How I Can Help
I provide patient, one‑on‑one IT support, tutoring, and custom tool‑building for people who find technology overwhelming — the way NDIS supports health, I support tech.

- Minimalist websites & tools — Streamlined one‑page websites and lightweight web apps.
- One‑on‑one tutoring — Programming, Microsoft Office, genealogy software, and more.
- Custom automation — Let me build a small tool or script that takes a tedious task off your plate.
- Code translation & data pipelines — Moving logic between languages or transforming messy data into clean output.
- Remote or on‑site — I work with clients across Victoria and beyond; remote support available worldwide.
“Together, let’s turn ideas into reality. Reach out to start your journey!”

My Philosophy
Technology should work for people, not the other way around. I approach every problem as a chance to listen, solve, and teach — patiently and without jargon.
“Where possible, focus on things that are worthwhile.” — Andrew Kingdom
“The fallback rule of systems success: always use the best tool for the job. Build tools to survive tougher jobs than anticipated and to fail safely when they break.” — Andrew Kingdom
“If a lack of effort isn’t the problem, more effort is not the solution. If we want to achieve more, we often need to do less.” — Jessica McCabe
