About
I am a Melbourne product leader and engineer. Two startups, two exits. My specialty is going zero to one.
VenueSafe
I built VenueSafe during COVID from idea to acquisition by me&u (formerly Mr Yum) in 6 months. Stayed two years, helped scale me&u to 15M+ users, and supported the US expansion in Austin, TX.
Fingertip
Then I co-founded Fingertip with Olly Hoffman and the founders of Catch and Menulog. We scaled to tens of thousands of small businesses globally before Fingertip was acquired by Linktree.
AI at Linktree
Now I'm on AI at Linktree, building agents for creators and their audiences.
The Blode Stack
On the side I build the Blode Stack: open-source tools including Blode UI, Blode Icons, the Glide typeface, and DiffHub, a local diff viewer for reviewing cmux and agent-written code. Agents can read any page as markdown, or start at /developers for the MCP server and OpenAPI spec.
Experience
My journey building products that scale to millions of users and helping businesses grow.
