✈️ Product Manager @ Elenium Automation | 🛠 Builder of small useful things

The best product decisions look obvious in hindsight. Getting there is the job.

I work on self-service and automation for airports: the kiosks, bag drops, and biometric flows you (hopefully don't) notice. Outside of work I build local-first tools that remove friction from my own day.

• 🧊 Cooldown (in progress). A calm, private companion that helps young Australians get unhooked from sports betting. Catches the urge in the moment, shows the money you're keeping, and warm-hands you to Gambler's Help. The anti-betting-app: low-arousal, anonymous-first, free for everyone.
• 📸 shot by everyone. One shared film roll for your wedding or party. Guests scan a QR sign, type their name, and upload photos and videos at full quality. No app, no accounts. Everyone browses one live private gallery, and the host downloads the lot. The digital descendant of disposable cameras on wedding tables.

• 🥁 drumroll. Public changelogs without the busywork. Pulls releases from Jira fix versions, Bitbucket tags, or Markdown in your repo, then publishes at {slug}.usedrumroll.com or embeds anywhere with a 5 KB script tag.
• 🧭 deliberate. Engineering discipline for AI harnesses. A drop-in skill library for LLM coding agents.
• 🧚 navi. Hotkey-triggered speech-to-text notes. Local Whisper transcription, Ollama cleanup, straight into Obsidian. No cloud, no subscription.
• 🛒 hagglers. Australia's grocery price watchdog. Tracks daily prices across Coles, Woolworths, and Aldi, flags fake discounts against 6 months of history, and builds a basket to find the cheapest shop. No account, ~10,000 products.

Old but shipped:

• 📄 dtaToCsv. Convert Stata .dta files to CSV. Built for a research gig years ago.

• PM who writes code on weekends, and code that writes notes on weekdays
• Python + Flask is the combo I keep coming back to
• Obsidian vault is bigger than some of the repos on this profile
• Will happily argue that the kiosk is the most underrated piece of UX in a traveller's day
• Coffee is non-negotiable; Melbourne made sure of that
