My interest in technology started when I was 14 years old, when on a whim I started learning C++ using learncpp.com.
Despite getting stuck at pointers, the ability to make my computer do what I wanted was fascinating.
Two months later I found myself working with a small indie team on a game idea, coding in C#.
Working with a team of like-minded young people to bring something to life brought a sense of craft and enjoyment that I wanted to experience more of.
One self-taught Android Java app later - and I knew I wanted to pursue software engineering as a career.
Fast-forward to today, I've had the privilege to work with a student tech society, a start-up, an inter-university student start-up hub and most recently a traditional service business.
My experiences are widely varied, and within each I have taken a position of significant responsibility. I've enjoyed working with great people to build products, solve problems and connect people together to bring about positive growth.
I am always open to new collaborations, conversations and opportunities. Please pop a message if you’re interested in working together or chatting!
