ve switched it up from international relations GM to design specialist, following my penchant for creative communication - now I support sole traders and SMEs wanting high value work without hiring an agency.
As a GM I’ve worked alongside organisations such as DFAT (Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade), Austrade, Sydney City Council and KPMG. I bring this corporate calibre to my design work, while also balancing an easy going collaborative approach to getting things done.
My passion is refining and translating a brand identity into a cohesive set of communications inclusive of:
• Website design
• Visual and written identities
• Content and copywriting
• Logo, colour and typeface guides
• Branded templates
• Social media kits
