About

Operator, engineer, founder.

I was an operator for ten years before I was an engineer. 350+ short-term rental properties, and at one point one of Australia's top 30 Airbnb operators. I built a commercial cleaning company and sold it to a national operator, and ran commercial laundry, laundromats, and villa management in Bali.

Now I write the software I wanted back then. STR tools with Claude built in, direct-booking sites, MCP servers on top of Hostaway, agent workflows. Seven products are live, including an iOS app and Meta Ads tooling.

I live in Adelaide and spend a lot of time in Bali. I take short engagements with operators and founders who want someone who has run the business, not just built the software.
