I’m a computer science graduate from the University of Auckland with a track record of shipping tools people actually use. I’ve contributed to open-source projects, built a widely used email verification tool with 160+ GitHub stars, and helped a project reach #1 on GitHub Trending. I’ve completed four internships across startups and established companies, giving me a strong foundation in full-stack development and applied AI. I thrive in fast-moving environments where I can own features end-to-end and ship real value to users. I’m energized by building production-ready software, collaborating across disciplines, and applying practical AI to real-world problems. I enjoy turning ideas into reliable, user-friendly products and continuously learning to raise the bar for product quality and impact.
