Henk Willcock

I’m a Victoria University of Wellington computer science graduate with over six years of full stack development experience. I’ve worked across complex legacy systems, early-stage products, and startup environments. I apply modern AI tools to prototype feature sets, accelerate development, and enhance product capabilities.

I began my career at Catalyst IT, primarily working on the Election Management System, a complex, diverse codebase spanning many languages. I’ve also led development of other applications from the ground up and contributed to several internal systems. Since then I’ve taken on roles including contract work at NLC Payroll and a full-stack position at Emirates Team NZ. Parallel to work, I have built independent projects (Android apps with Kotlin, online games via WebSocket, Unity-based games and simulations) and co-founded Kura Finance, a SaaS startup delivering automated accounts reporting for NZ schools. Outside work I enjoy kayaking, cycling, golf, and social football.
