02 / Behind the work

The person
behind the work.

I'm a Melbourne-based full-stack developer and Master's student in IT. I build end-to-end web products, from the interface to the API.

I care about clear interfaces, maintainable architecture, and turning rough ideas into dependable software.

I'm a Melbourne-based full-stack developer and Master's student in IT. I build end-to-end web products with React, Next.js, and Tailwind on the front end, and NestJS, Prisma, PostgreSQL, and RESTful APIs on the back end.

~$ cat profile/approach.md

I care about the whole product surface: clear interfaces, maintainable architecture, and the implementation discipline that turns rough ideas into dependable software.
