BUILDING
HARDENED
INFRASTRUCTURE.
13 years managing systems where downtime isn't an error code — it's a riot. I build infrastructure that treats 10x load as a baseline.
What I've built
Production deployments across AI systems, political tech, and infrastructure tools.
Experience
Self-funded R&D since 2015. Retail operations covered the burn rate.
Systems History
2013 — 2026
Axion Ventures
2020 – PresentPrivate venture studio. SPARC: 3,000+ lines, 12 agents, scaffolding from 2 days to 4 hours. ClawWarden: Rust-based AI executive assistant, least-privilege architecture. Zetto: sub-second Japanese voice AI, 75% cheaper than Gemini Live. Self-funded via retail operations — zero VC, 100% IP ownership.
MagnetLab
2025Architected the Magnet AI Agents platform — voice and chat agents that ripped manual client intake out of the workflow. Bolted SPARC across the engineering team. Build times dropped ~75%.
ALDI Stores Australia
2025Ran daily operations for a high-volume retail site. Inventory, staffing, logistics — tight margins, time pressure, no slack. Self-funded Axion R&D. Every bottleneck is a bug.
Aometry
2021 – 2024Modular Dockerized middleware platform for distributed community ops. Ripped out file-based loading, wired in manifest-driven GitHub sync. 46 stars, zero promotion. Contributors extended it without touching core.
McDonald's
2015 – 2025DirectWest Pty Ltd
99.9% uptime across 100+ POS sites. If you think your staging environment is stressful, try a Friday night rush with a cascading network failure. I've seen it. I fixed it. Monthly audits, zero unplanned outages. Final shift: filed an Auror report on a $599 ORC exploit — manual systems are always the weakest link.
Ran store P&L and logistics across a decade under margin pressure. Automated shift-swapping and labour allocation via custom Jotform platforms. Designed SOPs that scaled headcount without adding management overhead. Every dollar of margin funded Axion R&D.
Taco Bell Australia
2020 – 2022Flagship rollout. Scaled headcount by 70. Ripped 15% waste out of inventory by refactoring supply-chain logic. Two new locations launched from scratch, both on time.
Systems R&D
2013 – 2018Shipped early OSS contributions and built the visual language that became the Axion design system. Learned to code by breaking things that actually mattered. Foundation for everything since.
