Hardware Product & Production

I take security hardware from schematic to a shipped unit to a live site that has to work at 3am.

Founder at Bravis Intelligence, co-founder at Cuvoe, and part of a security integration business that has been running for twenty years. Mostly I'm interested in the gap between something that works on a bench and something a stranger can install on a Tuesday.

What I'm working on

Rollout
Turning a five-unit hospital duress pilot into a full-campus rollout. The pilot was never the point — it's the proof that the manufacturing holds up.
Manufacture
Getting the key-management product out of trials and into repeatable production. Serial-level traceability from the factory floor to the site.
Gate
Ten sites live before we go hard on sales. A deliberate confidence gate. Demand isn't the constraint; reliability at volume is.
Building
Cuvoe, with Nina — wiring a team's own knowledge into the AI tools they already use. Built it for our business first, then found other people had the same problem.
Off the clock
Training, travel, and reading more about investing than I currently act on.

Selected work

Deployments, not case studies.

duress / hospital

Hospital duress network

Paid pilot across a major Queensland hospital network — wireless duress where running cable through a live ward isn't an option. Scoped for full-campus rollout.

Health · Pilot → rollout

perimeter / industrial

Industrial perimeter monitoring

Gate and perimeter state on a site where standard sensors fail — misaligned gates, chain padlocks, no cable path. Installed and reporting.

Industrial · Installed

tender / corrections

Corrections facility tender

Retrofit over the existing cabling rather than a rip-and-replace — the reason the numbers work at all. Early scoping and technical response.

Government · Scoping

key control / trials

Key management trials

Multi-site trials of the key safe, including an attended-mode flow for high-security facilities. Manufacturing ramp running in parallel.

Security · In trials

Ventures

Three businesses, one thread.

How I work

Opinions I've had to pay for.

Ugly prototypes, in the field, on day one.

The constraint on shipping isn't engineering hours — it's calendar time spent proving reliability. A finished product still needs months in the field before anyone will buy a thousand of them. So concepts go out raw: wrong enclosure, oversized battery, rough firmware. The clock starts immediately instead of after the industrial design is signed off.

Sales are the filter, not the roadmap.

Ten raw concepts go out. The sales team reports which one customers actually react to. Only that one earns refinement. It is much cheaper to be wrong ten times in a plastic box than once in tooling.

Products over services.

A services business trades hours for money and stops the day you do. The product division exists to outgrow the integration business that funds it. The blocker was never demand — it's confidence in manufacturing at volume, which is where most of my week goes.

If it routes through me, that's the bug.

I'm the bottleneck in my own business, and I track it deliberately: what came through me, and how much of it someone else could have done. Every runbook I write is trying to make the second number bigger.
