I Built the Pipelines.
Now I'm Fusing Safety into What Flows Through Them.
For 15 years, I designed integration architectures for Australia's critical infrastructure—Defence recruitment platforms, national emergency warning systems, banking systems, and utility operations.
Then enterprises started connecting autonomous AI agents directly to those pipelines.
For the first time, software wasn't just processing data—it was making decisions.
And nobody had built the circuit breaker to prevent catastrophe.
So I'm building it.
AI Circuit Breaker.
Autonomous Governance.
Fuse proven circuit breaker safety into modern AI governance
The Problem I'm Solving
I spent 15 years building the digital nervous systems for organizations where failure is not an option:
Department of Defence
Secure recruitment platforms and integration hubs (NV1 clearance required). Presented solution designs to Defence Architecture Review Boards.
Bureau of Meteorology
Redesigned the National Tsunami Warning System. Sub-second latency requirements—lives depend on uptime.
Banking & Finance
SAP integrations for Commonwealth Bank and Coal LSL. Payments remediation and global integration projects.
Utilities & Infrastructure
Event-based payment architectures, hybrid AWS-Azure integrations, SCADA integration patterns for critical services.
In 2024, I watched enterprises connect autonomous AI agents directly to those pipelines—with no circuit breaker.
Why FuseGov Exists
Just as electrical fuses protect circuits from overload, FuseGov fuses safety controls into AI governance—stopping misaligned actions before they cause damage.
An AI agent doesn't know that DROP TABLE is valid SQL but catastrophic business policy.
It doesn't understand that deleting production resources on Friday afternoon violates change control—just like a circuit breaker doesn't care if "high current" is intentional.
It doesn't recognize that rapid SCADA setpoint changes can cause physical equipment damage—the AI equivalent of electrical overload.
The gap: Every security tool governs what autonomous systems can do.
Nobody governs why they're doing it—the semantic intent behind the action.
I looked for a universal circuit breaker for AI. It didn't exist.
So I'm building it.
The FuseGov Metaphor
Electrical Fuses:
- ⚡ Protect circuits from overcurrent
- ⚡ Trip immediately when limits exceeded
- ⚡ Don't care if overload is "intentional"
- ⚡ Prevent catastrophic equipment damage
- ⚡ Deterministic, boundary-enforced
FuseGov (AI Fuses):
- 🤖 Protect systems from misaligned actions
- 🤖 Block immediately when intent drifts
- 🤖 Don't care if action is "technically valid"
- 🤖 Prevent operational/regulatory damage
- 🤖 Boundary-enforced, real-time governance

My Background
For 15 years, I've operated as a Solution and Integration Architect for Australia's most sensitive sectors. My career has been defined by one obsession: Reliability through proven safety patterns.
I haven't just written code—I've designed the digital nervous systems for organizations where failure is not an option. Now I'm applying those same circuit breaker principles to autonomous AI.
Current Stage: Solo Founder MVP
What I've Fused Together:
- Filed comprehensive patent applications (December 2024) - 75 pages covering universal governance architecture, two-stage enforcement, and cryptographic evidence
- Designed two-stage circuit breaker - Deterministic fast-path (<5ms) + Semantic veto (<300ms bounded timeout)
- Documented 19 endpoint types - Cloud APIs to SCADA to trading systems, all protected by boundary-only evaluation
What I'm Building:
- AWS API sidecar MVP - First circuit breaker for autonomous cloud operations (8-week build, target: February 2025)
- Design partner deployments (Queensland mining, utilities, universities) - Real-world validation of circuit breaker governance
- Technical whitepaper - "The Authenticity Layer" published with measured performance benchmarks
How I'm Funding This
Intelligrate Pty Ltd is my enterprise integration consulting practice. For 15 years, I've been paid to design secure, scalable integration architectures for Defence, government, and utilities.
This consulting work provides three strategic advantages:
- Cash flow runway - I'm not racing against a funding deadline
- Customer access - My consulting clients are FuseGov's design partner pipeline
- Real-world validation - The problems I'm solving come from actual enterprise deployments, not hypotheticals
I'm building FuseGov the way Basecamp built Basecamp: profitable consulting funds product development until the product funds itself.
Why Solo (For Now)?
The honest answer: I haven't found the right co-founder yet—and I'd rather be solo than have the wrong co-founder.
I'm a technical architect who can design systems, write code, and ship product. I've been doing this for 15 years. I know I can build and deploy the MVP alone.
But I'm realistic about what I can't do alone at scale: enterprise sales, marketing campaigns, and rapid multi-endpoint feature development all require a team.
Looking for:
Technical co-founder or early engineer with distributed systems, security, or cryptography background. Experience shipping production infrastructure. Willing to work from Brisbane or remotely in Australian timezone. Aligned on bootstrap-first strategy.

Circuit Breaker Governance at the Boundary
FuseGov sits between autonomous systems and critical endpoints—just like an electrical fuse sits between power and equipment. I don't monitor conversations. I govern actions.
1. Intercept
Autonomous system requests an action (delete DB, modify infrastructure, change setpoint)—boundary interception
2. Analyze
Two-stage circuit breaker: Deterministic fast rules (<5ms) then semantic intent veto (<300ms bounded)
3. Decide
PERMIT, BLOCK, TRANSFORM, or QUARANTINE—with degraded-mode fallback if semantic check times out
4. Prove
Cryptographically verifiable Cognitive Telemetry Record (CTR) with configuration binding—court-grade evidence
Intellectual Property Protection
Filed comprehensive patent applications in December 2024 covering two-stage circuit breaker architecture, degraded-mode control, and cryptographic evidence generation.
Direct competitors (Zenity, Airia) have no patent protection despite significant VC funding.

Built in Brisbane. Solving Real Problems.
Queensland is home to some of Australia's most complex autonomous system deployments—mining operations, energy utilities, agricultural technology, and research institutions.
These industries don't need another AI chatbot monitor.
They need circuit breaker governance that understands physical safety, operational continuity, and regulatory compliance.
