Healius / ForHealth 7-Eleven & Hubbed Chimu Adventures NSW Government Family Doctor

Healius / ForHealth: multi-network platform for 80+ GP clinics, managed the PE carve-out handover. 7-Eleven / Hubbed: four-party program across 7-Eleven, Hubbed, Swipbox and CI; stepped in as interim product lead for Hubbed pre-CTO hire. Family Doctor: designed a payment product resolving a GP payroll-tax liability issue.

Also currently designing and building GANI Pay, a live payments platform on Australia's NPP/PayTo rails, built solo end to end.

What I Can Help You With

Three areas. Scoped projects only.

Fast turnaround. Fixed price agreed up front. You own everything from day one: code, documents, strategy.

01

Bespoke Development

From idea to working product, in days not months.

You have a problem that software could solve: an internal tool that's outgrown what it was built for, a manual process eating your team's time, or something new you've been putting off because agencies quoted a fortune and a timeline you didn't believe. I design and build fast: working product you can use, test, and iterate. No ongoing dependency, no retainer.

Good fit for: an internal tool that's outgrown itself, an internal team stretched too thin to take on a new build, or a proof-of-concept you need fast.

Go-to-Market & Product Strategy

Clear thinking on where to play and how to win.

You have a product or service and aren't sure how to position it, price it, or get it in front of the right people. Or you're an offshore business entering Australia and need someone who understands how decisions actually get made here. I don't write decks that sit in a drawer. I help you decide, then act.

Good fit for: early-stage founders, offshore companies entering Australia, businesses launching a new product or channel.
"He is an innovator and demonstrates a real passion for technology. Incredibly pragmatic, calling things as they are, a trusted partner who reads situations extremely well and ensures outcomes and expectations are clear." David McLean, CEO, Hubbed

Payments Flow & Optimisation

Stop overpaying to take money from your customers.

Most Australian businesses pay more than they need to on payments: the wrong terminal setup, no surcharging strategy, or missing cheaper real-time options entirely. Online businesses often carry an over-engineered stack or the wrong gateway. I'll review how you take payments today, show you where you're losing money or creating friction, and give you a clear recommendation, or implement it.

Good fit for: retail and hospitality operators, ecommerce businesses, anyone spending meaningfully on payment processing fees.

How It Works

No surprises, no lock-in.

Scope call

30 minutes. You tell me the problem. I tell you if I can help and roughly what it would take.

Fixed proposal

A short document: what I'll deliver, what it costs, how long it takes. No surprises.

Delivery

I build or advise. You review. We close it out.

Handover

Everything is yours: code, documents, strategy. No dependency, by design.

Common Questions

Before you book the call.

What does "scoped project" actually mean?

Before anything starts, you get a short written proposal: exactly what I'll deliver, what it costs, and when it's done. If scope changes along the way, we talk about it before I proceed. No surprise invoices.

What does an MVP actually include?

A working product that solves the core problem, not a mockup, not a slide. Something you can use, test, or put in front of customers. We agree on exactly what that means before I start.

Who owns the code and the work?

You do, completely and immediately. I don't retain any rights to what I build for you: no ongoing licence fee, no dependency on me to keep it running.

Do you take on ongoing support or retainers?

Generally no. I work in discrete, scoped projects with a clean handover. If light post-delivery support is genuinely needed, we agree a defined period upfront rather than an open-ended retainer.

What kinds of businesses do you work with?

Across the board: healthcare, government, logistics, travel, fintech. The common thread isn't industry, it's needing technology, GTM, or payments expertise done properly and fast.

How quickly can you start?

Depends what else is in motion at the time. The fastest way to find out is a scope call. It's 30 minutes, no obligation, and I'll tell you honestly if the timing doesn't work.

Tell me the problem. I'll tell you honestly if I can help.
