About

I’m a full-stack engineer based in Melbourne with about two years of commercial experience building production web features across React and TypeScript front ends, and Node.js (NestJS) back ends. I’ve worked on an assessment platform where I’ve shipped end-to-end features for candidates and hiring teams, from product requirements through implementation, testing, and release.

A big focus in my day-to-day work is reliability and quality: I built a queue-based NestJS service using AWS SQS to process heavy candidate submissions asynchronously outside the main app, and I use AI tools like Claude Code to scaffold, write Jest tests, and speed up refactors. I also collaborate closely with product and design—debugging to root cause when issues come up—and have implemented quality checks like an AI pre-PR review and a UI-vs-Figma verification to catch layout and styling problems early.

Software Engineer · VervoeJan 2026 – Present · 11 mos

Built and shipped end-to-end features across React, TypeScript, and Node.js (NestJS) for both sides of an assessment platform: candidates taking skills assessments and hiring teams creating them. Developed a queue-based NestJS back-end service using AWS SQS to process candidate submissions asynchronously outside the main app, handling heavy workload. Used Claude Code daily for scaffolding, writing Jest tests, and accelerating refactors; also implemented an AI pre-PR review process to catch logic bugs, security issues, and missed edge cases. Built a Claude skill to validate the live UI against Figma by checking computed styles (spacing/sizing). Investigated production issues to root cause and added Jest and React Testing Library tests alongside fixes. Implemented in-browser PostgreSQL via PGlt e (PGlite) inside a Web Worker so candidates can write and run SQL in their skills assessments.

Front-End Developer · VervoeDec 2022 – May 2024 · 1 yr 6 mos

Built Vervoe’s internal Customer Success dashboard from scratch in React, TypeScript, and Material UI, transforming Figma designs into production. Replaced an older tool with live tables, filters, and charts used daily by at least 10 people to manage customer relationships. Created reusable Material UI components and layouts to keep the dashboard consistent as it grew. Worked directly with the Customer Success team to understand their workflow and shape what the dashboard needed to do.
