What I build

§ 01
01 — Integrations

AI & LLM integrations

Bringing Claude and other language models into products and workflows — summarisation, extraction, classification, chat and agentic features, wired into your existing stack and shipped safely.

02 — Tools

Custom AI tools & automation

Internal tools and automations that remove the repetitive work: content pipelines, data processing, research assistants, and the glue between the systems you already use.

03 — Apps

AI-powered web apps

End-to-end builds — from idea to live product. Fast, modern front ends (Astro, Next.js), a real backend (Supabase, Cloudflare), and AI where it genuinely earns its place.

04 — Advisory

Prototyping & advisory

Quick proofs of concept and a straight answer on what AI can and can't do for you yet — so you can spend on the thing that works, not the thing that demos well.

Recent work

How I work

§ 03

I've spent twenty-eight years in the web industry — starting as a designer and ending up a studio manager and developer. Day to day I'm at Meta Digital in Christchurch; in my own time I build AI tools and products, several of which are linked above.

That means you get two options from one conversation. For focused, spare-time builds — an integration, a prototype, an internal tool — you work with me directly. For anything larger or ongoing, I can bring in Meta Digital's full studio: design, development and delivery, with the AI work handled in-house.

Either way it starts the same: a short chat about what you're actually trying to do, and an honest read on whether AI is the right tool for it. Get in touch →
