Designed, developed and shipped Dogebox: an open-source app store and runtime for cryptocurrency software. Alongside the code, I help with coaching, product evangelism and fundraising.
Built the in-browser classroom experience, with live video, chat and reactions. Led engineering across the USA, ANZ and India, and helped bring classes to partner sites such as AOL through an embeddable SDK.
Designed and built real-time construction-site tracking in 3D models and 2D charts, showing equipment, people and materials. Also contributed backend features and Azure infrastructure automation.
Built and led web and backend projects as iflix grew to 50 million users across 40+ countries. Highlights included identity, rewards and gamification, live events and the feed.
Joined KPMG in 2007 as an IT risk and controls auditor, developing a care for detail, completeness and accuracy. An itch to build led me into development, creating tools to make the work easier for myself and others.
HOW I THINK ABOUT THINGS
Step in to each day aiming to..
Good work starts with people who feel they can give it a go. I was given room to try - make room for others.
Build systems that are thoughtfully designed, well tested and monitored, with decisions we can stand behind. Good plans get us there.
Starting is exciting. Finishing is often the hardest part. Make what’s left clear and worth doing, to finish each day well, each week well, each project well.
A FEW TOOLS IN MY TOOLBOX
Building software. Growing teams. Helping things move forward.
Full-stack development with TypeScript, React, Vue, Node.js and GraphQL. SQL and NoSQL databases, AWS and Azure infrastructure, automated testing and CI/CD - from live video streaming to real-time tracking and open-source tools.
Led engineering across the USA, ANZ and India at GetSetUp. Built release, on-call and incident management practices at OneTwo, balancing reliable delivery with developer morale. Coaching, clear direction and room for people to grow.
Founded etaskr and led a team of nine to build an enterprise work marketplace, raise venture capital and reach a successful exit. Experience shaping products, setting roadmaps, working with stakeholders and taking ideas through to delivery.
GOOD THINGS START WITH A CONVERSATION
