A little
about me

I’m a software engineer and hands-on technical lead based in Auckland. I work with clients and teams internationally, building native iOS apps, Laravel APIs and the cloud infrastructure behind them.

Through 7glyphs, I’ve combined architecture and delivery with writing code, working with clients and leading a team of up to 12.

I also founded Monado and independently designed, built and released SoberPath. I enjoy taking responsibility for the whole product as much as working alongside an existing team.
