Founder. Small Biz Operations. Building things that work.
01 — About
I'm Elliot — a founder and operator based in Canberra, Australia. I like building things that solve real problems and working alongside people I can learn from.
I built MyBinder — an iOS app for scanning, organising, and tracking bills — using SwiftUI. I also run operations and systems at Daydream Machine, a creative learning studio in Canberra that runs tailored programs for neurodivergent young people in music, arts, film, and technology. I handle payroll, business banking, CRM, and the internal workflows that keep things moving behind the scenes.
I'm not pretending to have it all figured out. But I learn quickly, I take ownership of my work, and I care about getting the details right.

My company. The main product is MyBinder — a privacy-first iOS app built with SwiftUI and SwiftData. It came from watching my dad juggle invoices, bills, and property documents across his small business and personal life. He had paperwork everywhere and no good way to stay on top of it. I couldn't find a tool I liked, so I built one — a simple way to scan, organise, and track bills, with everything stored locally on-device.
Daydream Machine is a creative learning studio in Canberra that runs tailored programs in music, visual arts, film, LEGO robotics, and technology for neurodivergent young people aged 9–21. Founded in 2022 by Luke Ferguson (2022 ACT Local Hero), the studio takes a strengths-based, student-led approach — participants have collaborated with the UN, performed at professional concerts, and engaged with government on disability policy. I handle the operational and admin side so the team can focus on what matters most: the programs and the people.
