About
I'm a software engineer based in Sydney, with a background in audio and creative production.
When I was younger, I wanted to be a game developer. I was always curious about how software worked and why certain products felt good to use.
I like building products that are clear, useful and easy to use. Most of my work is in React and TypeScript, and I enjoy frontend problems where product, design and engineering all meet.
Outside of code, music has been a big part of my life for a long time, and that still shapes how I think about detail, structure and craft in software.
I'm currently at Swipejobs, working across platforms for workers and staffing firms.
