I build software tools and websites that solve the hard problems — networks, systems, and the things people actually want to use.
I'm a developer with a Bachelor of Computer & Information Sciences in networks, cybersecurity and software development. In the not to distant past I ran top-tier IT support and Windows system administration across the Microsoft cloud stack — when I was doing this I sat right next to real users, daily, watching exactly where software and hardware let them down time and time again.
Off the clock I'm homelabbing, Stargazing, and chasing physics, engineering and mechanics — I'll happily pull an engine apart to tune it for more power. Same instinct everywhere: see the problem, work out how it really fits together, and make it work.
I've been around boats my whole life — sailing and the water have always been home, where I go to unwind. When I'm not on the water I'm out hiking or sharing good time with friends. Health and training shape how I live, and how I think about helping people: understand where someone really is, then actually make things better for them.
Now Im available, im working on my personal brand, Accounting software and creating world class tools right here in Aoteroa New Zealand for small to medium business owners.

Tested a full WiFi 7 (802.11be) network. Benchmarked real-world throughput, latency and other performance metrics against theoretical models, documenting the full process every step of the way.
A swipe-first app for matching people with personal trainers — pairing my interest in fitness with a clean, fast TypeScript front end. A failed Idea, but helped me learn what really matters about a project, If your Interested read more about it in my blog!
View repo ↗A home system, managed network, network routing and virtualization server for things that require onsite data control.
The site you're on — a hand-built, fully animated coastal portfolio with a live canvas depth-map background, mouse parallax and scroll reveals. No templates, just modern tools used well.
Available for freelance — building websites and software tools for people who have a problem worth solving, not just another help-desk ticket.
Providing top-tier support across Windows systems and system administration, working to ITIL procedures. Day to day I manage endpoints with Microsoft Intune, handle Active Directory, and provision machines with Windows Autopilot — running the full Azure stack to manage devices and support internal end users.
Sitting at wrap-around level-1 support has been the real edge: I see exactly where users hit friction every day, which is precisely the knowledge that lets me build better software.
Majored across networks, cybersecurity and software development — the three threads I've been weaving together ever since, and now building on with real-world experience.
Taught one-on-one guitar to kids and supported students as a programming TA at university. Both taught me to break hard ideas into simple, learnable steps — and that helping someone finally get it is its own kind of problem-solving.
A hands-on engineer at heart — hobby astronomer, hooked on physics and engineering, with practical mechanical knowledge from working on machines and tuning them for maximum performance. I work by intuition: see the problem, understand how it really fits together, and make it work.
