Available to hire
I am a Creative Technologist with over a decade of experience spanning development, technical leadership, and digital strategy. My work bridges the gap between people, design, and technology. Connecting business needs with creative and technical delivery. Having worked as both a Frontend Developer and CTO, I bring a unique perspective that balances hands-on coding expertise with leadership and strategy. I have delivered websites, web applications, and digital platforms for a diverse range of clients across agency, in-house product, and not-for-profit sectors. I want to build fulfilling relationships with humans doing their best work on projects that really matter. When I’m not building websites or providing technical leadership and digital strategy you’ll find me off-grid and as far away from screens and signals as my bare feet will take me and my kids (8 & 10). We live just north of Byron Bay in the beautiful Northern Rivers region of NSW, Australia. Bundjalung and Yugambeh country.
