Strengths
Interested in working involving
I’m looking for a role where I can combine my skills in AI tools, coding, and user-centered design. I’m especially interested in opportunities that allow me to prototype and build, run usability tests, and continuously improve products based on real user feedback. Ideally, I’d be contributing to meaningful, ethical tech that values both innovation and accessibility.
Not interested in work involving
I avoid work related to military applications or any projects where there’s a risk of harm to individuals or communities. I’m passionate about ethical design and prefer to focus on technologies that have a clear benefit to people’s lives.

I've successfully led projects and recently launched Hackeroos for Aussie hackathons to empower underrepresented builders. I'm particularly interested in innovative roles within internet companies, games, fintech, AI, or more. Anywhere that creativity, security, and positive impact intersect.

Work experience
Proudest professional achievement
Earlier in my career, I led the UX rebrand of Gfycat, which helped double its user base. My design was later reused for a sister site, and I contributed to patent-backed features that led to licensing deals. I also created partnership demos and board-facing pitch decks that supported the company’s eventual acquisition by Snapchat.
