Full-stack engineer in New Zealand · Systems integration · Developer tools · AI-assisted delivery
I build practical software around messy real-world systems: product data, commerce workflows, ERP integrations, API contracts, internal tools, and local developer tooling.
- Building integration-heavy platforms at Brittain Wynyard across product data, workflow automation, cloud services, and operational tooling.
- Shipping RequestLab, a native macOS API client for REST and GraphQL workflows.
- Developing commercial product experiments where engineering, packaging, docs, and release quality all matter.
- Using AI agents as part of the engineering workflow, especially for repo discovery, validation, and delivery automation.
- request-lab - Native macOS API client for REST and GraphQL, built with SwiftUI and Swift Package Manager.
- meili-ui - TypeScript UI work around Meilisearch integration.
- openclaw-asana-skill - Asana skill for OAuth-backed project/task search, comments, updates, and completion.
- clawdbot-hyperliquid-skill - Read-only Hyperliquid assistant for market data and account views.
- Riviera Theme - Commercial WordPress theme and companion plugin focused on Elementor-first site building, guided setup, and production-ready demo import.
- Clear ownership boundaries between UI, API, orchestration, persistence, and external systems.
- Backend truth over frontend guesses when behavior is ambiguous.
- Small, verifiable changes with tests, scripts, or runtime evidence.
- Tooling that removes repeated manual work instead of adding process overhead.
- Interfaces that are useful under real operational pressure, not just clean in screenshots.
