ABOUT

ME

I’m a 33 year-old digital product developer from New Zealand. I have a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) from the University of Auckland, NZ.

After 6.5 years in London, I've returned to Auckland, New Zealand where I have been working for UK clients, remotely.

Open to Work

My work at Opio on Rocketeer is coming to a close and I'm currently looking for my next opportunity.

I'm open to contract and permanent roles, in-office in NZ/Australia and remotely in other timezones.
