As the Owner and CEO of Space Games, I led an innovative startup that aimed to demonstrate the potential of space technology by running Minecraft tournaments from a server placed in space. 

During my tenure, I successfully built a vibrant community of Minecraft enthusiasts, assembled a dedicated team, developed and launched a Minecraft server, and conducted a groundbreaking demo by launching the server into the sky on a model rocket while actively playing Minecraft. 

This unique project showcased my ability to blend technology, gaming, and space exploration in an unprecedented way.

Shiny Button Pty Ltd

IT Consultant turned eCommerce integrator. For the last 15 years I’ve been helping large companies like banks connect their systems so they don’t have to waste time on needless tasks. Over that time I am sure I have saved countless hours and frustration. One day someone asked if I could do that for their eCommerce business and I said sure, not realising that what we will do is massively reduce her admin time by connecting her systems together.

By connecting her sales channels, warehouse and wholesale systems to her ERP system, we are able to keep her stock levels up to date to reduce the number of oversells. We get the orders from the sales channels to the warehouse within minutes so they can be shipped faster. Keeping the order status up to date is helping keep customers happy as they know exactly whats happening with their order.
 
We are helping eCommerce businesses everywhere to un-complicate their IT systems and making manual processes like exporting and importing files between systems a thing of the past.
