Simon Green
SVP Workflow Engineering at Pax8. Founder at 1310. Technology leader with Linux and networking roots. I make complicated things work.
Pax8, global product pods
Rebuilt internal IT from a single region service to a worldwide, pod based, product oriented organisation. Focus on adoption, measurable outcomes, and speed.
1310, profitable and self funded
Built an ISP organically to self sustaining profitability. Engineering discipline, sensible capital, steady execution.
Automation and AI that ships
Operational AI and automation that reduces toil and improves service quality. Focus on routing, adoption, and measurable outcomes.
What I'm focused on now
I'm focused on turning AI and automation from impressive demonstrations into dependable operational capability.
That means building systems that safely change how work happens: platforms, patterns, governance, measurement, and adoption. I'm especially interested in the space between human judgement, business process, and software engineering.
Writing
A Little Japanese, Every Time You Walk Past
My wife quite liked TRMNL's Japanese vocabulary plugin, but wanted a few things changed. Building Kotoba for her has been one of my favourite uses of AI.
