Welcome to
Sugarolly Mountain
Practical AI guidance and IT expertise from someone who has spent 30+ years translating complex technology into clear, usable knowledge, for individuals, teams and organisations ready to work smarter.
Technology Made Usable
I'm Kieran McCluskey, an IT consultant, AI mentor, published author and app developer based in Perth, Western Australia. I've spent over 30 years helping people and organisations cut through technical complexity and actually get things done.
My background is rooted in writing applications and technical training manuals, which means I've always had to understand technology deeply enough to explain it simply. That same skill now drives how I approach AI mentoring and development work.
Whether you're an individual trying to make sense of AI tools, a small business exploring automation, or a team that needs practical IT guidance. I work alongside you with clarity, honesty and no unnecessary jargon.
