I’m a product-focused software developer and product engineer who builds and ships web and mobile applications using AI-assisted development. I combine strong technical ability with real business experience from running a successful trade company, taking ideas from concept to deployed product with a focus on mapping, real-time data, and rapid prototyping. I own end-to-end responsibility for features, from scoping and UX to development, deployment, and iteration. I’ve shipped a cycling platform across web, iOS, and Android with VicBUG, and I’ve led projects like RunGPT and CyaRoutes that informed VicBUG’s direction. My background as a founder helps me ship pragmatic, usable products that meet real user needs.
