Solutions Engineer based in Melbourne. I build things and explain how they work.
🛠️ I build mostly in TypeScript and Next.js or Svelte.
🧩 I make Chrome extensions to help SEs (like me) run better demos.
📡 I recently built a real-time clientelling dashboard powered by Amperity CDP with live customer data, segment tracking.
🐍 I know enough Python to be (slightly) dangerous.
✍️ Writing a series called AI For The Curious — pragmatic explainers on RAG, MCP, vector databases, and agents with full code examples.
🔧 Building Doppio: a solo-built, multi-cloud real-time engagement platform that sustains 800+ votes/second on a single server over WebSockets with atomic Lua-scripted Redis vote-counting and rule enforcement + Firestore persistence, integrated into Google Slides via an MV3 Chrome extension.
📖 Maintaining a plain-English AI glossary for the concepts I find myself explaining most often.
🧠 Recently completed work on a Fine Tuning project that turns mundane life stories into unhinged LinkedIn-brained posts to help non-experts understand LLM fine-tuning.
🔭 Currently wrapping my head around AI vision models. How to efficiently tune a small model to pick aesthetically pleasing aerial shots from a large body of work based on geolocation, time of day, and altitude.
