I got flown to Brisbane to pitch the CEO of a 43-store national trade supplier. Six months earlier I was working at their warehouse in Bunbury.

I started Right On Technologies after noticing something at Samios Plumbing Supplies. Staff were spending roughly two days every week manually matching customer order codes to supplier SKUs — copy, search, paste, repeat. I built the automation in Python + Claude API + Airtable. Then I got in front of the CEO and the board of BGW Group, their parent company, and proposed a $14k pilot with a $36k/store/year rollout model across 43 stores. They liked it. It got deprioritised for now. The pipeline is still open and I'm still working it.

While that plays out, I'm running a web design agency targeting hospitality businesses across Southeast Asia — beach clubs, hostels, bars. Most small businesses have websites that look like they were built in 2014, and the owners know it. I build premium animated sites using GSAP and Vercel, and I use Claude Code to move faster than a traditional agency. The gap between what I charge and what an agency charges for the same quality is the whole pitch.

Both of these came from the same instinct: find a problem that's real, figure out if it's solvable, then actually build the solution. I'm not trying to build a career. I'm trying to build things that work.
