## About James

- AI builder: more than a billion tokens through the OpenAI, Anthropic and Google APIs since 2022, before ChatGPT, and a live commercial SaaS shipped solo.
- Accredited workplace trainer: Certificate IV in Training and Assessment (TAE), with a decade of enterprise training delivery.
- PRINCE2 Agile certified for structured project delivery.

- Based in Sydney, Australia. Works in TypeScript, React, Swift, and applied machine learning.

## Selected work

- [Dead/Set Index](https://deadsetindex.com): A market research tool James built from a research paper he reverse engineered. He rebuilt the method, reproduced its published results against real survey data, then wrapped it in a product anyone can use: a concept in, a rigorous read out in a few minutes. Privacy and security sit at the foundation, with row level data isolation, a strict content security policy, and tiered access control. Built solo with React, Hono, Postgres, Stripe, an MCP server, and more than 1,600 automated tests on a serverless edge runtime. Live and billing.

## Also building

- iOS development: native iPhone apps built around on device machine learning, so the work happens on the phone with no server round trip. Written in Swift.
- Production systems: backend systems that mostly run themselves, with scheduled jobs, agentic automation, and dashboards on serverless edge infrastructure.
- Computer vision and hardware: smaller experiments in applied machine learning, from on device vision to cryptographic signing.
