Builder · Zero-to-one

I build things I want to exist.

I’m Michael. I’ve been making stuff for the past 15 years across tech, media and marketing. Currently leading AI enabled care at Sonder.

psst — the good stuff is down here

I like building stuff I think has real value by solving a real problem.

Sometimes that’s just for me (see: the projects I talk about on this site), sometimes its with crazy ambitious founders (see: Canva, Sonder), and sometimes its for big companies (see: New York Times, Commonwealth Bank of Australia). Before that I started an ad agency with some friends, briefly thought I’d be an academic, and was one of the earliest employees at NEXTDC (back in the good old days when normal people barely knew what a data centre was).

If you’re a dev in Sydney, chances are you’ve seen my mug around when we re-launched the Canva developer ecosystem. If we haven’t met and you’d like to work together, get in touch.

Occasionally I write up something from a recent side-quest.

Say hello.

Drop a note below and I’ll get back to you.
