About

I'm a front-end developer based in New Zealand with a background in software engineering from the University of Auckland. I enjoy building things that live on the web — whether that's a large-scale commerce platform serving thousands of customers or a personal tool that makes my mornings easier.

Day-to-day, I work on enterprise e-commerce storefronts using Angular and SAP Composable Storefront (Spartacus), handling everything from component architecture and state management to SSR and search integration. Outside of work, I gravitate toward React, TypeScript, and AWS — building serverless apps and exploring new patterns.

I care about clean code, thoughtful UX, and shipping things that actually work well for the people using them.
