Work

Things I’ve built

A selection of products I have founded, designed, engineered, and shipped. The common thread is simple: start with a real problem and stay close enough to see whether the solution works.

The Human Archives

thehumanarchives.com

A series of limited-edition garments that connect physical design with digital archives of history and culture. Each chapter is limited to ten pieces and opens, via an embedded NFC chip, into research, 3D scans, animation, and interactive material.

The project asks how physical objects can carry history, context, and meaning—not just a logo.

Explore the details & technology
  • Founded the project and built the product, brand, store, and archive experience.
  • Released ten chapters and sold approximately twenty pieces.
  • Replaced Shopify with a custom commerce platform built on Next.js, Supabase, and Stripe.

Octomate

octomate.au

Octomate helps businesses automate work that is repetitive, manual, and stuck between disconnected tools. Our first product turns inspection photos and voice notes sent through WhatsApp into annotated, approval-ready reports.

Explore the details & technology
  • Designed around the field team's existing WhatsApp workflow.
  • Combines photo and voice input, image annotation, report generation, and human approval.
  • Built to reduce reporting time without asking supervisors to learn another system.

Personal AI System

A personal operating system that connects my calendar, tasks, messages, health data, and project context. It handles recurring work, keeps a persistent memory, and gives me one place to see what needs attention.

Explore the details & technology
  • Works across Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, and Facebook Messenger.
  • Uses scheduled jobs and ten custom modules to manage recurring workflows.
  • Used daily, so product decisions come from real failures and real utility rather than a demo script.
