Biography
I am a Software Engineer & Product Lead (First Class Honours, USYD) who builds production-grade systems end to end. I lead engineering and product for Done Life, an AI-first productivity platform, owning the full lifecycle from cloud infrastructure and AI pipelines through to monetisation, App Store compliance, and CI/CD - and I'm the sole feature engineer shipping BackupMeraki, a Cisco Meraki backup/restore SaaS platform, at Nexivity. Being the entire technical team at Done Life means every product call passes through me too: I've scrapped a year of no-code tooling for a working prototype built in a day, designed the subscription and entitlement system end to end, and built an offline AI-eval harness to A/B test model trade-offs on data instead of instinct - the kind of decision that sits right at the intersection of engineering and product. My technical foundation spans field-level AES-256-GCM encryption, Terraform-provisioned GCP and AWS infrastructure, OpenAI Responses API with strict JSON schema and timezone-aware extraction, and GitHub Actions CI/CD pipelines. At Accenture I acted as a force multiplier, automating security provisioning workflows and cutting manual effort by 80%. Beyond code, I led the USYD Robotics Club from 230 to 1,800+ members as President, and I excel at translating ambiguous requirements into shipped software across compliance, data modelling, and product roadmaps.
Build-Run-Own-Decide
I don't just write code; I architect the solution, manage the cloud operations, handle the compliance (GDPR to App Store verification), and make the product calls that decide what gets built next.
AI & Scalability
I build systems that handle complexity—from scaling database permissions at Accenture to running data-driven trade-off analysis (an offline eval harness, A/B'd reasoning-effort levels) before shipping AI changes.
Clarity
I excel at translating technical trade-offs for non-technical stakeholders (founders, clients, students, leadership).
