Background

About Simon Giles

I'm a technology enthusiast and avid entrepreneur. My latest venture, DocuBuild, is an AI-powered platform revolutionising information management for construction engineering projects. As thousands of documents change hands throughout a building's lifecycle, critical information is lost, leading to cost overruns, delays, disputes, and suboptimal operation. DocuBuild captures, organises, and makes all information instantly accessible exactly when, where, and how it's needed, tailored to the radically different needs of various end users. Previously I've worked as a UX designer and product designer, so I have deep empathy for the end user. Despite my day-to-day role as COO I endeavour to be inovolved with client discovery meetings, user testing sessions, and product teams daily standups. Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to work with some of Australia's biggest brands like Telstra, Qantas and Tourism Australia. I've founded multiple companies across a variety of technology verticals including finance, music, gaming, e-sports, and blockchain. Based in Sydney and travelling often. I'm always eager to chat about technology, construction engineering, heavy machinery, UX, startups, cinema and spaceflight.
