Roger at his desk

About me

Builder. Engineer. Founder.

I'm Roger. I build things with code, ship them fast, and write about what I learn along the way.

I run Axislabs, a portfolio of AI-powered SaaS products. I'm also CTO & co-founder of Thoroughbreds.ai, where we're bringing AI to the thoroughbred racing industry.

My background is full-stack engineering: Next.js, TypeScript, Python, and whatever else gets the job done. These days I spend most of my time at the intersection of AI and product development. I'm interested in what happens when you treat AI agents as first-class team members, not just tools.

I'm based in Australia. When I'm not coding, I'm probably thinking about coding. Working on it.

What I write about

  • Building AI-powered products (the real stuff, not the hype)
  • Shipping SaaS as a solo/small-team founder
  • Engineering decisions and trade-offs
  • The founder journey, unfiltered
