About

Background

I'm an IT professional with 14+ years of experience spanning web development, technical support, networking, and cloud infrastructure. My career has covered both sides of IT — building and maintaining client websites on stacks like Ruby on Rails, while also delivering hands-on support across hardware, Microsoft 365 environments, Windows Server, and network infrastructure.

More recently I've leaned into AI-assisted development, using Claude Code and Cursor IDE in day-to-day projects to accelerate delivery and improve output quality. I'm looking to move into roles where practical experience applying LLMs to real workflows adds immediate value.

I hold a BSc in Information Technology from UTS, majoring in Enterprise Systems Development. Outside of work — gaming, heavy music, history, and tinkering with my home lab.

Terra Cognita ↗

A dynamic overhaul of the fog-of-war system in Europa Universalis V. Replaces static geographic knowledge with a rule-based model where nations discover the world through neighbours, trade partners, allies, and enemies — reflecting how knowledge actually spread historically.
