About Me

I have spent my career working at Amazon within the developer tooling space. Prior to Amazon, I was a student at UNSW Sydney studying Computer Science and Economics.

Technologies

I am quite familiar with internal tooling at Amazon :) At Amazon, I work entirely on backend systems used internally by engineers across the company. Outside of Amazon I do like to spend my time experimenting with different programming languages and building toy applications that are not meant for widespread usage. Here is a list of technologies I use on a weekly basis:

  • Java - JRE 8+, Python and Typescript
  • Docker
  • CloudFormation
  • ECS Fargate
  • Lambda
  • DynamoDB
  • Infrastructure as code: AWS CDK

When not at work I like to use technologies like Haskell, and more recently new JS frameworks like SvelteKit.

Hobbies

When not programming, I can be found doing hikes around Sydney and enjoying trying to complete my evergrowing Steam library ðŸ«
