About JohnnyDev
I’m Johnny — a Melbourne-based developer and consultant. I help local businesses use AI in a practical, controlled way: reducing manual work, connecting the systems they already use and building custom tools only where they genuinely add value.
Background
Years of Building Business Systems
My background spans the technology that runs day-to-day business operations:
- Web development
- CRM integrations
- Analytics and tracking
- Marketing technology
- Business automation
- APIs and software integration
- WordPress
- Shopify
The Transition
Why AI Automation
After years of building websites and connected business systems, I saw that the greatest opportunity was not simply adding more software. It was helping businesses use AI to reduce manual work and improve existing processes.
That is where AI is genuinely valuable — not as a novelty, but as a way to remove repetitive work from the systems a business already relies on.
