I'm a Staff Engineer. I like to build interesting things:
products,
open-source tools, and
writing about the work. I work on
platform infrastructure, distributed systems, and the tooling that
makes engineering teams faster. Currently based in Melbourne.
You'll find longer pieces in the blog,
smaller things in notes, and
the projects I've been building on
projects. The
/now page has a more current snapshot
of what I'm working on.
Now
Creating a new agentic browser with features not yet seen in the industry. Very exciting.
Reading Designing Data-Intensive Applications for the third time, slowly.
Building a second brain in Obsidian — local vault and an enterprise layer for the team.
Helping a friend ship their first Go service to production.
Trying to learn one new thing a week and write about it.
