I'm a network and systems engineer based in Melbourne, with over twenty years building and automating the infrastructure that cloud, network, and AI systems run on — architecture, security, virtualization, and the automation that ties them together.

Lately my focus is autonomous agent tooling: open-source systems that take well-scoped engineering work and turn it into reviewed pull requests. I've founded two companies, hold an EU patent, and still enjoy the wire-level detail as much as the system design.

At Breadcrumb I work across Azure, network architecture, and security as part of a Scrum team. On my own time I ship CodeLegion and the FinTech products behind AKx Fintech.

Expertise

What I work on

A small set of things, gone deep — not a long list.

01

Cloud & Infrastructure

Azure and AWS architecture, networking, VNet/NAT, and automation that provisions and tears itself down.

02

AI & Machine Learning

Gen-AI agent systems and ML-driven solutions, from prototype to something a team can actually run.

03

Networks & Security

Network and system architecture, UTM and firewall management, and security hardening built over two decades.

04

Full-stack & FinTech

TypeScript/Node and Deno services, REST APIs, and the FinTech products I design and ship as a founder.
