About
Where it started
I started writing code in 2018, entirely self-taught before formalizing with a Bachelor of Information Technology at the University of Canberra. The self-taught path instilled a habit I still rely on: figure out the actual problem before reaching for a tool.
Six years later, I've shipped 20+ projects across SaaS, healthcare, e-commerce, and internal tooling — from a campaign platform that handled 20,000 sign-ups in two weeks to a messaging infrastructure running millions of messages per day across emerging markets at Telerivet.
I work remotely, across time zones, as an independent contractor. My clients are founders and small product teams who need a senior engineer who can own the full scope — architecture, build, and deployment — without a handoff between roles.

How I work
Discover
A working session to understand what you're building, for whom, and what constraints actually matter. No intake forms — a real conversation.
Plan
Architecture, scope, and a written plan before any code is written. You get a document you can hold me to, whether or not we work together.
Build
Deployed slices on a regular cadence — working software to react to, not status updates. Async by default, calls when they matter.
Ship
Production cutover, monitoring, and a runbook your team can act on. A clean handover or a retainer — your call.
