About

I'm a CTO and software developer in Perth, and these days I'm building two products of my own. Polytask gives businesses AI staff for their back office, and SupplyWise helps food and drink wholesalers take orders, get paid and track stock without all the admin.

I've spent most of my career leading engineering teams, including 6 years at VGW where I went from senior engineer to CTO, and then as CTO at icetana. I care most about shipping quickly without letting quality slip, and in my experience the simplest solution usually gets you there.

My leadership style comes from working with my Dad in the family coffee shop. It was busy, often with lines out the door, but it ran like clockwork because the team worked hard and had a lot of fun doing it. I've tried to build that same culture in every tech team since.

I write about AI, startups and building software here. If you're working on an interesting problem, or just want to chat about any of this, get in touch.
