About

Full-Stack Developer & Dad of Twin Girls

I’m an Auckland-based dad who loves two things: my twin daughters and building clean software.

Through a diverse background that includes a Bachelor of Property and hands-on experience across business operations, sales, hospitality, and construction, I programme with a broad perspective to create user-friendly products.

Based on my experience leading team projects, I focus on building stable and clean systems where team members can easily collaborate. I prioritise writing code that not only solves the problem at hand but is also easily maintainable and scalable in the future.

I’m a developer who genuinely enjoys continuous learning and refactoring. Outside of coding, I like playing golf and singing.

My Engineering Philosophy

Maintainability & Scalability

I constantly think deeply about the project's architecture to ensure it is easy to maintain or add features and designs, and I am genuinely committed to creating common components and hooks.

Cleanliness

Messy or duplicated code is my biggest pet peeve. I highly value writing clean, readable code and structuring files and folders in a logical way that anyone jumping into the codebase can easily follow.

Embracing New Tech

Every project is an opportunity to grow. No matter how small, I make it a point to try something new, whether it's exploring a new tech trend, language, framework, or library, constantly searching for more efficient ways to build.

User-Centric Approach

At the end of the day, the user's experience is what matters most. I am deeply committed to creating user-friendly products so that users can intuitively understand and use the product.
