How I tend to work
I am not especially interested in performing seniority. I like doing the work, being useful in the messy middle of a project, and helping a team make good decisions without turning everything into a grand architectural event.
About me
A bit of the person behind the CV.
My 25+ years of experience spans from desktop engineering and real-time simulation through to mobile apps, web products and cloud platforms. I am comfortable with architecture and leadership, but I am happiest when I am still writing code, shaping delivery and helping a team get unstuck.
What I bring to a team
A lot of my career has involved moving between product thinking, implementation detail, systems architecture and mentoring. That means I can usually help in more than one layer of the problem at once, which is often where the value is.
What I am looking for next
At the moment I am most interested in Melbourne-based teams doing solid product work with React, React Native, TypeScript, Node.js and AWS. Contract work is the current preference, though I am open to the right full-time role.
Outside the IDE
Still a person.
I am a long-term software engineer who still genuinely enjoys learning new tools and building things.
I can move between architecture, implementation, product conversations and mentoring without needing to turn any of them into theatre.
Outside work I am into literature, woodworking, music and occasional volunteering.
Projects
The side-project and product view.
If you want the practical version of all this, the projects page is probably the best next stop.

If you would rather skim a standard résumé, the PDF is still there.
