Software Engineering Student

Building practical AI tools, full-stack systems, and automation software. I care about building things that work, not just things that look impressive.

About me

I didn't get into engineering because it sounded impressive. I got into it because I enjoy taking a messy, manual problem and building something that handles it cleanly. Most of my projects start with a frustration I noticed, a tool that didn't exist, or a system I wanted to understand deeply enough to rebuild.

Right now I'm particularly interested in where AI genuinely improves software — not as a buzzword, but as a practical layer that makes products smarter. My work with conversational AI on EVAT taught me that useful AI means obsessing over the user's actual problem, not the technology stack.

I learn by building. I care about maintainability. I'd rather ship something working than architect something perfect.

Story

2022
  • Enrolled in Bachelor of Software Engineering (Honours) at Deakin University.
2023
  • QA Assistant at Deakin — automated 40% of manual test cases for internal systems.
  • Deakin Hack 2023 — built NodeMap prototype in 48 hours, placed top 3 from 20+ teams.
  • Started building side projects to apply what I was learning outside of assessments.
2024
  • App Team Lead at Deakin — led 5 developers, shipped 2 internal tools to production.
  • Built NodeMap into a full dependency visualisation tool beyond the hackathon prototype.
  • Built Cosmax LIMS — replaced 11 spreadsheets for a cosmetics laboratory, first time owning a full production schema.
  • Built GridRace to deeply understand WebSocket architecture and real-time state sync.
2025
  • Deeper exploration of AI integration: LangChain, OpenAI API, and practical prompt engineering.
  • Studying how AI layers fit into existing software architectures rather than replacing them.
2026
  • Final year of Software Engineering (Honours).
  • Seeking Software Engineering or AI Engineering internship.
  • Interested in teams building real products where I can contribute to production systems from day one.
