Summary
I’m passionate about building good software and making cool stuff. I am currently a software engineer at Icon Technology Studio and was previously the head of software engineering at a local drone software startup. I have volunteered a significant amount of time as the team lead of infrastructure (and at one point as the treasurer) of Hackerspace Brisbane.
I have a degree in Computer Science from the Queensland University of Technology. I also started a small social enterprise called Brisbane Makerspace which is a community workshop space for people to learn about and use tools like 3D printers, laser cutters, and electronics prototyping equipment.
I have practical experience across the full stack of software development. I love making good software that’s bug free, and creating exceptional user experiences. Most of my professional experience includes working on projects with JavaScript, TypeScript, Node.js, Python, a variety of web frameworks, and devops, CI/CD and similar systems. I love learning on the job, and have a passion for learning new technologies. I’ve setup build systems using babel, webpack and npm; have familiarity with React and Typescript; experience configuring production ready services like Cloudflare, Nginx and Sentry; and have a good understanding of Docker.
My biggest strengths are my ability to rapidly learn new technologies and that I am competent across all areas of software engineering/development rather than specialising in a certain area.
