Lead the development and design of a mobile application that allows boat owners to find races to attend and crew to join them. Skippers can view a potential crew member's skill, chat to them through the app and then invite them and see the status of their attendance.

Technical Lead

I set up the Foundbite service in 2013 with the aim to encourage people to share and explore experiences with one another using a combination of still photos and sound at a time when phone microphones were beginning to get good enough to record some really high quality audio.

The app started life on Windows Phone with funding from Microsoft and Nokia, and over the course of the next few years expanded to iPhone and Android with the help of Sony Mobile and the backing of IdeaLab. Our small team built an app that was downloaded over a quarter of a million times, embraced by a loyal band of followers from all across the world. Users uploaded foundbites covering a range of amazing events including political protests in Ukraine, the Olympics in Brazil and wildlife conservation efforts in Australia (to name a few).

Founder & Lead Developer

Building software products for a range of businesses including startups, agencies and larger tech companies.

Freelance Software Engineer

I joined R/GA on a short term contract to build complex XAML animations for Nokia's mobile devices. These animations were displayed in phone stores and functioned as an attractive screensaver to avoid screen burn damaging the devices' screens.

After building several animations for Nokia launches, I continued working at R/GA alongside work I was doing on my own startup, Foundbite. For the rest of my time there I worked with a cross-functional team developing experiences and apps for Microsoft product launches.

Software Engineer

The music industry is phenomenally hard to break into and tough for music producers to get constructive feedback out of. Audiu helps solve this by providing a platform across web and mobile that allows music creators to upload their tracks and get valuable feedback from industry experts and the Audiu community, and provides a way for music-lovers to discover new music and follow its development.

I spent three months with the Audiu team in early 2017 helping to design and build the first versions of their apps on iPhone and Android using Xamarin Forms. The app has been a hit with the artists and has boosted conversation and interaction around new tracks uploaded to the service since launch.

Mobile Developer

Helped develop a Python-based risk management system to monitor trading strategies and make real time adjustments to limit exposure. Developed a framework to allow strategies and scripts to run continuously with robust error alerts and reporting should anything go wrong.

Currently building a web automation platform that lets developers control cloud-hosted browsers through simple API calls. Our technology enables programmatic web interactions for data collection, AI agent integration, and automated testing. Gaffa is transforming how developers and AI agents interact with the web programmatically.

After completely redesigning the product I lead a team of 5 rebuilding using modern principles and technologies over 8 months.
