Hello, I’m Malachi.
Founder of Coverleo. Melbourne.
Most of my working life has been spent inside other people’s processes and the technology behind them. How a supplier invoice moves through the finance system to get approved and paid. How a month gets closed. Where work piles up, and where it quietly goes wrong.
I studied accounting at the University of Western Australia, then worked at Deloitte and DXC Technology across the systems that run large organisations, from finance and purchasing to operations and reporting.
I specialised in Oracle. Most people know Oracle as the software big organisations run their finances on, but it is now also one of the biggest players in AI. It builds data centres for OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, and it has built AI agents into the same finance software I worked in every day. That is where my AI work started.
Why I started Coverleo
Coverleo works process first, not AI first. Before I build anything, I map how your work moves with you and your team: where it comes in, who touches it, where it waits and where it goes wrong. Then I build around your processes, not the other way round.
Why process first? In NAB’s July 2026 survey, smaller businesses using AI rated the improvement to their operations at 4.4 out of 10. I think that’s because most either buy the tools and then try to fit their business around them, or aren’t sure how to use them properly. Neither starts with how the business actually runs. I would rather learn your business’s processes inside and out and tailor a custom AI solution to them.
What I did at Deloitte and DXC
- Led AI-driven testing for more than 40 Oracle Cloud clients. Oracle updates its software four times a year, and each client’s key processes had to be retested every time. For most of them, ten working days of testing became one.
- Ran end-to-end reviews of whole operations, from where work comes in to where it goes out. A single review found more than 80 improvements.
- Served as lead consultant for several ports and government agencies, across their whole business systems.
- Built an automated tool that tracked each client’s Oracle licence use against their subscription, and rolled it out to 15 clients. It brought them back within their subscriptions, cutting about 75 excess licences and saving an estimated A$110,000 a year. It also turned four hours of monthly checking into a click.
- Implemented Oracle’s lease module for a state government agency.
