Our work.
Real systems, built hands-on and run in production: from moving a company off a single server to training neural networks on its data, and the products we build for ourselves.
At Cloudless Labs: Client work since 2019.
- 01 Off a fragile VPS and onto AWS, with almost no downtime An Australian agriculture-technology company with a large IoT sensor network · Agriculture technology A growing agtech platform ran on a single server that could neither scale nor be secured. I moved all of it to AWS, live, with almost no downtime, then rebuilt it to scale.
- 02 Cutting an AWS bill from US$240k a year to under US$40k An Australian agriculture-technology company with a large IoT sensor network · Agriculture technology · In progress An agtech platform was paying about US$240,000 a year for AWS. The programme under way takes it under US$40,000: roughly US$200,000 a year back in the business, for the same workload.
- 03 Real-time ingestion for a national farm-sensor network An Australian agriculture-technology company with a large IoT sensor network · Agriculture technology Thousands of field devices reporting around the clock, processed as the data arrives instead of hours later, on infrastructure that scales with the network.
- 04 Deep neural networks that forecast the weather An Australian agriculture-technology company with a large IoT sensor network · Agriculture technology Machine-learning models and deep neural networks, trained on the company's own sensor data with GPUs on Amazon SageMaker, to predict the weather where its customers farm.
- 05 From legacy ASP.NET and stored procedures to Node.js on serverless An Australian agriculture-technology company with a large IoT sensor network · Agriculture technology A legacy stack of ASP.NET, C# and slow SQL stored procedures, modernised into Node.js on serverless AWS: faster, cheaper to run, and something a modern team can work on.
- 06 Admin panels and analysis that made a company's data readable An Australian agriculture-technology company with a large IoT sensor network · Agriculture technology Internal tools and admin panels that let staff see and act on the company's data, built after analysing how the business really worked and removing the waste first.
- 07 Wealth-management tools that predict returns and test portfolios An Australian financial planning firm · Finance Tools for a financial planning firm to track clients' wealth, project returns, and compare strategies against market indexes, balanced portfolios and rebalanced ones.
- 08 Reaching users where they already are, on WhatsApp and Telegram Client projects · Technology Integrations with WhatsApp and Telegram, so a system can talk to its users in the messaging apps they already use, and the hard-won lessons about which platform fights you.
Our products and research: What I build for myself, and use every day.
- 09 HappySkills, the package manager for AI agent skills Our product · AI developer tools My own product: a registry and CLI that gives AI agent skills what code has had for decades, dependencies, a lock file, sync and team sharing, all driven by talking to your agent.
- 10 switch-profile, open-source AWS account switching with SSO Open source · Cloud developer tools My open-source CLI for working across many AWS accounts: one keystroke to switch, IAM Identity Center done properly, device-code logins on headless boxes, and a contract AI agents can follow.
- 11 Crypto market analysis and an automated trading bot Personal research project · Finance Quantitative research on crypto markets and an automated trading bot built on it: market data, signals, back-testing and execution, around the clock.
Before Cloudless Labs: Where the hard lessons came from.
- 12 An e-commerce platform built from scratch in California A US e-commerce startup based in California · E-commerce As director of technology at a US e-commerce startup, I built its platform from the ground up and led teams in Australia and India: checkout, discounts, refunds, US sales tax and APIs that scale.
- 13 A CRM whose biggest customer was DHL A CRM startup · Enterprise software Part of a startup building its own CRM, with DHL as its biggest customer: some of the most complex business logic I've worked on, at the scale of a global logistics company.
