Fullstack dev.
Goes deep.
12 years building for the web. I go deep on hard problems, ship fast, and own projects end-to-end. Give me a blank page and a goal — I'll figure out the rest.

About
I'm a fullstack engineer based in Melbourne with 12 years of building for the web. I'm at my best when I'm handed a loose brief and left to figure it out — taking a blank page and turning it into a working product is where I thrive.
I go deep on problems. I care about understanding how things work under the hood, not just getting them to work on the surface. I'm the person teams tend to pull into the hard problems — and I've been told my biggest contribution is often helping other developers get unblocked along the way.
Right now I'm taking on freelance projects — from quick MVPs to longer engagements. If you've got something to build and need someone who can own it end-to-end, I'd like to hear about it.
Let's build something.
Currently accepting freelance projects. Fast turnaround, clean code, no drama.
