About

I'm Simon, a developer based in Brisbane, Australia. I build micro-SaaS products that solve the "last mile" problem between AI-generated content and professional output.

The Thesis

AI generates content easily. Turning that content into professional, print-ready, brand-compliant artifacts is still hard. That gap is where I build.

"AI output → brand-safe, workflow-ready artifact"

Products like DeckEngine and TriFold PDF sit downstream from Claude and ChatGPT, handling the deterministic formatting work that AI tools do poorly.

Background

Before going solo, I spent 20+ years in enterprise IT—primarily in Queensland Government and healthcare. Program management, governance, technical architecture, and a lot of recovering troubled projects.

Selected highlights:

  • Recovered a $5.2M healthcare system from RED to GREEN, delivering six clinical labs live with zero downtime
  • Led implementations affecting 17,000 staff and 28,000 clients across aged care and disability services
  • Managed state-wide system upgrades for Queensland Health (PACS, Vaccine Management, iPharmacy)
  • PRINCE2 and MSP Practitioner certified
  • Bachelor of IT (Software Engineering), Griffith University

Organisations include Children's Health Queensland, Metro North Health, UnitingCare Queensland, Gold Coast Health, and Queensland Treasury.

Now I apply that systematic thinking to building software products. Small, focused tools that do one thing well. Ship fast, validate, iterate or kill.

Open Source

I also maintain tools that make Claude Code more useful:

  • teax — Gitea CLI extension for issue management, CI/CD, and bulk operations
  • ha-cli — Home Assistant CLI for states, logs, templates, and service calls

These aren't products—they're infrastructure. Built to solve my own problems, shared in case they solve yours.
