Product Engineering
React, Next.js, Angular, Ionic, and React Native work across real product surfaces, not just demos.
Senior Software Engineer · Brisbane, QLD, AU · UQ
Building web, mobile, cloud, and AI features that hold up in production.
I build full-stack products across web, mobile, APIs, and AWS. These days that mostly means learning-platform integrations at UQ, with a practical interest in using AI where it actually helps a team move faster.
Current focus
Learning-platform integrations, event-driven services, AWS, and small AI workflows that are useful in day-to-day engineering.
ReactNext.jsTypeScriptAWSNode.jsAI WorkflowsTestingPlatform Reliability
Backend & Cloud
Node.js, TypeScript, ASP.NET Core, PHP APIs, AWS Lambda, ECS Fargate, API Gateway, S3, CloudFront, and DynamoDB.
Architecture
Microservices, event-driven flows, API design, caching, CI/CD, and the less glamorous work of keeping services healthy.
AI Workflows
OpenAI, Claude, Bedrock, LangChain, RAG, function calling, MCP, and small AI workflows that fit into normal engineering work.
Experience
Product work, platform work, and the handover between them.
Work across university platforms, mobile products, cloud services, and a few independent builds that still show how I think through systems.

Selected Work
A smaller set of work worth reading.
Recent professional work comes first. Older projects stay here only where they still say something useful about how I build.
