Opportunities found, built and running

Advance Visual

Advance Visual

Signage studio · Perth

The AV Hub's Taskmaster screen: every live job and each department's workload
The opportunity
Quoting took up much of the week — handwritten sheets, scanned, then typed into Xero by hand. Then every job was typed again into monday.com, the online board they tracked jobs on.
What I built
The AV Hub — their own system for quoting, sales leads, purchase orders, job sheets and Taskmaster (every live job and every department's workload on one screen), plus a live “crystal ball” dashboard. Connected to Xero, monday.com, email and their file server.
Admin time handed back to the teamQuotes priced on their own rate cardEvery live job on one screenTheir 12-month vision, running early

“The quote platform that's been designed is so quick… and accurate.”

Legends Academy

Legends Academy

Martial-arts gym · Perth · ~400 members

The opportunity
The numbers that run the gym were spread across eight apps, reports were hand-built, and writing procedures cost Dan 3–4 hours a week.
What I built
The Legends Brain — an AI operating system on accounts Legends owns — with a live dashboard connecting Momence, Xero, Meta, Google Ads and more, plus a speak-a-procedure SOP tool.
One live view of the whole gymEight business systems connectedNew ideas built in a dayClear on which marketing brings in members

“It knows me, my culture, my values, it knows everything about Legends.”

Cash Direct

Cash Direct

Consumer lender · Australia

The opportunity
Every loan statement meant pulling two reports, cross-checking them and rebuilding the numbers by hand — about an hour of Shelley's day.
What I built
A tool that does the reconciliation automatically, applies the loan's real rules, flags anything that doesn't add up and produces a client-ready statement — run by Shelley herself.
~75% less time per statement~4 hrs/week recovered

“Ryan worked with me to identify exactly where AI could take that load off, then implemented practical, easy-to-use solutions that genuinely changed how I work.”

Background

Builder & founder
~7 years running my own businesses; now building AI systems for businesses full-time — most recently the AV Hub for a Perth signage company and the Legends Brain for a martial-arts gym. Before that, OCLA: a SaaS that runs a whole coaching business from one system, built solo, live with paying users. Running businesses is the context most AI builders lack — I build for outcomes, not features that only look good in a demo.
Operations & delivery
Nearly a decade at Advance Visual, a Perth signage company — most recently running production and installation: ~$250k/month, 30+ concurrent projects, a team of 5–6. I know how a busy shop floor actually runs.
Range, end to end
Full-stack SaaS, a rules-based data/decision engine, a custom AI media toolset (MCP server + automated video editor), and research/reporting automation pipelines — I build whatever the job needs, idea to live, not just the fun bits in the middle.
AI-native & fast
I take ideas → live with AI-assisted tooling, with the production guardrails (validation, code-not-LLM for anything numeric, tests) that keep AI reliable once real people use it.
