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 a high-growth SAAS product, FormTab, in 2012 and successfully selling in 2019. I've worked with major international brands over the years - including Unilever, Nike, Nokia, Universal Music and John Deere - and with well-known NZ brands such as PGG Wrightson, Spark and Ngāi Tahu Tourism.
I presently work at Motorcentral Technologies building car-dealer and fintech software for my day job. 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). I have also developed some apps on the side (Kawhe Apps).
