I've been building web applications since 2015. For five years I was the only developer at Trading Edge Dynamics, where I designed, built and ran a technical-analysis platform for ASX traders. After a break at home with my family, I went back to university because I wanted my degree, and finished Computer Science at Griffith with an Award for Academic Excellence each year. Since then I've built Live Gizmo, a multiplayer party-game site I run myself, and now I'm mostly rebuilding TED as TED 3. I'm looking for a remote role on a team.
About
The longer version
I studied electronic engineering at TAFE SA, then spent five years at Domino's as a shift runner and then a manager, looking after staff, rosters, hiring and stock.
In 2015 I started freelancing, building websites and PHP applications for clients. In 2017 I joined Trading Edge Dynamics as its only developer, and for five years I designed, built and ran its technical-analysis platform for ASX traders, from the Angular front end to the Python jobs that calculated indicators for the whole market.
After TED I took time out to be at home with my family. In 2023 I went back to university because I wanted my degree. I studied Computer Science at Griffith, finished in 2025 with a 6.71 GPA, and received an Award for Academic Excellence each year.
Since then I've built TileSwap, a daily picture puzzle, and Live Gizmo, a multiplayer party-game site. Most of my time now goes on TED 3, a rebuild of the platform I spent five years on.
Most of my development work has been on my own, so I'm used to owning a whole system, from the database to the deploy. Next I'd like to do that alongside other people, in a remote role.
How I work
I use Claude Code every day. I make the design decisions and review everything it writes before it ships. The habits that keep that safe are the same ones I'd use without it: small packages that keep the rules separate from framework code, good test coverage, and deploys that stop when a test fails.
Outside of work
When I'm away from the keyboard, you can find me spending time with my family, in the garden, doing DIY projects, trying out new recipes, or playing classical guitar.
