// about me

Get to know me

I'm a Software Development Engineer at Amazon, where I work on grocery automation technology that powers fulfillment at scale. I started as an SDE1 in January 2022 and was promoted to SDE2 in July 2024.

Alongside my full-time role, I'm pursuing a Master's in AI/ML at the University of Queensland, building on my undergraduate degree in Information Technology (Software Design) from the same university.

Before Amazon, I spent years in the Minecraft plugin ecosystem — building 30+ plugins, a custom framework, and doing contract development for server networks. That's where I fell in love with software engineering.

I organized and hosted 5 music festival events to raise money for charity. The most recent event in July 2024 was a 2-day festival that raised $1,500 for the TopBlokes Foundation, a charity dedicated to providing mental health support programs to young adults.

Across all 5 events, a total of $6,500 was raised for charity.
