Building things that
matter.

I'm an entrepreneur, cyber security specialist, and full stack developer based in Sydney, Australia. I started my career bridging the gap between business strategy and technical security, and today I protect critical financial infrastructure at the Reserve Bank of Australia.

I hold a Bachelor of Information Technology from UTS, sub-majoring in Networking and Cyber Security, where I graduated with the University Medal and a near-perfect GPA through the selective Co-operative Scholarship Program. I combine that foundation with hands-on engineering experience across cloud security, full-stack development, and artificial intelligence.

Outside the screen, I train Muay Thai and calisthenics - disciplines that sharpen focus, resilience, and the drive to keep levelling up.

Discipline carries over.

The same mindset that drives my work fuels my training. Consistency, resilience, and always pushing limits.

🥊

Muay Thai

The art of eight limbs. Muay Thai is where I sharpen mental toughness and stay grounded. Every session is a reminder that growth lives on the other side of discomfort - a principle that translates directly to building businesses and solving hard problems.

Calisthenics

Bodyweight mastery is the ultimate test of patience and progressive overload. From levers to muscle-ups, calisthenics teaches you that consistent small improvements compound into serious results - the same approach I take with every project I build.
