Simon Quick

I'm the lead software engineer building AI and products at Pollen. Recent work includes Clara (Webby-nominated AI health companion with 87% specialist approval and 90% recommending it to patients), PollenAI (agentic search for government and healthcare, millions of queries annually), and Rebuilt (product carbon footprint calculation for construction).

Before this, I founded Sound Shelter - a vinyl marketplace I took from zero to 100k users, handling code, product, design, and sales. Other work: founding engineer at Youcheck (Google DNI-funded, fighting misinformation with NLP), and first technical hire at HomeAway APAC before their $3.9B exit.

I write about applied AI and maintain Fetch Engines, an open source extraction toolkit. I also DJ and produce music - you can find my stuff on SoundCloud and see my recent Bandcamp purchases below.

Based in Sydney. Open to collaborations and advisory.
