AI · Automation · Marketing - built, not just advised
Strategy is cheap. I build the systems that actually run.
I help businesses put AI and automation to work - and I don't stop at the slide deck. I build and ship the systems, moulded around the tools you already use, plus the marketing, websites and lead capture to go with them.
The differentiator
Automations that mould around your tools - not the other way round
You've already paid for your CRM, your accounting, your website, your spreadsheets. I connect and automate around them so information flows on its own, instead of asking you to throw it all out and start again. The result is less manual work, fewer errors, and systems that fit how you actually operate.

Two things most consultants won't do
I build it, not just recommend it

From plan to shipped
- RoadmapThe honest plan of what's worth doing
- BuildI actually make it - agents, flows, sites
- HandoverDocumented, monitored, yours to keep
Most consultants hand you a strategy and walk away. I map what's worth doing, then build and ship it - and it moulds around your existing tools instead of forcing a rip-and-replace.

Honest by default
- Your toolsI build around what you already pay for
- The right fitI'll tell you which tools you actually need
- No lock-inYou own everything I build
I'm not quietly incentivised to sell you a particular platform. I'll tell you honestly which tools you need - and which you can drop - and if a process should be fixed before software touches it, I'll say so.
How I think about itWhat I do
Strategy and the build, from one person
Most consultants hand you a slide deck and leave. I map what's worth doing, then actually build and ship it - AI, automation and the marketing around it.
Find the work worth automating - before you spend a dollar building
A short, hands-on review of how your business actually runs. I map your processes, data and tools, then hand you a prioritised, costed roadmap of exactly where AI and automation will pay off - and, just as honestly, where they won't.
- Process & workflow audit
- Opportunity map
- Tooling & data review
- Costed roadmap

Sales & Marketing Automation
Turn more leads into customers without hiring more people
From first click to signed customer: lead capture, nurture sequences, follow-ups, scoring and reporting that run themselves. I build the marketing engine - websites and landing pages included - and wire it into your CRM so nothing slips.
- Lead capture & landing pages
- Nurture & follow-up sequences
- Lead scoring & routing
- Campaign reporting
AI Agents
Put a capable AI assistant to work on the jobs nobody has time for
Custom AI agents and assistants that draft, answer, summarise, research and triage - grounded in your own data and wired into your tools. Built with a human in the loop where it matters, so they save time without eroding trust.
- Customer-facing assistants
- Internal copilots
- Grounded on your data
- Human-in-the-loop design
Operational Automation
Delete the manual, repetitive work quietly draining your team
The copy-paste between systems, the re-keying, the chasing, the reports someone builds by hand every week - automated end to end. I build the flows that move information for you, so your people do the work that actually needs a person.
- Workflow automation
- Data entry & sync
- Document & report generation
- Self-hosted options
System & Data Integration
Make the tools you already pay for finally talk to each other
Your CRM, your accounting, your website, your spreadsheets - connected so information flows automatically instead of being carried by hand. One source of truth, fewer errors, and no more asking which system is right.
- API & webhook integration
- Single source of truth
- Website & tool integration
- Data cleanup & migration
Secure AI Implementation
Adopt AI without handing your data to someone else's cloud
For teams in regulated or sensitive fields: AI and automation implemented with privacy, security and governance built in from the start. Private and self-hosted models, clear data boundaries, access controls and an audit trail - so you can say yes to AI with confidence.
- Private & self-hosted models
- Data boundaries & governance
- Access control & audit
- Compliance-aware rollout
Marketing, Websites & Lead Capture
The whole marketing engine - site, campaigns and capture - built and running
Not just automation: the marketing itself. Fast, modern websites, landing pages, lead magnets, email and social campaigns, and the lead-capture systems behind them - designed to bring the right people in and, with automation doing the follow-up, actually convert them.
- Websites & landing pages
- Lead capture systems
- Email & social campaigns
- SEO & AEO foundations
How much is manual work costing you?
Pick your industry and a role, set three numbers, and see the figure - most businesses find it uncomfortable.
1. Select your industry
2. Pick the role losing the most time
Typical manual tasks for a store / operations manager
- Reconciling orders across store and marketplace
- Updating stock levels by hand
- Chasing suppliers and tracking shipments
3. Your numbers

The honest difference
What you get that a slide deck can't give you
The build, not just the plan
I ship working systems - AI agents, automations, websites - moulded around the tools you already use.

I help businesses use AI and automation to remove manual, repetitive work - and I build and ship the systems myself, not just advise. That spans AI agents, workflow and operational automation, system and data integration, secure AI for sensitive data, and the marketing around it: websites, landing pages, lead capture and campaigns.
Both. I do the strategy and the execution. I map what's worth doing, then actually build it - and it moulds around the tools you already use rather than forcing a whole new stack.
No. I have no preferred vendor - I have a preferred outcome: yours. I'll tell you honestly which tools you need and which you don't, and build around what you already have wherever it makes sense.
Both. Alongside the automation I build websites, landing pages and lead-capture systems and run campaigns - then wire automation into them so the follow-up runs itself.
It can be. For sensitive or regulated work I implement AI with private or self-hosted models, strict data boundaries, access control and audit trails - so your data never has to leave your environment.
Usually with a short AI readiness assessment: I look at how your business runs and hand you a prioritised, costed roadmap of where automation will actually pay off. You keep it whether or not you build with me.
It depends on scope, but most builds are measured in weeks, not months. A single automation or AI agent can often be live in a couple of weeks; a bigger integration or a full marketing engine takes longer. I'll give you a realistic timeline up front.
I quote per project once I understand the scope, so you know the number before anything starts. Common shapes are a fixed-price assessment, a defined project build, or an ongoing support retainer. No surprise invoices.
No. I'm based at 11 York Street in Sydney and happy to meet in person, but I work with clients across Australia and remotely worldwide. Most of the work happens online either way.
From solo operators and small teams up to established companies. The common thread is a business losing real time to manual, repetitive work - the size that matters is the size of the problem, not the org chart.
No. You own everything I build, it's documented and handed over, and there's no lock-in. Plenty of clients come back for more because they want to, not because they have to.
That's exactly what a first call is for. I'll give you an honest read - sometimes the answer is 'fix this process first' or 'you don't need software for that yet'. I'd rather tell you that than sell you something you don't need.
