Professional Experience
Full Stack Software Engineer
CurrentNexivity·Sydney, Australia
Engineer on BackupMeraki: backup, restore and comparison for Cisco Meraki networks on AWS
- ▸Fixed backups of large networks that were losing data under Cisco's API rate limits, by reading the SDK's source to find the regression, measuring the old system's real behaviour, and restoring it with a single concurrency gate
- ▸Rebuilt the report customers see after a restore so it shows at a glance what was restored, what was already correct and what failed, with every outcome path traced in code and verified by live restores
Software Engineer & Product Lead

Production Flutter app with AI email ingestion, field-level encryption, and cloud infrastructure as code
- ▸Made the app 97% faster for users by replacing blind 15-minute email polling with custom mailhooks (Gmail push notifications), cutting average processing time from 20 minutes to 40 seconds — entirely my own initiative
- ▸Cut cloud costs by 91% by building a junk filter that discards the ~90% of inbound attachment data (signature images, decorative graphics) that was useless noise before it ever reached the AI
