About Me

I'm a former musician currently working at Amazon as a software engineer, bringing creative solutions to modern technological challenges.

I'm interested in all things tech and have worked on projects from embedded systems, to big data & machine learning, all the way to standard web & mobile development. I'm also currently an independent consultant at block.one. I pride myself on my ability to pick up new tech quickly, so if you've got a project that doesn't involve one of these skills, don't hesitate to get in touch.

I've always wanted to teach online, and when EOSIO launched in 2018 I jumped at my chance to be the first to market with a course teaching it's development. That first mover advantage paid off and it's given me the opportunity to teach EOSIO development to over 700 students worldwide, while maintaining a 4-star rating for the course.
