Started on the tools.

A premium professional services partner across web, marketing, SEO, automations, software, and IT and digital security. The first paid client build is underway.

On the software side: VanticTools, a live SaaS whose suite includes a Claude-powered chatbot builder, on Stripe subscriptions; the Vantic Operations Console for partners, projects, files and invoices; and Zannen, an AI language trainer for Japanese and Simplified Chinese. The automations practice builds enquiry-to-quote pipelines, CRM routing, follow-ups, and call routing on Telnyx and Cloudflare Workers.

Security and IT systems for Melbourne businesses, specified, installed, commissioned and supported from Tullamarine. The scope runs from CCTV with AI detection, access control and alarm systems to data cabling and racks, business WiFi, audio visual, managed IT, and certified data destruction and eWaste.

I’m also developing Gentex Ironvex, my own security and access control system. It runs on the local network with or without internet, with no subscription to operate. It is in development, and not for sale.

An automotive performance and ECU tuning business, building, tuning and developing performance cars and engines to a documented standard. I specialised in RB30 engine development in the Victorian performance scene, with Haltech as the primary ECU platform for engine management and calibration.

The work included custom turbo and camshaft development and supporting modifications, with every build tested, tuned and delivered against documented results. I ran it end to end: customer projects, scheduling and delivery.

My first move into online services, built on self-directed learning and hands-on development. It produced ScraperPro, a commercial Chrome extension for lead generation with per-client licensing, kill-switch controls and Stripe payments, along with scraping and lead-generation tools for a variety of uses. It laid the foundation for what later evolved into Vantic.

Four employers, always under licensed electricians and to AS/NZS 3000. At BN Electrical I learnt the core of the trade: cable installation, conduit and fixing work, terminations, and safe use of tools and test equipment. At Appselec, installation and fault finding across Greater Melbourne, with documented handover of completed works.

At Stowe Australia I completed the practical component: fit-out on active job sites, following procedures for safe isolation, testing and tagging. My fourth year, at MAXIM Electrical & Infrastructure, was on large-scale data centre projects: power distribution and cabling for critical infrastructure, containment, terminations, and testing and commissioning, coordinating with other trades on live and active sites.
