My Experience

Services.

AI engineering and automation consulting for Brisbane & Gold Coast teams.

Whether you need to test an AI opportunity, automate an internal process, connect business systems or build a production-ready AI product, I can help design the workflow, build the software and get it into the hands of your team.

AI agents & internal assistants

Custom AI agents that understand your business context, connect to your tools and help your team complete real work — with permissions, audit logs and guardrails where needed.

RAG & knowledge systems

Searchable internal knowledge assistants using vector databases, retrieval pipelines and carefully designed prompts so your team can ask questions across documents, policies, projects and customer data.

Workflow automation

Automations that remove repetitive admin, connect disconnected tools and turn manual steps into reliable workflows across your CRM, spreadsheets, email, databases and internal systems.

Salesforce & system integrations

Salesforce development, API integrations and reporting pipelines that bring sales, operations and customer data into one usable workflow.

Custom AI software

Production-ready AI features and applications built with modern web, backend and cloud infrastructure — from MVP through to scalable internal or customer-facing products.

Mobile app development

Native and cross-platform mobile apps for iOS and Android — built with Swift, Kotlin or React Native — designed, shipped to the App Store and connected to the same backends, AI features and business systems as the rest of your stack.

Works.

An open-source macOS menu bar app that tracks your Claude, OpenAI and Gemini subscription limits in real time. It reads the credentials your local CLIs are already signed in with — no API keys — and shows usage bars, plan badges and live reset countdowns. Everything runs locally.

FAQ.

Frequently asked questions.

What does an AI engineer consultant do?

An AI engineer consultant helps businesses design and build practical AI systems, including AI agents, workflow automations, RAG knowledge assistants, integrations and custom software. The focus is on turning business problems into reliable systems that teams can use every day.

Do you work with Brisbane and Gold Coast businesses?

Yes. I'm based on the Gold Coast and work with businesses across the Gold Coast, Brisbane, Queensland and Australia. Most work can be delivered remotely, with local strategy and implementation support where useful.

Can you help us work out where AI should be used in our business?

Yes. The AI audit is designed to review your workflows, systems and data, then identify practical opportunities where AI agents, automations or custom software could save time, improve visibility or reduce manual work.

What kinds of AI systems can you build?

Common projects include internal AI assistants, document search and RAG systems, Salesforce automations, customer support workflows, data pipelines, reporting automation, agentic workflows and AI features inside existing products.

Do you only provide advice, or can you build the system too?

I can do both. I can help with strategy and roadmap work, but my main value is designing and building the actual software — from prototype to production-ready internal system or customer-facing product.
