Hi, I'm Jacob. I work in the sports tech industry, helping sports teams and leagues connect with their fans through data and technology. I'm passionate about learning and constantly pushing myself to develop new skills.

I help organisations use data and technology to enhance fan engagement and grow audiences. With expertise in onboarding, strategy, and campaigns, I deliver results and build strong client relationships. I am not actively seeking new roles.

I have worked with some of the biggest sports properties across Australia, New Zealand, and Asia, developing a deep understanding of the business of sport. My experience spans fan engagement, digital marketing, sponsorship, and broadcast, with a focus on delivering innovative, strategically minded solutions.

I specialise in sports governance, focusing on best practices for national sporting organisations. My research examines governance practices, board composition, and dynamics, aiming to provide insights that help administrators implement effective strategies aligned with societal expectations.

Hi, I'm DJ Jacob Colangelo. With over 10 years of DJing experience, I've performed at clubs, festivals, sporting events, weddings, and balls, delivering unforgettable moments. I've supported national and international touring artists and played shows across Australia, bringing energy and expertise to every set.

Projects

Digit Automation

This is my current venture, digit automation, an early-stage company focused on transforming businesses through the power of Artificial Intelligence and automation. digit automation aims to partner with organisations to provide cutting-edge solutions designed to streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and ultimately drive growth in today's competitive landscape.

Our core services include:

  • AI Strategy Consulting: Helping businesses identify high-impact opportunities and develop a clear roadmap for successful AI integration.
  • Automation Implementation: Designing and deploying custom automation solutions to optimise workflows and reduce manual processes.
  • Data Analytics & Insights: Leveraging data analysis to unlock valuable insights that inform better, faster decision-making.

Currently, most of my spare time is dedicated to establishing digit automation. Being an early-stage venture, the process of setting up the core business operations, defining service offerings, and building initial momentum requires considerable focus and effort.

DJ Jacob Colangelo

What began as a self-taught hobby spinning tunes has evolved over more than 10 years into an amazing journey behind the decks. I've gone from learning the ropes on my own to playing for crowds of over 10,000 people, which has been an incredible experience. My background covers a huge range of events: nightclubs, festivals, big sporting events, weddings, and formal balls. I've had the privilege of supporting both Australian and International touring artists, and have played gigs right across the country.

  • Over 10 years DJing, starting from a passion project.
  • Played everything from clubs and festivals to sports events, weddings, and formals.
  • Supported national and international touring acts.
  • Performed in WA, TAS, VIC, and NSW, covering both metro and regional areas.

Due to significant external time commitments, my current DJ availability is selective. For nightclub events, I primarily consider opportunities requiring extended sets currently (minimum 3 hours). Separately, I undertake a limited number of private functions, such as weddings or engagement parties, typically for personal acquaintances.

This Website

The idea for this personal website first came about back in 2018. I kept trying to get started, but the task of learning web development seemed monumental each time I attempted it, so it never quite got off the ground. That changed during a career break when I challenged myself to finally get a site up and running within a month.

My initial version was created using Squarespace – it was very visual, but I soon realised it didn't offer the flexibility I wanted for customisation. Plus, the ongoing cost felt high for a personal project I wasn't updating constantly. So, I decided to dive in and learn how to code it myself using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

What you see now is the result – a custom site built from scratch and hosted via GitHub Pages.

It's definitely still a work in progress, and I plan to continue refining and adding features over time as I learn more.

3-D Printing

3D printing is a personal hobby. I operate a Bambu Lab A1 printer and work with various materials, primarily PLA, PETG, and TPU filaments.

I enjoy printing practical, often open-sourced, custom devices designed to make everyday tasks a bit easier or more organised. My 3D modelling skills are still at a basic level, which means I'm not yet able to make major customisations to existing open-source models or generate entirely new models from scratch, but I'm learning as I go.
