/ about

A regular mind, following the thread.

I'm Will. I write, I build, and I try to understand things, usually in that order, sometimes all at once. I design all of it myself too, the logos, the interfaces, the brands, artistic by nature, logical by practice. My work moves between books, software, finance, data, and the quieter project of staying well enough to keep doing it all.

  1. Stage 01/ ledger

    Diploma of Finance (Accounting)

    The first credential. Learned the grammar of value early, how money moves, how organisations breathe, and how to read a business from its books.

  2. Stage 02/ trade

    Electrical Apprenticeship

    Years later, swung in the opposite direction, tools in hand, 7 days a week for 12 months. Public holidays and sick days the only relief. Longest single stint: 56 days straight. Ceded only when the opportunity to continue ran out.

  3. Stage 03/ science

    Bachelor of Biomedical Science

    Back to the books, anatomy, physiology, biochem, the systems that keep us upright. The hard-science foundation that still shapes how I think about health, data, and human performance.

  4. Stage 04/ clinic

    Radiology tickets · medical school interviews

    Radiology certifications and interviews for a rural medical-school pathway. A door that closed for reasons of circumstance, not capability, and redirected everything that came next.

  5. Stage 05/ operate

    Finance · Operations · Projects

    Over a decade in finance, now leading finance, operations, and projects at a multi-brand consumer-health business. Multi-source, structurally messy, the exact terrain that fostered the love of building software.

  6. Stage 06/ build

    Coding, Data Stitcher, Globies, internal tools

    Shopify add-ons, accounts-receivable automation, client-management tooling, data management layers. Data Stitcher got its legs as the first serious answer to a business no off-the-shelf tool could cleanly handle.

  7. Stage 07/ write

    The Albron Series · Athmyra

    Currently writing the Albron series, fantasy for young adult readers, set in the world of Athmyra, co-developed over years with family and a long-time collaborator overseas. Long-running worldbuilding, finally taking book form.

/ current chapter

Senior Manager by day, builder by everything-else.

I lead finance, operations, and project delivery at a multi-brand consumer-health business, the kind of operation with multiple brands and data sources that no off-the-shelf product handled cleanly. That gap is where Data Stitcher started: a real answer to a real mess. From there it generalised into a suite, and into tools like Globies.

The internal builds keep stacking up, Shopify add-ons, AR automation, client-management tooling, data plumbing, the kind of work that's only boring until you see what it unlocks for the people who used to do it by hand.

/ philosophy

Old questions get sharper, not duller, as the tools change. I read across politics, science, ethics, and the strange edge where they meet.

/ design

Every logo, interface, and brand across my work is designed by me. Artistic by nature, logical by practice, the drawing and the architecture come from the same place.

/ code

Software as a craft, small tools that respect the people using them. The Data Stitcher suite and Globies are where most of this lives.

/ writing

The Albron series for young adult fantasy readers, set in the world of Athmyra, co-built over years with family and a long-time collaborator overseas. Non-fiction and children's health science alongside it.

/ health

Daily training, semi-fasting, protein-led. Built for longevity, not for posting numbers.
