I help small businesses and startups build infrastructure and AI-powered automation that's properly managed, recoverable, and yours — without hiring a full-time team.
A Brisbane personal trainer was managing enquiries, bookings, and client onboarding entirely by hand — leads slipping through, no-shows, and hours spent on admin instead of training. I built an end-to-end automated pipeline: a redesigned website with embedded lead capture, automated follow-up emails with a booking link, calendar integration synced to his phone, and digital health screening forms sent automatically to new clients for e-signature. The entire flow runs on self-hosted, open-source tools — no per-seat SaaS fees, no data leaving Australia.
A Brisbane technology startup came to me with a single server, no backups, and no network segmentation. Over six months, I built them a three-node Proxmox cluster with automated daily backups and off-site replication, deployed an OPNsense firewall with VLAN isolation, set up monitoring across all infrastructure with team alerting, and wrote Ansible playbooks so their VPS could be rebuilt from scratch in under an hour. They now have a professionally managed, monitored, and recoverable platform — delivered incrementally alongside their operations with zero downtime.
