I’ve spent decades turning ideas into experiences that engage audiences, with a background in storytelling, visual composition and collaborative production. That background now informs my work as a software developer, where I bring creativity, discipline and strong teamwork to build dynamic digital products. I’ve earned recognition across film and television, including the Film NSW Aurora development scheme for the feature Fables, and I have written and produced for national and international clients. I’ve led and collaborated on web apps and multimedia projects—Meet App, Movie Geeks, myFlix, and Chat App—leveraging OAuth 2, serverless AWS, and end-to-end development to deliver accessible, high-quality experiences.
