About

Build it, ship it, stay with it.

I have commercial experience shipping production software in healthcare and energy — two messy, high-stakes domains where the software has to be correct. Comfortable building features from the ground up, owning them through go-live, and becoming useful in a complex domain quickly.

I am now a Software Engineer at Dimension Software, where a lot of my work is connecting AI to real systems through MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers. Before that I led a five-person capstone team that shipped a clinical tool for Health New Zealand. I use AI tools well (Cursor, Claude, Copilot), then review the result. Based in Auckland.

Experience

Production systems in high-stakes domains.

Now at Dimension Software. Before that, a Health New Zealand capstone and a Top Energy summer internship, both during my degree.

  1. Work

    Sep 2026 — Present

    Software Engineer

    Dimension Software

    Full-stack feature work, plus the MCP servers that let AI tools read from and act on real business systems.

    • Ship features end to end, from the database and back-end services through to the screens people use.
    • Design and integrate APIs, and build MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers and integrations that let AI tools work with real business systems.

    Work

    Jul 2025 — Jun 2026

    R&D Lead Engineer (AUT Capstone)

    Health New Zealand / Te Whatu Ora · final-year capstone, alongside study

    Led a team of five building the ISNCSCI Assessment Tool, production software clinicians use daily, as my degree's capstone project.

    • Set the technical direction, managed the Supabase PostgreSQL database, and built the clinician dashboard and profile section.
    • Owned work through requirements, implementation, testing, go-live and support, rather than treating ship as the end.
    • Learned a dense clinical domain fast enough to ship tools people could trust; sat with non-technical users and iterated on awkward flows.
    • Collaborated through design conversations, reviews and documentation; used Cursor and Claude daily with judgement about where AI helps and where it needs a human.
  3. Top Energy Outage Centre map of Northland with planned and unplanned outages

    Work

    Nov 2025 — Feb 2026

    Digital Systems Engineer (Summer Internship)

    Top Energy Ltd

    Built cloud data and ML workflows on Azure against real infrastructure — including a production fault-detection model on pole imagery.

    • Shipped a pole-imagery fault-detection model at 95% accuracy and recall, replacing days of manual work.
    • Delivered integrations across SharePoint, Entra and FME that had to keep working when source systems were messy.
    • Led practical Copilot adoption: used AI to move faster, reviewed generated code before it shipped, and shared that judgement with the team.

    Education

    Jul 2023 — Jun 2026

    Bachelor of Computer and Information Sciences

    Auckland University of Technology

    Software engineering across Python, Java, SQL and TypeScript — building working systems, not just completing labs.

    • Advanced courses in AI & ML, Data Science, Project Management and codebases.
    • Full stack applications including Taxi App, Pub Quiz using OpenAI, Shortest Path Maze Finder and a Digital ISNCSCI web app.
    • Member of AUT CSEA, AUT Basketball and AUT Gym.

Projects

Work that had to be correct.

Clinical production software and AI-backed product work, both built in teams.

2025

Production

ISNCSCI Assessment Tool

React/TypeScript web app for neurological classification of spinal cord injuries, deployed at a major NZ hospital. Assessment views, draft/status workflows and reusable hooks in a high-stakes clinical setting — software that had to be correct when a clinician was with a patient, not only in a demo.

Team of 5 — I led the team, set the direction, built the dashboard and profile section, and managed the database.

  • Next.js
  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Supabase

2024

Shipped

Trivia on Tap

Full-stack pub quiz with OpenAI for live question generation, plus scoring, persistence and multi-user flows. Built to make an AI-backed product usable rather than leaving it as a prototype.

Team of 4 — I designed the frontend, including the dashboard and button interactions.

  • React
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind
  • Supabase
  • OpenAI API
