An independent software R&D lab in Aotearoa, following useful questions through research, prototypes, and into products that earn their place in the world.
Anphase is my independent software R&D lab, where I explore promising ideas, test them in the real world, and build the ones that prove useful.
Because useful software often starts with a stubborn question, I research the domain, pull apart the assumptions, and look for the possibility hiding inside the problem.
Ideas become tangible early. Prototypes, experiments, and feedback reveal what works, what does not, and which unexpected path is worth following next.
The experiments that survive become thoughtful, dependable software. Curiosity opens the door; careful engineering makes the result useful in the real world.
Some investigations become products. Others become bespoke systems. All of them begin with a question worth exploring.
Experiments exploring how goals adapt, bytes travel, books think, words sharpen, archives endure, documents remember, and screens come alive.
annet.ai
Living goals that remember, reason, and adapt as life changes. Annet brings your goals, the AI working around them, and the people you choose into one accountability network - with you deciding what gets shared and what happens next.
Platforms
fungawega.com
Think for yourself, a little every day. About eight minutes of patterns, estimates, numbers, and reasoning, with feedback that helps you compare your confidence with your answers.
selfime.com
Start with a guided practice and make the words your own. Follow quietly with Read-Along, record it in your voice, or simply breathe.
doculate.com
Evidence-backed document work with one versioned lineage. Every claim traces to a source; every edition can be compared.
poreover.xyz
Read closely and write clearly. Poreover brings AIReader and AIWriter together to help you question a text, develop an argument, and revise with intent. Choose how much assistance you want; the thinking and the words stay yours.
mathomaly.com
An interactive field guide to unexpected mathematics. Change the numbers or rules, compare cases, and follow a pattern through its explanation, proof, or open question.
memory.bike
Practise understanding. Start with your own explanation of an idea, find what needs attention, and test it in a different situation. Return later to see what you can still use.
ō.nz
The operating system for everything you own. A private, living map of your things, what they cost, what covers them, and who else can reach them.
answerfit.ai
Measure how AI models recommend your product, find what is missing, and re-test the same questions until you fit the answer.
svc.nz
Capability-addressable byte storage for scripts, agents, and humans. Move versioned bytes between machines with PUT and GET, without an account or SDK.
clipboardia.com
Turn everything you copy into a workspace. Capture, search, and organise locally, with review-first AI and optional client-encrypted sync.
mwenje.com
Create, schedule, and manage content on any screen. Describe airtime in plain words, update in about a second, and keep playing when the network drops.
saccader.com
Plant a thought and watch it think. Ideas become living atoms that connect, compete for attention, and grow insights together.
writingread.com
A place to write while you read. Notes go in as blocks; books, shelves, and constellations grow from them - no filing, no folders, no tending.
sayeatout.com
Thinking, digested. Say Eat Out makes the digestion of a living culture visible, turning raw signals into claims, questions, models, and experiments you can hold.
anphase.com
A home for writing about technology since 2009, restored as a fast static archive that carries original mobile-era reporting into the age of AI.
blktxt.com
A compiler for the raw, dated text you already write. blk/txt turns notes, logs, tickets, and journals into searchable entities, timelines, and metrics while your files remain the source of truth.

Harnesses for AI
Another experiment is taking shape beyond the edge of the map. It’ll surface when it has something useful and a little strange to show.
Research and prototypes also become tailored systems for real operating environments.
Comprehensive billing platform that collates call data records and transforms raw telecoms data into accurate, automated invoices. Seamlessly integrates with Xero for end-to-end financial automation.
End-to-end advertising sales pipeline for media businesses. From initial contract capture through to payment collection, every stage of the media sales lifecycle is tracked and automated.
An API-driven platform that renders data into polished visual output - from documents and reports to images and video. Elegant templates are transformed into screenshots, rendered graphics, and animated slide-based video, all at scale.
A commissioned signage editor for a client network of cafes, agencies, and bars. Full-featured canvas with text, shapes, images, and multi-font support for managing venue displays.
Part research practice and part product studio, Anphase is a one-person lab where I investigate questions, build prototypes, and ship useful software.
I investigate unfamiliar domains, emerging technology, and difficult systems to find the useful signal before deciding what should be built.
Small, focused prototypes turn uncertain ideas into something people can see, touch, test, and learn from before the stakes get bigger.
I explore where intelligent systems can genuinely help, then design them to be legible, grounded, and useful rather than merely impressive.
Promising experiments become robust products, platforms, and custom systems built to perform well and keep earning their place over time.
If you have a knotty problem, an early idea, or a research thread worth following, tell me where your curiosity has led.
