Hi! I'm a software engineer based in Sydney, Australia.
I save companies money by radically simplifying existing systems, and writing new systems clear enough to fit in one person's head. I slash cloud costs and get projects over the finish line on-budget and on-time.
My main expertise is developing networked systems in Go (golang), primarily in the broadcast and streaming space. I'm OK dropping in frontend (React) and DevOps/Sysadmin (Terraform, Ansible).
But what I'm most proud of is communication, because it's helped break down barriers and helped teams have fun again.
“Show don't tell”, apparently. See my livestreamed series Low-level streaming protocols in Go. These attracted over 3000 subscribers in just a few weeks—and growing?!
Communication with managers and stakeholders is crucial to keep systems small and projects on-track. Documentation and testing are part of the process, not an afterthought.
