I'm based in the city of Ōtautahi Christchurch, in Aotearoa New Zealand. I'm originally from Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland and have family roots in Kaikōura (Kāti Kuri).
I have a track record in early-stage SaaS product development since 2002, including co-founding FormTab in 2012 and successfully exiting in 2019. I've worked with major international brands over the years — including Unilever, Nike, Nokia, Universal Music, and John Deere — as well as well-known NZ brands such as PGG Wrightson, Spark, and Ngāi Tahu Tourism.
I presently work at Motorcentral Technologies and Avanti Finance building auto industry and fintech software. In addition to that, I provide IT consultancy and app development to non-profits and hi-tech startups on a part-time basis (Below 43 and Qaior). I have also developed a number of apps independently (Waka Apps).
