About the founder and the team.

As a disability support worker, I created Whats Doing after seeing the challenges my friends and clients with disability faced just trying to do everyday things — going out for a coffee, visiting a new place, or attending a local event. Through countless conversations in the community, it became clear there was a real gap: people needed a reliable, easy-to-use platform that showed them where they could go, what to expect, and how accessible a place really was. Whats Doing was built to give people more confidence, more independence, and more opportunity to be part of their community. I built Whats Doing to help people enjoy their lives.

Our team brings together a powerful combination of professional expertise and lived experience. We are made up of individuals with proven skills across technology, disability support, community engagement, and business development. Importantly, we also include people with disability who contribute real-world insight into the barriers faced every day — helping us build solutions that are practical, relevant, and genuinely empowering. This unique mix of knowledge and perspective ensures that Whats Doing is not only technically sound, but deeply aligned with the needs of the community it serves. It’s what makes us the right team to lead this mission.
