I moved to Austin, TX to focus on integrations with Mr Yum’s US based partners.See more below ▼▼

Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

I joined Mr Yum as an early engineer and contributed significantly to the core platform’s development. My primary focus revolved around forging seamless integrations with third-party partners (we were served almost every flavour of API). Working alongside a skilled team of developers, I utilized diverse technologies like TypeScript, React, Node.js, NestJS, GraphQL, Terraform, and AWS to power multiple products. One of my key contributions involved starting the process of strategically dismantling our monolithic system into more agile, focused services. This began by modularizing the integrations service, paving the way for increased scalability and agility.During my tenure, Mr Yum achieved a major milestone by securing Australia’s third-largest Series A funding round in 2021, amounting to an impressive $65 million USD.

I worked in several teams across a number of projects during my time at Xero in Melbourne. Whenever approached about joining a new project, I jumped at the chance for a new challenge and the opportunity to grow myself. I worked remotely during my last eight months of employment.I worked on the core Xero web app during my first year at Xero. I was involved in the development and release of features such as fixed assets, quotes, two-factor authentication and batch provisioning. I also helped out with bug-fixing and maintenance etc. whenever required.I worked on the Xero TaxTouch iOS app during my last eighteen months at Xero. I was a key player throughout all aspects of the project - from initial designs to development to release and production support. TaxTouch was an exciting project working with internal and external teams across different timezones. I gained invaluable experience going through the process of building an iOS app from conception to release and working with many new technologies.

I worked at Telogis as a Software Engineer on the enterprise fleet management SaaS ‘Telogis Fleet’. The majority of my work was in .NET, Javascript and PostgreSQL using an agile development process (Kanban) with thorough testing. My role included a leadership aspect which involved mentoring new staff members on my team, delegating tasks and reviewing code/performance.I worked on new feature design/implementation, general bugfixing and optimization of the Telogis Fleet backend, along with interprocess communication between many of Telogis’ server side processes.I also worked on the Telogis Fleet UI, redesigning and re-implementing interfaces using the Javascript framework Ext JS. I also created several custom Ext JS components which are used in other Telogis products.In July/August 2013, I spent five weeks at another Telogis development office in Austin, Texas, USA on a developer exchange. The work was at a lower level of the Telogis stack than my usual role and included working on Telogis’ server side processes. These processes received raw UDP packets containing GPS and diagnostic information from vehicles and converted them into a useful and standardized format. I also created an integral monitoring service for these processes.

I founded Kiwi Development to further my skills in software and web development and to learn the foundations of running a business. Kiwi Development was accepted into the Microsoft Bizspark program for young tech startups. I undertook both web and software development work for multiple clients using .NET, Ruby on Rails and Javascript.One major client was ‘The Inzone Experience’ where I was in charge of their systems.
