I've been building for the web for over fifteen years, across agencies, startups, and product teams - mostly on the frontend. Much of that has been with TypeScript and React, though my experience and interest extend beyond them.

As AI has become more capable, I've made it a part of how I work. It lets me focus on the design and the hard decisions, and hand off the repetitive parts of the implementation without losing control of the details.

    Senior Software Engineer

    Openpay → Opypro

    Started at Openpay on the B2B team as a frontend engineer. When Openpay shut down, the team and product were spun out into a new company, Opypro, where I continue to work on the frontend apps.

    I also work across the stack in Node.js, where I built the service behind our PDF and email generation, which handles tens of thousands of documents a month.

    Started part-time on weekends, then went full-time in late 2019 when my BetEasy contract ended. Over a year and a half, I built two React SPAs, a React Native app, and plugins for the major streaming tools.

    Unfortunately, Incent shut down shortly after I left.

  4. Senior Software Engineer

    CrownBet → BetEasy

    Started on a six-month contract for the 2017 Spring Racing Carnival; stayed nearly two and a half years. I was a key part of the migration from CrownBet to BetEasy, moving much of the legacy site onto a new single-page app and shipping new features along the way.

    BetEasy merged into Sportsbet after I left.

  8. IT Lecturer

    WCIT

    After finishing my diploma at WCIT, a lecturer asked me to teach a weekly PHP class. It grew into several web courses, and I wrote and taught the material. I also spent a good chunk of time digitising other lecturers' courses for online delivery.

    WCIT is now part of North Metropolitan TAFE.
