02Work
Software, curriculum, platforms and programmes—shown through the problem, the decisions and the proof.
A school’s technology only works when devices, rooms, platforms, staff practice and recovery plans work together. The task was never a single repair; it was building a dependable environment around teaching.
A new senior syllabus needed more than lesson notes. Teachers and students needed a coherent path from outcomes to explanation, practice, projects, assessment and revision.
Build a broad literacy game collection that feels playful to a child while remaining predictable, correct and maintainable behind the scenes.
Long projects break when ideas, drafts, art, evidence, continuity and print constraints live in separate places. The work was to build systems that keep the whole book visible.
Prepare a family for life in Aotearoa through a learning experience that joins language, place, history and respectful practice without treating culture as decoration.
Different AI models, interfaces and media tools are useful in different ways. The challenge was to make them work as one governed local environment rather than a collection of disconnected chats.
Find the stuck part. Learn enough to understand it. Build what is missing. Leave behind something another person can use.
A01Seventeen / building in public
2003–05Under X-Calibre Studios and the Voxace handle, I built hand-coded sites, modelled vehicles, published downloadable assets and wrote tutorials while I was still at school.
A02University / industrial design
2004–07Product sketching, CAD, materials, form and environmental modelling became the visual half of my combined teaching and design degree.
A03Ivanhoe / community infrastructure
2011–12As president, I secured grant support and led the fit-out: volleyball, basketball, gym equipment, computers, AV, video games and a timber driving simulator I built myself.
A04Voxace Media / small business
2013–17I designed websites, brand systems and digital assets for small businesses, built WordPress and ecommerce sites, and supported computer builds and repairs. Fit and Fueled and Anjana Physio are two preserved client builds from that archive.
A05Robotics / fabrication / mentoring
2015–presentI ran Lego and custom-electronics robotics, CAD and 3D-printing programmes, then mentored students through a custom go-kart built from scratch: research, CAD, welding, 3D printing, testing and revision.
A06Rubik solver / commissioned in the classroom
2023I mentored two students through building, integrating and commissioning a Rubik’s Cube solver: 3D-printed mechanisms, six servo-driven manipulators, camera-based colour capture and software control. The dated test footage shows it working.
A07Spark Studio / controlled creative AI
2026I built one interface for picture and video work: formats, quality, creative mode, up to ten visual references and a page-aware assistant—enough control for serious work without exposing the machinery underneath.
A08Decision Room / collaborative planning
2026I built a planning environment that separates projects into issues, makes trade-offs inspectable, locks decisions and produces a portable handoff. The same system has been used to work through local-AI security architecture.
At seventeen I was publishing hand-built websites, original 3D vehicle renders, models, textures and tutorials.
A real small-business studio spanning client websites, WordPress, ecommerce, branding, digital assets and computer builds.
As president, I won grant support and fitted out a multi-use youth space with sport, gym, computing, AV, games and a timber driving simulator I built.
A functional C# room and resource booking application. Its public interface is an explicitly labelled reconstruction because the surviving archive does not prove deployment scale.
A whole-school feedback system spanning a web application, data import, Sentral reporting, training, procedures and posters; two other NSW schools later sought implementation detail.
A 2023 classroom AI and assessment platform with 43 quiz modules and guided feedback that avoids completing students’ work.
A private evidence system that preserves raw sources, uncertainty, conflicts and provenance across a large personal archive.
An evidence-led workspace that separates immutable sources, options, rationale, authority and the implementation handoff.
A kid-friendly image and video studio that turns a spoken idea and reference pictures into structured, reproducible media workflows.
A researched business, service and launch-site system for network-first residential technology: rural connectivity, security, storage, smart-home control and AV.
Lego robotics, custom electronics, CAD, 3D printing, a from-scratch go-kart and a commissioned six-arm Rubik’s Cube solver that completed a solve on film.
School websites, newsletters, a twelve-piece computing-history signage system, photography, video, drone capture, presentation systems and event production.
Training plans, match preparation and practical player-development systems—including a 2014 U13 grand-final side and the 2015 U14 Nines winners.
Rural access work, junior rugby league and soccer across Ivanhoe and Mullumbimby.
