Built by someone who gets both sides
Most technologists don't understand business. Most business people can't build technology. Cognitiv was founded by someone who spent over a decade in business and five years teaching Computer Science, and now uses AI to bridge the gap faster than ever.
The journey
2007 - 2017
15 years across sales, business, and consulting
From award-winning sales at Sony and Meltwater, to small business consulting at ANZ Bank, to running a company as Managing Director. Built a deep understanding of how businesses work from the inside.
2019
Master of Education (IT & Drama)
Completed a Master of Education in Information Technology and Drama at Edith Cowan University. The ability to teach complex technical concepts simply became a core professional skill.
2020 - 2025
ATAR Computer Science teacher in Perth
Taught high school Computer Science at ATAR level with the WA Department of Education for five years. Designed assessments, curricula, and discovered the gap between data collection and meaningful feedback that led to Scorafy.
2025 - 2026
Technology lead for a European sports organisation
Led technology delivery for a fast-growing sports organisation in Europe. Used AI-assisted development to build two production web platforms, a customer data platform, analytics dashboards, and investor reporting systems in 4 months.
2026
Cognitiv founded
Launched Cognitiv to help other businesses achieve the same transformation. AI tools to build faster, operate leaner, and upskill teams along the way.
How I work
Speed over perfection
AI-assisted development means I ship fast and iterate. You get working software in weeks, not quarters.
Business outcomes first
I don't build technology for its own sake. Every decision is tied to a business objective.
Transparent by default
Fixed pricing where possible. Clear scope. No surprise invoices. You know what you're getting.
Teach, don't gatekeep
I'd rather show you how to fish than sell you fish forever. My goal is to make you self-sufficient.
