About
I'm Jeremy Dawes — Jez to most people. I run Jezweb, a web development agency in Newcastle, Australia. I've been building websites and web applications for over 25 years.
For the last two years, I've been focused entirely on AI. Not the hype — the practical stuff. Voice agents that answer phones. MCP servers that connect AI to accounting systems. Full-stack applications on Cloudflare that replace expensive enterprise software.
I work primarily in Claude Code, from the terminal, often from my phone. The gap between what's possible with AI right now and what most people understand is enormous. I spend my days in that gap, building things that actually work.
The Longer Version
I started in computer repairs. A friend asked me to build them a website. Then another friend. Then I realised the demand was real and founded Jezweb in 2007.
For 17+ years, I built thousands of WordPress sites. Grew a team. Served 3,000+ clients across Australia.
Then AI happened. Not the chatbots-that-don't-work AI. The real thing. Claude. Claude Code. Models that could actually build software.
I went deep. I learned to build MCP servers. I deployed ElevenLabs voice agents on client websites. I built a complete CRM from scratch on Cloudflare's edge infrastructure. I published data products on the Snowflake Marketplace.
Now I'm an AI Engineer as much as a web developer. The tools have changed everything about how we build software.
The Human Stuff
I'm based in Newcastle, NSW, Australia. When I'm not at a keyboard, I'm mountain biking on the single track trails around Mt Sugarloaf, or walking my dog Panda through the nearby bush.
I compete in local mountain bike orienteering events. I'm not the fastest, but I'm doing okay.
I believe in building things that work, charging what you're worth, and not suffering people who expect you to be their charity. 17 years in business teaches you that.
