Discuss a mandate →Career
From engineer to founder to C-suite — across fintech, proptech, and design technology. Each role built on the one before it.
Chief Technology Officer
Leading technology strategy, platform evolution, and applied AI at scale for one of Australia's leading fintech finance brokers. Overseeing production deployment of agent-driven workflows, LLM-enabled decisioning, and the Zink platform — AI-driven real-time lender matching for dealerships nationwide. Finalist, Finnies 2026 — Most Innovative Fintech Product.
Chief Information Officer
Technology leadership for a global design platform used by millions. Responsible for platform architecture, engineering governance, information security, and operational maturity across a distributed product organisation.
CTO · Head of Engineering
Built and scaled the engineering organisation from 3 to 14 engineers in under two years, delivering the technical platform for global expansion. Introduced Agile transformation, cloud-native architecture, and a delivery discipline built for scale — in a Proptech environment where speed and reliability were non-negotiable.
CIO · Lead Software Developer
First C-suite mandate — progressed from Lead Developer to CIO within 18 months. Responsible for full-stack platform re-architecture on AWS, team building, and technical governance for a high-growth marketplace.
Founder · Lead Creative Executive
Founded and led a full-service technology and creative studio on the Gold Coast — 16 years of building software, platforms, and digital products. The foundation that sharpened every technical and commercial instinct that followed.
Thinking
Not theory. Notes from 30 years of building, governing, and operating large-scale technology systems — now applied to the agentic AI frontier.
Agentic AI
60% of Australian organisations are deploying agentic AI. 22% have governance models. That gap is a liability — and a leadership opportunity.

From 3 to 14 engineers in 24 months. What breaks first, what to fix first, and why delivery discipline is the only moat that compounds.
Coming soonProduction AI
Every production AI system I've deployed has failed for the same reason — not the model, not the infrastructure, but the operating model around it.
Coming soonI work with boards, CEOs, and executive teams on technology strategy, agentic AI governance, and engineering leadership. Gold Coast-based, available nationally and internationally.
