Figma is a collaborative web application for interface design, known for its real-time collaboration capabilities and powerful design tools.
At Figma, I work as a software engineer contributing to the platform's continued success by developing scalable and innovative solutions. Using a diverse set of technologies including TypeScript, React, Ruby, C++, and AWS I help build features that deliver exceptional performance and intuitive user experiences that empower millions of users worldwide..
Nomos One is a leading lease management and lease accounting solution.
At Nomos One I have worked as part of an agile development team creating the next generation of the product. Using AWS technologies such as DynamoDB, Cognito, Lambda, and SQS, I have helped to transform the existing monolith into a modern event-driven micro services architecture.
I have also helped lead development of the new front-end platform. Implementing modern front-end architectural patterns, and technologies such as ReactJS, Typescript, and React Router. This has provided a fast, maintainable, and effective user interface for customers.
Smudge is a leading New Zealand software development company based in Christchurch. It develops high-quality consumer facing and enterprise apps for renowned clients such as Coca-Cola Amatil, and NZ Police.
During my time at Smudge I employed software-engineering development practices such as Scrum, rapid-prototyping and Smudge's intention-based design methodology, to deliver projects that met client requirements.
Smudge's culture is fast-paced and cross-functional meaning that I had the chance to work with the team to build a wide variety of software systems. This helped me to further refine my skills in client-consultation, UI/UX design, mobile development in iOS and Android, and ReactJS web development.
SKOPE is a long-running manufacturer of high quality refrigeration units in Australia and New Zealand.
As a software engineering intern with the company I worked with the Engineering and IT departments to develop a new system to be able to easily monitor and analyse refrigeration data retrieved from units in the field
I spent time evaluating and understanding the existing data acquisition processes to ensure the end result would be able to meet the needs of engineers and testers in the department.
I relied upon modern, and predominately open-source technologies such as Python, JavaScript, NodeJS, HTML, CSS, and Microsoft SQL. These allowed for a light-weight, cost-effective, and maintainable solution.
eStar produces e-commerce solutions for large retail chains such as Country Road Group, Briscoes and Rebel Sport.
As eStar's first-ever intern I worked within the company's scrum environment to develop new features for clients of all sizes.
As my first real-world software development employment, eStar gave me invaluable experience and inspiration. I got to apply technical skills that I had been learning in my studies to adapt the existing C#, XSLT and SQL code-base. It was also my first chance to feel the excitement of seeing work that I had a hand in creating go-live and have an impact on the shopping experience of thousands of customers.
