About me
I'm a Christian, software engineer, and computer science enthusiast. I am passionate about learning, programming, good software design, and sharing knowledge.
Currently I'm working as a software developer for OpenCraft.
I also trade as a freelance software engineer. See here for more information about hiring my services.
Over the last few years, I've tutored at the NCSS Summer School (an amazing experience!) and the NCSS challenge online, built a commercial website for a client, and completed a Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) at CDU.
