The stack I reach for

About

Operator, builder, founder.

I was an operator for ten years before I started building software. Over that time we managed 350+ short-term rental properties and became one of Australia's top 30 Airbnb operators. We sold the business to Hometime, and it now runs as Hometime South Australia. I've also run commercial laundry, laundromats, and villa management in Bali.

Now I write the software I wanted back then. STR tools with Claude built in, direct-booking sites, MCP servers on top of Hostaway, agent workflows. Rentalstack is in early access, there's an iOS app on the App Store, and four of my tools are open source.

I live in Adelaide and spend a lot of time in Bali. I take short engagements with operators and founders who want someone who has run the business, not just built the software.
