My primary focus is Premya — sovereign AI deployed on our customers’ own infrastructure. We design, deploy and manage private AI for organisations of every size: local and growing businesses, mid-market, enterprise, and regulated industries. The common thread is teams that want the upside of modern AI without sending their data to a public cloud. OpenAI-compatible, integrated with the tools teams already use, and meaningfully cheaper than metered cloud APIs at scale. We’re currently working with design partners across a mix of WA SMEs and regulated organisations in finance, healthcare, legal, government and resources.

Alongside Premya I’m building Happycloser — a voice-first AI platform for sales teams who close on the phone. Long cycles, considered purchases, conversations that matter. It listens, drafts, and handles the admin around the deal so closers can stay in the conversation. Vertical-agnostic by design. Tagline: where closing feels good.

The two ventures share a thesis. Premya is the infrastructure layer — private, owned, sovereign. Happycloser is an application built on the same principles: AI that respects data, earns trust, and ships value quickly. Same operator, same Perth base, complementary plays rather than competing ones.

Before this I spent a decade in performance marketing and SaaS through 10XR, my Perth agency — running campaigns, building tools, and watching how teams actually use technology day to day. The patterns that kept surfacing were the same two problems: businesses couldn’t safely put their data into AI, and salespeople were losing deals in the admin around the conversation rather than the conversation itself. Premya and Happycloser are what came out of paying attention to both.

I work best at the intersection of product, distribution, and execution — moving quickly, shipping the thing, refining in public. Calm, commercial, allergic to theatre.
