Builder · Zero-to-one
I’m Michael. I’ve been making digital stuff for the past 15 years across tech, media and finance. Currently leading AI enabled care at Sonder.
About
I like building the thing that doesn’t exist yet — then getting it into people’s hands. Founding-team member of an ASX-listed scale-up, co-founder of an exited startup, and the first hire on more than one zero-to-one product.
I’ve built a marketplace that did $3M+ for 100+ Australian farmers, an onboarding product that brought 10M+ people to The New York Times, and re-launched the Canva developer platform that a wave of AI-native businesses now run on. I go deep with the teams that make the thing — engineers, designers, researchers — not from a distance.
Still happiest with my hands on the tools. When I’m not shipping at work, I’m prototyping, modelling and breaking things on purpose — a few of which are below. Based in Marrickville, Sydney.
Lately
Occasionally I write up something from a recent side-quest.
