I'm a full-stack engineer based in Melbourne, Australia. I build web experiences end to end — pixel-level frontend craft on one side, APIs, data models and event pipelines on the other.

What gets me working late isn't the framework of the week; it's interesting ideas and problems that put up a fight. The kind where the obvious solution is wrong and the right one is worth writing home about.

If you have an ambitious idea and want it built fast, solid and unlike anything template-shaped — we should talk.

meterd — usage & billing API

Multi-tenant usage metering in the Stripe mold: track per-user API calls, storage and compute, enforce plan limits in real time, and watch the dashboard move as you hit them.

  • JWT auth with access + refresh tokens and tiered role claims
  • per-plan rate limiting — token bucket on Redis
  • structured JSON logs feeding a live usage-trends dashboard

orderflow — event-driven order pipeline

Orders are accepted in milliseconds; payment, inventory, email and shipping each happen asynchronously in independent workers. Place an order and trace it through every service, live.

  • OrderCreated events fan out over RabbitMQ to single-purpose workers
  • correlation IDs trace one order across every service
  • dead-letter queue + retry logic for failed payments
