About

At 21, I have already established a track record of delivering enterprise-grade software and leading high-performing development teams. By fast-tracking my Computer Science degree at UOW while simultaneously working as a Full-Stack Engineer at BinaryTech, I have proven an ability to master complex technologies and deliver results at an accelerated pace.
I specialize in building scalable web applications using React (TypeScript), NestJS, and AWS. My focus is on radical efficiency, whether it’s improving build times by 260% or slashing developer onboarding from days to mere hours through automation.

  • From AI foundations to Big Data mining, I have maintained a high distinction WAM (84) while taking on extensive coursework.
  • Led my capstone team to a 95% final mark, resourcefully managing task allocation and CI/CD implementation.
  • I bridge the gap between frontend UX and backend architecture, with deep experience in Docker, Terraform, and C#/.NET.
  • Efficiency Obsessed; I have overhauled lifecycles to ensure your project scales without friction.
