Find where AI matters in your business.

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.

Fast.

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

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

Agents, apps, websites, backend, frontend, spatial content—basically anything.

I advise on

AI Strategy, Product Engineering, Product Design, Process Automation, Team Upskilling, Build vs Buy
