AI & machine learning
I’ve studied AI and machine learning, and I build systems that use them. I’m interested in how they work, where they’re useful and where their limits are.
Systems & software
People, processes, software and infrastructure. I like understanding how they fit together, including the everyday work happening around the code.
How I work
I use specialised AI agents for planning, building, advice and review. I stay hands-on with the code and own the decisions.
I start by
paying attention.
To the person. To the process. To the part everyone has learnt to work around.
I started building software when I was 10. My first language was PHP. These days, I’m a Full-Stack Software Engineer in Perth, with professional experience since 2019 across software, cloud infrastructure and AI.

A person.
A process.
An agent team.
Here’s how I combine my own engineering judgement with a team of specialised AI agents, from understanding the work to reviewing the result.
Be there. Understand the work.Discovery · Me
I sit with clients and learn how their day actually works. The mundane details often reveal the real process. Before bringing in an agent, I need to understand the system myself.
Make the thinking explicit.Definition · Me + a sounding board
I write the brief, map acceptance criteria, and work through the edge cases and failure paths. An agent acts as a sounding board, helping me question assumptions and sharpen the plan.
Give each agent a clear role.Orchestration · Me + the agent team
I work with a lead agent that plans and distributes work to junior and senior worker agents, with an adviser supporting the process. I stay close to the implementation, spot-check the code and step in for precise edits when needed.
Review together. Test in practice.Verification · Me + team + automation
I read and review the code with the team and a separate review agent. Together, we work through end-to-end checks in the browser or simulator. Automation agents handle programmatic tests, including unit tests suited to the work.
Learn at every turn.Learning · Automated session review
Reflection doesn’t have to wait until the project ends. Automated reviews capture decisions, problems and useful lessons throughout the work and during session reviews, then carry them into later sessions.
