About

I turn ambiguous problems into shipped, working software.

I'm a full stack engineer building web and mobile apps in TypeScript, React, Next.js and React Native, backed by Node.js, Python, PostgreSQL and Google Cloud. I also build the AI that goes into them: LangGraph agents, RAG and voice AI.

  • Products built and shipped: 3 (Accustom · AI Recep · SessionPilot)
  • AI agent workflows orchestrated: 30+ (SessionPilot · n8n · LangChain)
  • Open to full-time roles: Now (Melbourne · Full working rights)

Off the clock: Drone engineering, Autonomous flight, Offshore sailing, Linux, Self-hosted infra.

Projects

AI Recep: A voice AI that answers, books, and quotes pest control calls.

Voice AI Agent · Dec 2025 – Feb 2026 · Completed · LangGraph, FastAPI, ElevenLabs, Claude, pgvector, React Flow, ServiceM8

When RF Pest Management’s phone rings, an AI agent picks up. It identifies the caller, books or reschedules a technician, quotes the job from the client’s price list and texts a confirmation. A live graph on screen shows which agent is handling the call. Designed for 50–200 calls a month and handed over to the client as a pilot-ready MVP.

Under the hood

  • Four LangGraph agents (triage/CRM, dispatch, quoting, post-call comms) hand off calls through schema-validated tool calls
  • ElevenLabs Scribe v2 Realtime transcribes the caller and Flash v2.5 speaks back, both over one WebSocket carrying audio and telemetry
  • Claude Sonnet 5 plans triage, dispatch and comms; Opus 5 handles quoting, grounded by a pgvector knowledge base of the client’s price list
  • React Flow renders the live agent graph during the call, driven by the backend’s event stream
  • PostgreSQL schema and migrations for calls, bookings and quotes; every ServiceM8 write is validated first
  • FastAPI backend in Docker on Google Cloud Run; an access code is exchanged for a signed token before the WebSocket opens

SessionPilot: An AI scribe and check-in caller for therapy practices.

B2B SaaS · Apr 2026 · Completed · React, LangChain, n8n, pgvector, PostgreSQL, Cloud Run, ElevenLabs

SessionPilot transcribes therapy sessions and drafts the clinical note from the transcript, so therapists don’t have to write notes up afterwards. It also phones clients between appointments to check in, and flags anything worrying to the therapist.

Under the hood

  • Two products on one data model: Scribe drafts the note, Calls runs the check-in phone calls
  • 30+ configurable agent workflows orchestrated across n8n and LangChain, with the agent services in Docker on Cloud Run
  • PostgreSQL schema and migrations for app data, with pgvector RAG over each client’s history
  • LangGraph agents (LangChain + Gemini) plan each call and verify its outcome afterwards
  • The ElevenLabs voice agent calls server-side tools mid-call to log findings and escalate risk
  • Google Cloud Speech transcribes sessions; Twilio carrier status reconciles missing webhooks
  • React 19 and Vite front end; built with a collaborator in agile sprints, with PR reviews and end-to-end tests

Accustom: Put money on the line to actually finish what you start.

Installable PWA · Nov 2025 – Sep 2026 · Completed · React Native, Expo, TypeScript, Firebase, Solidity, Base, Privy

A habit app where you stake money on your goals. You check in each day with a photo or a run. Finish the challenge and you keep your stake, plus a share of what the people who dropped out forfeited.

Under the hood

  • One React Native + Expo codebase ships as a responsive, installable PWA and a native Android build
  • Node.js/TypeScript backend on serverless Google Cloud Functions: webhooks, Firestore triggers and queued jobs handle scheduling, moderation, settlement and payouts
  • Stakes are held in USDC by a reentrancy-guarded escrow contract on Base; all timing logic lives in Cloud Scheduler
  • Privy embedded wallets, so users don’t manage a seed phrase; Meld handles the card-to-USDC on-ramp
  • Timezone-aware crons close each day from UTC−8 to UTC+14; the 12% fee split is computed server-side
  • GitHub Actions runs end-to-end tests and 1,277 unit, contract and integration tests on every pull request, against a local chain and the Firestore emulator

Architecture diagram: An interactive diagram of the whole platform: the three sites, the Firebase backend, the wallet and escrow on Base, and every outside service, with who calls what.

Park Find: Real-time parking availability on a map.

Mobile App · Sep 2025 · Completed · React Native, Expo, TypeScript, Google Places API

Park Find predicts which parking spaces are free and shows them on a map. Built with a team of AI and business systems students in Monash’s industry experience program.

Under the hood

  • React Native and Expo app written in strict TypeScript
  • Google Places data, custom routing and live parking sensor webhooks combine to predict free spaces on a map
  • Built in agile sprints with a team of AI and business systems students, testing each release

GitHub

CertiFie: Blockchain certificate issuance and verification.

Web3 / DApp · Completed · React, Solidity, Ethereum, IPFS, Web3.js, Tailwind CSS

An institution issues a certificate, and anyone can check it is genuine by uploading the file or pasting its ID. Revoked certificates show as revoked.

CertiFie landing page with cards for the admin dashboard, the issuer dashboard and the verification portal.
The landing page, with a way in for admins, for issuers and for anyone verifying a certificate.
CertiFie admin dashboard showing one verified issuer and its five certificates, two of them revoked.
The admin dashboard. Admins approve issuers, see every certificate an issuer has put out, and can revoke an issuer.
CertiFie issuer dashboard with a MetaMask confirmation open on Sepolia, above lists of issued and revoked certificates.
Issuing a certificate. The PDF is pinned to IPFS and its hash goes on-chain on Sepolia through a MetaMask transaction. Duplicates are rejected, and an issuer can revoke what it has issued.
CertiFie verification page showing one certificate found valid by its hash and an uploaded file reported as revoked.
Verifying a certificate, by its hash or by uploading the file. Here the first is valid and from an approved issuer, and the second has been revoked.

Under the hood

  • Solidity contracts on Ethereum Sepolia record hashes for issuance, verification and revocation
  • Documents are pinned to IPFS; only the hash is stored on-chain
  • React and Web3.js front end verifies by hash, or by re-hashing an uploaded file
  • Tailwind CSS interface for both the issuer and verifier flows

Experience

Software Engineer, Accustom

Nov 2025 – Sep 2026 · 11 mos · Self-founded · Melbourne, Australia

Self-founded product: a habit app where users stake money on their goals

Skills: TypeScript, React, Node.js, React Native, Expo, Next.js, Google Cloud, Firebase, Solidity, Stripe, GitHub Actions, CI/CD

  • Built a design system and three TypeScript frontends: a responsive Expo PWA (React Native Web), a React admin dashboard and a marketing site migrated from Vite to Next.js (both on Tailwind).
  • Wrote the Node.js/TypeScript backend on serverless Google Cloud Functions (webhooks, Firestore triggers, queued jobs), plus OAuth-bridged Privy and Firebase Auth, and per-user isolation in Firestore and Storage rules.
  • Reconciled Stripe, RevenueCat and PayPal into one idempotent payout ledger, plus a settlement engine on timezone-aware Cloud Scheduler jobs deciding refunds and forfeits, with payout locks so retries could not double pay.
  • Migrated stake custody from fiat processors to a reentrancy-guarded escrow smart contract on Base (Solidity, OpenZeppelin, Hardhat), deployed to Base Sepolia and mainnet.
  • Set up GitHub Actions CI across all three repos. On the main app, every pull request ran end-to-end tests and 1,277 unit, contract and integration tests (Jest, Hardhat) against a local chain and the Firestore emulator.
  • Owned production support. When a main-branch deploy silently undid live fixes, cherry-picked them back, then moved backend and frontend deploys into CI/CD so only tested, approved builds reached Google Cloud and Netlify.
  • Launched publicly, with real users staking their own money and making 36 of 39 due check-ins.
