AI automation & integration · SEO and AI visibility · Perth, AU

I build software, and I make it findable by people and AI assistants.

Two services. I ship full-stack products. And I run search and AI-answer visibility for client sites, measured against ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity.

How I work

Whenever I build something, I automate the checking of it. Every change runs through tests that catch a mistake before it reaches a live site, and they stop the release outright, so a problem gets fixed instead of noted and forgotten. It is slower to start and cheaper to run.

Open source

Claude Code plugin. Saves a handover when a session gets long, so the next session after /clear picks up the goal, next step and decisions. A 15-session build used 91.0M tokens against about 565.6M as one long chat.
