Brisbane-based dev moving from the Microsoft Power Platform into full‑stack engineering.
I build with React/Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and PostgreSQL, and I care about clean UX, reliable APIs, and CI/CD. I ship working code and short, practical write-ups.
I'm coming from the Power Platform, where I’ve built solutions using Power Apps, Power Automate, and Dataverse. I combine low-code Power Platform experience with modern front-end development (React + TypeScript) and growing back-end skills to deliver end-to-end solutions. I'm actively transitioning my career into full‑stack development.
- 🔭 Building now:
- Portfolio Tracker — dividends, CSV import, goals & projections
- Dev Standards — reusable ESLint/TS/testing/changelog presets
- SaaS Starter — Next.js template with Auth.js + RBAC + tests
- 🎯 2025 focus: ship public code, tighten testing, and land a full-stack role
- 📚 Studying: PL-200 → PL-400 → AZ-204 (developer + cloud path)

- Website (Payload + Next.js) — Projects, Case Studies, Contact
- Dev Standards (monorepo)
In Progress— eslint/tsconfig/commitlint/testing presets; CI templates - Portfolio Tracker (Next + Node + Postgres) — auth + CRUD → CSV import → projections → goals
- Quick Win — small, visual app (Weather/Habits/FX) for demos
- SaaS Starter — “Use this template” repo with tests
- Node Automation Service — webhook → queue (BullMQ) → retry/backoff; logs + health
I prefer to show real code and why I built it. Case studies will land on my site as each project goes live.
