Work with me

Consulting and project work now happens through my company, Shincro Tech: fractional CTO for startups, rescuing and launching AI-built apps, and custom software done properly.

I'm a software engineer and IT generalist with 20+ years experience based in Adelaide, South Australia. I build, fix, and maintain systems across the full stack, from application code to servers and infrastructure. I specialise in the problems other people don't want to touch: legacy platforms, complex integrations, and systems that need someone who actually understands how everything connects.

Ventures

Companies I've founded or co-founded along the way:

• Shincro Tech (founder & owner): my consulting company. Fractional CTO, app rescue, and custom software.
• Koi (co-founder): ecommerce platform.
• CCFuse (co-founder): the company behind RespectPlay.
• Hologrid (co-founder): wound down, plenty learned.

Experience

• Development: Ruby (Rails), PHP (Laravel), JavaScript (Vue, AlpineJS, NodeJS)
• Infrastructure: Linux server administration, networking, DNS, firewalls
• Cloud: AWS (S3, CloudFront, Lambda, EC2), GCP
• DevOps: Docker, GitHub Actions, monitoring, backup & disaster recovery
• Mobile: iOS & Android (native & cross-platform)
• Data: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, DynamoDB, Elasticsearch

Why Me?

• 20+ years across development, infrastructure, and operations
• End-to-end delivery: from architecture to production to ongoing support
• I work independently and take full ownership of the problem
• Specialising in the work other people won't touch
