Organisations I've worked with
Still copying and pasting between systems that don't talk to each other?
Automations
Your systems talk to each other, so nobody copies and pastes between them. One team went from working until 10pm in their busiest month to knocking off at 5.
AI agents
Software that drafts your emails, quotes, replies and reports. You check them, tweak them and hit send.
Training
Hands-on sessions so your team keeps using what's built and can change it themselves.
Security audits
Find out where your data goes and what's exposed, then close the gaps.
It starts with one job you hate, or one that takes too much of your time.
A free 30-minute audit. We map what your team does each week and find the jobs that drain them.
A proposal. You get a plan for the first fix and a fixed monthly price.
I build it, then the next one. Your team starts using it, and I move straight on to the next job on your list.
One monthly plan. As many jobs as you like.
From $5,000 a month + GST, fixed before anything starts. Add jobs to the list whenever you like and I'll build them one at a time, because each fix should be finished and in use before the next one begins. When you're ready to stop building, maintenance and security audits are from $500 a month + GST.

Technical Builds
Automations
Custom automations built to remove the redundant, manual tasks that drain nonprofit teams. I have been building automations since my time at Edgar's Mission and have seen firsthand the impact they have when staff are freed up to focus on meaningful work. Examples include media monitoring systems that automatically track organisational mentions and log journalist details, donation workflows that identify high-value gifts and trigger immediate phone calls and personalised email sequences, and inbox automations that categorise and sort incoming emails by topic. Primarily built on Make.com with native integrations across CRMs, email platforms, spreadsheets, and more. Thousands of hours of manual work saved across organisations.

I've lived it. I know the problem, and I know how to fix it.
For 13 years I worked at Edgar's Mission, an animal sanctuary caring for around 400 animals at a time, where even sending an email came below everything else. No software was built for a place like that, so I built the systems myself, and they kept running after I left.
Since then I've run more than 200 AI workshops on four continents and made training videos with OpenAI for their nonprofit academy. I set things up so you don't need me forever. You'll always know your business better than I do.

For nonprofitsQuestions
Do we need to know anything about AI?
No. You know your business. I turn the busywork into tools your team can just use, and show them how.
Will AI send things to our customers on its own?
Only if you want it to. By default, AI drafts and a person approves anything that reaches a customer or costs money.
Who owns what you build for us?
You do. The tools and your data belong to your business, and you keep them if we stop working together.
What happens to our data?
I check where it goes before I build anything. Sensitive information can stay on Australian servers or on hardware you own.
What if you're unavailable?
Everything I build lives in accounts your business owns, with written notes on how it works, so another developer could pick it up.
Can we meet in person?
Yes. I come to businesses in Kempsey, Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour. Everywhere else, we meet by video.
What's the job your team hates most?
Tell me in a free 30-minute audit, in person on the Mid North Coast or by video. You'll leave knowing what to fix first, even if you end up building it yourself.
