About
I am a Geospatial (GIS) and Unreal Engine Developer with a passion for pushing technical boundaries to build innovative solutions in public safety, digital twins, and real-time geospatial intelligence. With 4 years of Unreal Engine development and 5 years of spatial analytics experience, I co-founded Oasis Aero, an award-winning aerospace startup. I enjoy creating technology that redefines how we interact with the world around us.
Throughout my career, I’ve led projects integrating Unreal Engine with geospatial operations for operational intelligence and safety monitoring, working closely with organizations like New Zealand Police and port operators. I thrive on building complex systems that improve decision-making and save lives, and I’m excited to continue innovating at the intersection of cutting-edge tech and real-world challenges.
