Solution Architect · AI Engineer · Sydney, AU
Systems drawn to last. Intelligence built in.
Sixteen years of enterprise engineering for Fortune 500 banks — now taking select commissions: AI solutions, SaaS products, apps, and the middleware between.
A senior pair of hands, from blueprint to production.
I take on work where deep experience actually matters — the architecture calls, the hard integrations, the AI that has to survive real load.
Architecture & Technical Consulting
System design, API-first architectures, and modernisation strategy for teams that need a seasoned hand on the blueprint before they build.
AI Solution Engineering
Agentic workflows, RAG pipelines, and production-ready GenAI integrated into real enterprise systems — auditable and reliable, not demos.
Fractional & Freelance Development
Full-stack delivery across Java, Node, React and React Native. I build, ship, and own the parts that are genuinely hard.
MVP & Prototype Builds
From idea to a working product. Fast, pragmatic builds that let you validate with real users before you invest in scale.
Things I've designed and built.
Enterprise platforms, applied AI, and side projects shipped on my own time.
NDIS AI Lead Generation
An AI voice agent that phones new NDIS provider leads minutes after sign-up — qualifies them in conversation, checks live calendar availability, and books the meeting itself. Deployed to dev for client evaluation.
HubSpot–Odoo Integration Middleware
Event-driven middleware keeping HubSpot CRM and Odoo ERP in sync — signature-verified webhook ingestion, idempotent async processing, circuit breakers and retries, with Prometheus + Grafana observability. Live on Azure.
Bushwise — Field Navigation App
A navigation app built for hunters in the field — offline-ready mapping and route guidance designed for the outdoors, where connectivity can't be assumed.
Canberra Honey
A small-batch ecommerce platform helping a local beekeeper sell direct — a clean storefront and simple operations for a maker who'd rather tend hives than fight software.
AI-Driven Research & Analysis Platform
A retrieval-augmented system that reads across large document sets and synthesises answers with structured, traceable outputs — built as a hands-on lab for production-oriented AI patterns: orchestration, latency, and error handling.
Client testimonial — coming soon.
Sixteen years, mostly under load.
A track record built on high-volume, regulated systems — and the judgement that comes with keeping them running.
Leading data and AI architecture at consulting scale — bringing enterprise engineering discipline to Generative AI systems designed to reason, integrate, and deliver measurable ROI.
Designed and delivered enterprise-scale digital banking platforms across the Westpac Group, St.George Compass and Open Banking. Led SOAP-to-REST modernisation and built the Galaxy Payment Switch POC — awarded for innovation and productised.
Owned Java automation frameworks as a first-class engineering platform for Westpac's mortgage origination and servicing system. Led and mentored a 15-person offshore team.
Built Java payment-processing services and reconciliation engines for Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota, progressing from junior developer to technical lead.
Understand
I dig into the real problem and its constraints — the business, the load, the edge cases — before a line of code gets written.
Architect
A clear, scalable blueprint: API-first, observable, and built for whatever you'll want to add next — including AI.
Ship
Production-ready delivery with the reliability and operational rigour that mission-critical systems demand.
I'm a Sydney-based solution architect and AI engineer. For sixteen years I've designed and delivered high-volume systems for some of the world's largest banks — the kind where downtime isn't an option and the audit trail matters.
Today I split my time between enterprise architecture and building things of my own: apps, SaaS, and AI solutions for people who want a seasoned pair of hands rather than a big agency. If you have a hard problem worth solving, I'd like to hear about it.
Let's build something.
Primarily taking freelance commissions — but open to an exceptional full-time role. Say hello.
