Melbourne software engineer
I build thoughtful software across web, mobile and cloud systems. These days I am most excited by React, React Native, TypeScript, Node.js and AWS, especially when the team cares about product quality and the software engineering craft as much as I do.
Available for contract roles now, and open to the right full-time opportunity.
What I am looking for
Best fit
I am strongest where product thinking, implementation depth and team guidance overlap. I like helping teams ship, but I also care about leaving the codebase, tooling and day-to-day team life in better shape.
Current market
I am actively looking in Melbourne, with a preference for contract work. That said, I am not doctrinaire about it. If a full-time role has the right people, culture and technical challenge, I would gladly have the conversation.
Preferred stack
My background is broad, but the work I am most keen to do next leans toward modern JavaScript platforms, mobile products and cloud-native systems.
How I can help
My background includes desktop engineering, real-time simulation, distributed systems, front-end architecture, cloud delivery and mobile product work. The common thread is that I like software which has to hold up in the real world, not just in a demo.
Commercial products
Featured work
GitHub
An open source SSH and SFTP client library for React Native that I built out and published to npm.
It is a good example of the kind of work I enjoy: practical mobile engineering, native platform edges, TypeScript-friendly APIs and documentation that helps people actually get the thing working.
GitHub and live project
A reference site for HTTP status codes that turns dry protocol details into something a bit more usable and pleasant.
I like projects like this because they sit at the intersection of useful information architecture, front-end craft and developer ergonomics. It is practical, slightly nerdy and hopefully nicer to use than the average reference page.
Digital playground
My little corner of the internet for experiments, side projects and ideas that do not need to pretend to be enterprise software.
I wanted this site to hint at that side of me too. The playground matters because it shows I still like making things, trying ideas quickly and keeping some curiosity in the work.
About me
I like teams that value strong engineering, calm collaboration and software that feels good to use. There is a little more on how I work and what I am after on the about page.

From Autodesk product lines and simulation tooling through to React Native, AWS and freelance delivery, I have spent a lot of time moving between hands-on engineering and technical leadership.
