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

Axion Ventures

2020 – Present
Founder & Lead Architect Current
Oct 2020 – Present

Private 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

MagnetLab

2025
Lead Software Engineer (AI Systems)
Mar 2025 – May 2025

Architected 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

ALDI Stores Australia

2025
Site Operations & Logistics Current
October 2025 – Present

Ran 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

Aometry

2021 – 2024
Systems Architect (Open Source)
Jan 2021 – Mar 2024

Modular 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

McDonald's

2015 – 2025

DirectWest Pty Ltd

Operations Technology Lead
March 2024 – October 2025

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.

Assistant Business Manager
August 2015 – February 2024

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

Taco Bell Australia

2020 – 2022
Site Operations & Logistics
June 2020 – June 2022

Flagship 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

Systems R&D

2013 – 2018
Open Source & Design Research
2013 – 2018

Shipped 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.
