🧔 A little about me

I love tech. They say any sufficiently advanced tech is like magic to the uninitiated, and who doesn't want to be a Wizard? I love to use React and Typescript to turn problems into magic on the internet. Outside of tech, I have been married to my highschool sweetheart for 11 years and have two wonderful daughters. I love to cook as a bit of a zen activity to avoid burnout, my pickled onions are to die for. What's left of my free time get spent telling stories with friends through role playing games. Currently I enjoy helping one of my best friends to develop a rules system for telling stories called Omen.

  Making a Difference

  I made the decision to take on bigger challenges at VaxApp. It was a tough decision at the time but it has paid off. I loved the feeling of doing something important by streamlining vaccination processes during the height of the pandemic. I get to help a lot of people with my dev skills whilst learning a lot in a fast paced start up.

  Breaking Bad

  My wife broke her leg! And we have stairs in our house. She and my daughters had to move into the in laws home while I took care of the pets at home. It was five long months of missing my family and I am very grateful to my in laws for looking after them during that time.

  In the Fast Lane

  I left Vitavo (formerly known as VaxApp) to move into doing some enterprise software with a company called Transmax. It's the biggest engineering team I have ever worked with and I have learned a lot already about enterprise software, working across teams and more robust architectures. I'm having a blast participating in communities of practice and making motorways that much smarter.

  Crushin' it Daily

  I am really enjoying my time at Transmax. I'm getting to solve some worthwhile problems, champion best practices, and mentor the juniors on my team. I find myself getting a deeper understand of frontend fundamentals and at the same time learning about other spheres from my colleagues. Things like backend, AIT and DevOps to name a few fields.
