Useful things I’ve built.
18 experiments, products, and ventures. Some shipped, some taught me what to build next; all started with a real problem.
FEATURED_012023–2026Communiti LabsA founder retrospective on turning fragmented community feedback into defensible evidence—and learning why meaningful product impact did not sustain the company.Co-founder / CEO / product / engineeringWound down / retrospectivePROJECT_022026–presentWP FlameA self-hosted performance flight recorder for dynamic WordPress, turning bounded request traces into explainable evidence—and a focused commercial software business.Founder / product / engineeringPre-release / design partnersPROJECT_032022–presentFerguson LivestockA Murray Grey cattle stud and farm-direct beef venture built in Snake Valley, combining farm operations, decision-support software, brand, commerce, and fulfilment.Co-founder / operations / brand / product & engineeringActive venturePROJECT_042020–presentHelping GroupA social-impact organisation born during Australia's Black Summer, creating practical digital services that help communities respond, connect, and recover together.Founder / president / engineeringActive initiativePROJECT_052026ChefA meal-planning application prototype distilled into two conversational Agent Skills with transparent Markdown memory.Creator / product / full-stack & AI engineeringApplication prototype archived / Agent Skills 0.2.0PROJECT_062026Murray Grey AusA purpose-built digital home and herd book for Murray Grey breeders, replacing fragile WordPress infrastructure with a fast, field-ready platform.Product design / full-stack engineeringLive client platformPROJECT_072026SimpleXLA local-first desktop workbench for importing spreadsheet data, inspecting its structure, and answering practical questions with read-only SQL.Creator / product / engineeringUnreleased / active developmentPROJECT_082026SlipspireAn original, swipe-driven ice-sliding puzzle game for mobile—built as a creative reset and a return to the game mechanics that first drew me into computer science.Solo creator / game design / engineering / art directionUnreleased / active developmentPROJECT_092026StudListA free Australian cattle marketplace for advertising livestock, genetics, equipment, hay, and services without the fees of larger platforms.Co-creator / product / engineeringActive marketplacePROJECT_102025WaitAMinuteA privacy-conscious Chrome extension that adds configurable friction before distracting websites, turning an automatic visit into a deliberate choice.Creator / product / extension engineeringOpen-source prototypePROJECT_112023AirproxyAn edge-first cache and proxy that made Airtable practical as a production backend without inheriting rate limits, attachment constraints, or operational fragility.Co-founder / product / engineeringArchived productPROJECT_122022Mates MotivateA social accountability MVP for setting a goal, building a visible check-in streak, and inviting trusted friends to encourage the work.Founder / product / engineeringArchived MVPPROJECT_132022ObserverA service-monitoring prototype that warned small teams before customers did, tracked recovery, and turned infrastructure anxiety into an operational signal.Founder / product / engineeringPrivate-beta prototypePROJECT_142022yFocusAn early idea-validation concept for turning a promising thought into a clearer problem, a testable assumption, and an informed decision about whether to build.Product concept / prototypingConcept prototypePROJECT_152020–2022Swin LeadA student-led leadership community that gave Swinburne's thinkers, builders, and organisers a place to share their work, find collaborators, and learn in public.Early co-creator / community & productCommunity platformPROJECT_162021GuardianA privacy-first COVID exposure-warning prototype that kept location history on-device while checking it against rapidly changing public exposure-site data.Creator / product / full-stack engineeringArchived prototypePROJECT_172019Land IndexA GovHack geospatial prototype combining soil, rainfall, water, and proximity data to make agricultural land value visible in planning decisions.Team CeRDIfy / software & dataGovHack proof of conceptPROJECT_182016Balance BoardA Year 12 systems-engineering prototype combining force sensing, custom electronics, and Raspberry Pi software to visualise standing weight distribution.Design / electronics / software / fabricationCompleted VCE prototype
