Sixteen years building software, twelve of them in Los Angeles, the rest back home on the island I grew up on. Modern TypeScript stack, plain-language explanations, work that stays maintainable.

PATH
1985
North-west coast

Born and raised on the North West Coast of Tasmania, the city by the sea.

Hobart · UTAS
Computer science

Moved south to study. Turned an aptitude into a career.

12 years
Los Angeles

A hemisphere from home. Got married, rescued a dog and had three kids along the way.

Now · 3 yrs
Launceston

Brought everyone home. Bikes to school, the garden, the squash court. A balance that made the move worth it.

METHOD

People first, then the code.

I like being in the office a few days a week: a whiteboard, a coffee, the team in one room. The best software comes from people who actually talk to each other, so I keep the technical part in plain terms and make sure everyone understands the journey, not just the engineers.

Tested, accessible, fast.

A modern TypeScript stack with Python behind it. AI tooling is part of the day-to-day without losing the plot. I care about work that stays maintainable and a pace that stays sustainable.
