Staff Software Engineer

Mobile engineer at heart with 10+ years building across Android, iOS, and Flutter. Career has spanned fintech, security, and enterprise software, which expanded into game SDKs and platform engineering. Outside of work, founded a Flutter finance app now used by 300,000+ people worldwide.

Staff Software Engineer / Stream Lead

Web3 gaming platform (AUD $3.5B valuation, 700+ games) • November 2021 – Present

Joined as a mobile engineer and expanded across the full stack as the company scaled and pivoted.

Stream Lead (current)

• Define strategy and roadmap for the stream; align with wider team on scope and dependencies; delegate implementation to engineers while remaining hands-on as an IC
• Led delivery of the audience tracking suite from greenfield to production: tracking pixel, Web SDK, Unity SDK for PC, conversion postbacks v1, and a mobile extension to the Unity SDK. The full suite shipped in approximately 30 days following a competitive analysis against incumbent tools
• Own QA and DevOps for the stream, working across TypeScript, Go, C#, Terraform, GitHub Actions, and AWS
• Own the end-to-end release process and CI/CD pipelines for the stream using GitHub Actions, covering tests, lint, and release workflows
• Mentor engineers through design reviews, code reviews, and technical guidance
• Monitor platform observability using New Relic, covering logging and metrics

Platform & Web3

• Built backend authentication flows including device code, extending and hardening them over time for improved security
• Contributed to Bring Your Own Auth (BYOA), enabling game studios to use their own identity providers
• Contributed to the multichain support initiative, expanding wallet capabilities across multiple blockchains

Game SDK Engineering

• Implemented PKCE-based authentication for game SDKs, including deep linking support across platforms to handle OAuth redirect flows, with custom work for Windows beyond mobile and Mac defaults
• Designed and implemented the architecture bridging Unity and Unreal game engines with a TypeScript SDK core: a shared base layer executed via an invisible WebView, with engine-specific communication layers in C# (Unity) and C++ (Unreal), enabling consistent cross-engine SDK behaviour from a single TypeScript codebase
• Conducted R&D on integrating web technologies with game engines; took the architecture from a POC to production where it has since been used across multiple SDKs
• Developed sample games to surface performance and usability issues early in the SDK lifecycle
• Wrote automated tests for the Game SDKs to ensure reliability across engine integrations
• Wrote native bridging code in Kotlin, Java, and Objective-C to integrate the WebView-based SDK layer with native Android and iOS capabilities

Mobile SDK Engineering

• Built the Kotlin Core and Wallet SDK (native Android/JVM), publicly available on GitHub
• Built POCs across Kotlin Multiplatform, React Native, Flutter, and Unity to assess technical feasibility for mobile product directions
• Led mobile product discovery: security and UX analysis of WebView vs embedded browser approaches, design support, and technical spikes

Co-Founder & Lead Engineer

Self-founded personal finance app • August 2022 – Present

• Designed and built the first version of the app from scratch during a sabbatical; a manual-first personal finance app for iOS and Android focused on conscious spending habits
• Grew to 300,000+ users worldwide; revenue-generating, driven almost entirely by organic App Store growth
• Architected an offline-first, multi-device sync system that prioritises reliability and speed as a habit-reinforcement mechanism
• Integrated open banking via Fiskil (Australia) and Plaid (US/Canada); designed a manual-first trust model where bank sync is opt-in rather than the default
• Built with a modular architecture from the ground up, enabling clean separation of features and independent iteration
• Monitor and optimise app performance including profiling, ANR analysis, and bundle size
