In 2015, I landed in Sydney with just $3,000 AUD in my pocket, a student visa, and no English.
No network. No safety net. Just a stubborn belief that I could figure things out.
Over the next 10 years, I built a digital agency from scratch – growing it from freelance projects into a $1M+/year business with a team spanning Australia, India, and New Zealand. Today, I’m in the middle of negotiating an acquisition with a global player, scaling our work into enterprise eCommerce, POS, and marketing automation.
But the journey wasn’t linear. Far from it.
A Decade of Lessons (and Mistakes)
Before and during EUX Digital, I tried (and failed) with more than a few ideas:
- Slackify – a Chrome extension to track Slack time usage.
- Pet Commitment = a marketplace for responsible pet ownership.
- mMailMetrics – an email productivity tool that never quite found its market.
- Snowpassport – a physical passport with augmented reality to track your ski trips.
Each one flopped in its own way. But each one taught me something: how to build, how to sell, how to pivot, and when to walk away. Those lessons became the foundation for improving EUX – and eventually products like TopSMS (our SMS marketing SaaS).
What I Do Now
I’m a technical founder and CTO with a knack for:
- Being Resourceful → I know how to take the tools, systems, and people at my disposal and combine them in creative ways to solve unique challenges.
- Custom Development & Integrations → WooCommerce, Shopify, Salesforce, POS, CRMs, payment gateways.
- Scaling Teams & Systems → taking messy processes and turning them into documented, scalable workflows.
- Coaching & Mentoring → helping other agency owners and entrepreneurs avoid the financial and operational mistakes I made.
In short: I solve complex problems at the intersection of tech, operations, and growth.
What I’m Building Next
This site is my personal playground. Here’s what you’ll find here:
- My Story → raw reflections from building, scaling, and selling.
- The Course → how I went from $3k and no English → to a $1M/year agency → Acquisition → Scaling → Exit
- Coaching & Fractional CTO → direct support for agency owners and founders who need technical and operational firepower.
- SaaS Experiments → small, focused products built from the friction points I’ve lived through.
Why I Share All This
Because I know how lonely and confusing this game can feel.
When I landed in Sydney, I would have killed to read a real account of what it takes – the mistakes, the near-bankruptcies, the wins, not only that but to have a mentor or a coach to support me through the journey.
So that’s what this site is: my unfiltered playbook.
If you’re an agency owner, founder, or builder trying to navigate your own version of this journey, I hope it helps.
