Summary

Hi! Thanks for reading this far. A little about me:

I am ambitious and focused on writing quality software that makes a positive contribution in the world. Professionally, I like to get things done, both as a collaborator and individual contributor. Socially, I'm quiet, relaxed and make use of New Zealand's renowned dry wit. Technology excites and drives me: keeping my brain busy with challenges and new learnings is important to my professional and personal growth.

Elixir has been a technology passion for me for 5 years now, and I would like to align its use with working on a product that makes the world better.

I love dogs and sim racing.
