I build things. Occasionally I write English.

I am a founding engineer at AutoRFP.ai, building the future of bid management.

Prior to this, I worked at Canva, building their billing and payment systems. If you've bought something from them, you've probably interacted with code that I wrote, and systems I helped design 😄

Before that, I was a founding engineer at a Y Combinator startup, did computational biology research at the University of QLD, and completed a dual BMath/BIT at QUT. I started programming at 10 years old, and worked as a freelance dev through university.

I am happily married to Ashley Johnson, and we live in Newstead, Brisbane, Australia. Fun fact: this website is hosted on a Raspberry Pi in our laundry cupboard 🤍
