I am a Solutions Architect with a background in DevOps, Frontend and Backend Development based in Sydney, Australia, with a passion for delving deep into the intricacies of technology.
On the journey to create my company, Bitping, I developed my skills in Frontend, Backend and DevOps. My experience spans a wide range of Peer to Peer networking systems, including Bitcoin and BitTorrent. I thrive on exploring new languages and frameworks, having developed websites with Svelte and React. I am equally skilled at backend development, where I have honed my skills in Rust, .NET C#, and NodeJS/Deno.
Along my career, I have also built out infrastructure as code pipelines in Terraform to construct Kubernetes clusters both on-prem and in cloud.
I also have experience in creating cross-cloud architectures to help businesses increase their redundancy while lowering costs.
I have experience in training developers and managing people from when worked as a Technical Team Leader in the Innovation Team at InfoTrack. I have also worked as a Senior Software Engineer at Ansarada and thedocyard, where my team and I worked to create new products and overhaul existing service offerings.
I am always on the lookout for new experiences and opportunities that challenge my limits.
My goal is to always provide the best possible experience for customers and I have an eye for optimisation at any company I work with.
