Most businesses know AI is important.
Few know where to start.

1

Identify

Find the real
opportunities

Not every problem needs AI. I map your operations and pinpoint exactly where it will save time, reduce cost, or unlock new capability.

2

Map

Chart the
path forward

A clear plan your team can act on. What to build, how to build it, what it costs, and what you'll get back.

3

Build

Ship it.
Fast.

AI-accelerated development means working software in weeks, not months. Fixed scope. You own every line of code.

work with me.

Every engagement starts with understanding. No cookie-cutter packages—just the right approach for where you are now.

Projects

I'm Ben Skinner. I've spent my career building production-ready software and infrastructure where the stakes are real. VFX pipelines at the UTS Animal Logic Academy and Tangent Animation, production systems for Yahoo, pipeline tools that won an Autodesk award, and AR experiences recognised internationally.

Most recently I built Magpai, an AI-powered business intelligence platform that gave non-technical teams a bird's-eye view of their operations. I know what it takes to bring AI from a demo to something people actually use every day.

The gap between what AI can do and what businesses actually need it to do is where I work. I cut through the noise and help you ship real tools that make a real difference.

I build with

TypeScript, React, Next.js, Python, Claude, GPT, AI Agents, Cloud Infrastructure

I advise on

AI Strategy, Process Automation, Product Direction, Team Upskilling, Build vs Buy
