Hello there, I like
building software at
high velocity and
taking on challenging
problems.

Well made
I build high-quality software that solves real problems. I'm pragmatic and focused on execution, preferring to ship working code over theorising. When I take on a project, I own the outcome from start to finish. I work best in teams where technical excellence and clear communication are valued. My goal is simple: to create reliable, performant applications that users actually want to use.
My strength is Python, but I'm language-agnostic with experience in Java, C#, and web technologies. My foundation is in C and Computer Science & Computational Simulation Science.
I manage the full lifecycle—from Figma designs to deployment. I'm seeking high-impact roles that offer ownership and velocity.

I'm currently based in Brisbane and building Lewy Security, an end-to-end security automation platform. It features a high-signal workflow that combines codebase modelling with AI-assisted triage to help developers prioritise and remediate real risks through a guided, audit-ready CLI. I'm still open to new opportunities. (blog)
