About Me

I am a software engineer with bluechip and startup experience and a passion for solving important problems using full stack web development. I specialise in creating engaging and interactive front-end experiences and I have a strong interest in mobile product development.

Trilingual, I am excited to work with a highly collaborative, multi-disciplinary team on important, challenging projects. I studied at the University of New South Wales and I’m a massive music lover and play the guitar, piano and sing.
