I help people
harness change.
Engineer turned builder. I weaponise AI, automation, and emerging tech to hand people an unfair advantage — and to clear the noise so there’s room for what actually matters: being human, connecting deeply, and telling campfire stories worth telling.
An engineer who
builds for humans.
I’m Oz — born and built in Johannesburg, industrial & systems engineer by training. I cut my teeth on the unglamorous stuff: distribution centres, processes, the machinery that makes a business actually run. Translation — I’ve been finding the bottleneck and ripping it out since before it was a LinkedIn buzzword.
For the last decade I’ve stayed a step ahead of every hype cycle — IoT, blockchain, now AI — helping organisations across finance, mining, construction, chemicals, and media turn the buzzwords everyone’s afraid of into systems that quietly print money.
Today I run Auxo Digital, where we build AI-enabled platforms in weeks, not years. Real engineering — not a thin coat of paint on someone else’s model — built to give people their time, their leverage, and a frankly unfair edge.
Technology should make us more human, not less. I automate the noise so you get the one thing nobody can build you more of — time.
Four things I refuse to compromise on.
Build to win
Fair play is for weekend sports. Strategy decks don't move the needle — shipped software does. While the competition is still booking a kickoff workshop, you've got a platform in production. Real engineering, not a ChatGPT wrapper with a logo.
Human-first, always
I don't automate people out of the picture — I hand them an unfair advantage. Every system I build buys back time, leverage, and attention, so the humans get to do the part only humans can.
Level the playing field
Talent isn't the bottleneck — being seen is. Too many capable people lose to someone with a slicker pitch and worse work. I build the tools that flip that, so the best actually wins.
Make space for the campfire
Automate the noise and look what's left: being human, connecting deeply, telling stories worth telling. That's not a soft afterthought — it's the entire point of the machine I'm building.
Software that gives you an unfair advantage.
A studio and the products it’s spun out. Every one started as a problem someone said couldn’t be fixed fast. They were wrong.
