Who I Am

I'm a Senior Full-Stack Engineer with 11+ years delivering enterprise-grade software across gaming, EdTech, and AI-powered translation platforms.

Currently at Straker Translation in Auckland, I architect systems that intelligently route across GPT-4.1, Claude, and DeepSeek — balancing quality and cost at enterprise scale.

I lead with empathy and ship with precision — mentoring teams, upholding engineering standards, and building things that actually last.
