Built by Builders
SCAINET is founded on the belief that the best software comes from those who understand the problem deeply—not just the code.
Chief Builder
Simon brings a unique combination of enterprise leadership and entrepreneurial grit to SCAINET. After 15 years in senior roles at one of Australia's Big 4 banks, he transitioned to the startup world—founding and joining early-stage ventures across multiple industries.
SCAINET represents the culmination of this journey: applying enterprise-grade discipline to AI-native product development, with the agility of a founder who's built from zero before. In February 2026, Simon filed 5 provisional patents with IP Australia protecting the core innovations of HumAIn OS — the platform vision he authored for Human-AI enterprise collaboration.

That software is still used by every mortgage broker in Australia today—13 years later.
Co-founders
Paul Lewis
Co-founder & CTO
Paul brings a rare combination of formal academic depth and hands-on engineering experience to SCAINET. Holding degrees in both Psychology and Computer Science — the latter completed with a GPA of 6.83 — he pursued Honours in Psychology before being awarded a research scholarship, a foundation that continues to shape how he thinks about human-AI interaction at its core.
After years working across major government agencies including the ATO, Centrelink, and the NDIA, Paul made a deliberate pivot into technology in 2021, driven by a growing conviction that psychology and software engineering were more complementary than the industry recognised. He went on to complete an internship and graduate software engineering role at a defence intelligence company, before moving into freelance development and independent ventures.
That infrastructure passion became a defining thread. Paul developed a disciplined focus on DevOps practice, workflow automation, and continuous improvement — earning his CompTIA Network+ certification along the way. It is this combination — rigorous systems thinking informed by behavioural science — that makes his contribution to SCAINET distinct.
Jon Geracitano
