About
I am a penultimate-year software engineering student at Macquarie University (WAM 91.5), with a strong interest in systems programming, developer tooling, and self-hosted infrastructure.
I enjoy building things that are well-engineered and close to the metal — from LED matrix flight trackers in C++ to self-hosted home automation stacks. Outside of coursework I compete in programming contests and continuously tinker with my home lab.
