Hire
I design it, architect it, and build it. The person you brief is the person making the trade-offs, shaping the system, and shipping the work.
That matters when the brief crosses product, interface, and engineering at the same time, or when the work is important enough that you cannot afford translation loss between roles.

Clients usually bring me in when an AI system needs to become a real product, a platform needs clearer architecture, or a delivery needs senior execution without another layer between decision and build. I work across Australia, and I’m most useful when the thinking and the implementation need to stay tightly coupled.
AI strategy & implementation
RAG, agents, MCP servers, prompt architecture, inference pipelines.
Technical leadership
Architecture, code review, hiring, and the judgement that keeps delivery technically coherent.
Design engineering
Design systems, component libraries. Figma to production in the same brain.
Delivery & governance
Scope, handover, review loops, and the guardrails that keep the work dependable after launch.
Day rate
I join your team. Your tools, your cadence, your standups. Principal-level engineering from inside the organisation, not outside it. Two-week minimum.
Project
You know what needs building. I scope it, price it, build it, hand it over. Fixed cost, clear scope, no ambiguity about what done looks like.
Executive
A principal engineer on call without the permanent headcount. Architecture review, code quality, technical direction. From four days a month.
Tell me what you’re building.
The problem, the timeline, the budget range. I’ll come back with whether I can help and what it would look like.
