Final-year Software Engineering (Honours) student at Deakin University, with recent industry experience as an intern at HAVI Technology. My work spans full-stack web applications, REST APIs, and IoT systems that connect hardware to the cloud.
I learn best by building. Most of what I know has come from shipping actual projects - a React and OpenAI tutoring app, an ASP.NET Core robot-control API, MQTT-driven IoT networks - and picking up whatever language or tool the problem calls for, from JavaScript and C# to C++.
Right now I'm completing my Honours thesis on monitoring the health and reliability of remote autonomous systems, working with telemetry, fault detection and drone data. I enjoy the parts of engineering where hardware, APIs and front-ends have to work together, and I'm looking to bring that into a graduate role where I can keep building software people genuinely use.
Software Developer · Front-End & IoT
Delivering production-ready features in an Agile team: front-end work, API integration and IoT systems.
Software Engineering Intern · Front-End & Project Coordination
Built front-end features for a React tutoring app and helped coordinate the team's Agile workflow, with a focus on clean, accessible UI.
Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours)
Focus on full-stack development, IoT systems and software architecture. Honours thesis on monitoring autonomous systems.
Live gold & silver portfolio tracker (AUD) with Google sign-in, real-time cross-device sync, live spot prices and charts.
A web app for tracking a gold and silver bullion portfolio in AUD. It pulls live spot prices, works out cost basis and unrealised profit/loss, and keeps your holdings synced across every device you sign in on. Built with plain JavaScript ES modules: no framework and no build step.
I designed and built the whole thing end to end on my own: the front-end, the data and auth layer, the live price integration and the deployment pipeline.
Shipped a live, production app I use myself, and got hands-on with authentication, real-time databases, third-party API integration and CI/CD, all without reaching for a framework.
Open source under the MIT License, free for anyone to use, modify and build on, with attribution. Provided "as is", with no warranty; used at your own risk and cost. It's a personal tracking tool, not financial advice.
Lesson-aware tutoring chatbot with file upload and chat history. Led front-end and UI/UX with a focus on accessibility.
BugBox is a chat-based tutoring bot that helps students learn through lesson-aware conversations. It answers questions in the context of a specific lesson, accepts file uploads for richer help, and keeps a history of past chats.
I led the front-end and UI/UX as part of an Agile team, and contributed to planning and documentation. Accessibility was a priority, so I worked to meet WCAG standards.
Delivered a working tutoring tool in a team setting and strengthened my React, API integration and accessibility skills.
Scalable multi-node lighting network with auto/manual modes, ambient sensing and a real-time dashboard.
A scalable smart lighting system where several lighting nodes are controlled in real time from a central dashboard. It supports automatic and manual modes and senses ambient light to adjust brightness.
I designed and built the full system end to end: the embedded firmware, the messaging layer and the dashboard.
Learned event-driven design, real-time messaging and how to connect embedded devices to the cloud.
REST API with authentication, maps and robot commands built on an N-tier architecture and tested in Postman.
A REST API that drives a simulated robot, exposing endpoints for maps and robot commands with authentication and authorization built in.
I designed and implemented the API using a clean N-tier architecture, then tested every endpoint in Postman.
Deepened my understanding of API design, layered architecture and securing endpoints in C#.
Team Agile project: a racing game with a lap system, power-ups and racing mechanics, with CI on GitHub.
A farm-themed racing game built by a team using Agile. Players race around a track with a lap system and power-ups.
I helped coordinate the Agile process and contributed to gameplay development.
Practised Agile teamwork, version control and game development in Unity.
Dispenses food to a target weight using a load cell and servo, with a Raspberry Pi GUI and telemetry.
An automatic feeder that dispenses food until a target weight is reached, with a simple Raspberry Pi interface and feed telemetry.
I built the hardware control and the interface that sets targets and monitors each feed.
Combined sensors, actuators and a GUI into one reliable embedded system.
Performance comparison and benchmarks across std::thread, OpenMP and MPI for compute-heavy workloads.
A study comparing three ways to parallelise compute-heavy work in C++, measuring how each approach scales as the workload grows.
I implemented the same workload three different ways and benchmarked them against each other.
Learned the trade-offs between threading models and how to measure real performance gains.
This portfolio was designed and developed from the ground up using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, without relying on frameworks or page builders. It features a fully responsive layout, modal-based project case studies, and custom scroll-triggered animations built specifically for this site.
It's deployed as a static site and the full source is on GitHub, so feel free to look under the hood.
Personal portfolio
Static, responsive and framework-free, deployed from GitHub.
My Honours research looks at how to keep remote autonomous systems, such as drones and robots, running reliably by watching their health in real time and catching faults before they cause downtime.
Collecting and tracking live health metrics from remote systems as they operate.
Spotting failures and anomalies early, before they turn into bigger problems.
Making sense of streamed sensor and status data to understand system behaviour.
I'm open to graduate and junior software engineering roles, and always happy to chat about a project. The fastest way to reach me is email.
