As a junior developer, my role involves maintaining and updating existing websites and digital products, as well as assisting with bug fixes and minor feature updates. I collaborate with the development team on ongoing projects, document any changes I make, and manage code using version control systems like Git. I actively participate in team meetings, contribute to problem-solving discussions, and enjoy working both independently and as part of a collaborative team environment.

I've had the privilege of working with CreaturePost, starting with the LUMA Light Show in 2023 and 2024. During that time, we launched Imaginaium—an innovative video feed that uses AI-generated imagery, dynamically evolving based on live microphone input and several other projects including one of Skinny Mobiles ad campign with their new AI ambassador, Liz. Initially a prototype with limited performance, we leveraged advancing technology to transform it into the captivating visual installation we envisioned.

Working at DeepFocus provided me with valuable opportunities and played a key role in launching my software development career. Initially training as an Apple Certified Technician, I soon shifted my focus to automating internal processes, streamlining everything from repair bookings to lead management. This ultimately led to integrating an official Apple API, optimizing workflows to reduce administrative overhead and enhance both operational efficiency and the customer experience.

As the lead developer in R&D, I advanced the development of AI-driven image analysis models to detect invasive vegetation in satellite imagery. In addition to my work in machine learning, I played a key role in preliminary UI/UX design and website development, ensuring intuitive and effective user experiences. I also managed administrative tasks, collaborating with external partners to support project goals and streamline operations.

I attended Wakatipu High School, where I successfully completed all three levels of NCEA without failing a class. My strengths were in computer programming, mathematics, and physics, where I consistently excelled and deepened my technical and problem-solving skills.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Engineering (Honours) in Mechatronics at Auckland University of Technology. This program has allowed me to develop a strong foundation in mechanical, electrical, and software engineering, with a focus on automation, robotics, and embedded systems.
