Here are some things I've worked on...













Hinge Health

Employee

A many sided app for patients, physiotherapists and admins. I mainly worked on the React Native mobile application for the patient users. But I also worked on our Rails and Typescript microservices. I helped build in-app video conferencing, rate limiting, a11y features, user SMSing and our split flag testing architecture.

Atrium

Employee

React, Typescript, Rails and GraphQL app. Two sided app for both lawyers and legal clients. I worked on the component library, roles & permissions system, billing system, internal trello clone, onboarding, etc. Atrium went under after 2 years. Bad business model.

Small Change

Cofounder

Rails app that enables you to put donate buttons on articles and videos. The money goes to charity. Quit after 1 year. It wasn't really solving anyone's problem.

Dutton or Dictator

Activism

Dutton or Dictator is satirical political game where the user has to pick whether the quote was said by Peter Dutton or a famous dictator from history. Did it because I suspected it'd be very click baity.

Action Bar

In the Media

I wrote an article for the Australian Financial Review chronicling the overt sexism I saw whilst working in venture capital.

The Daily Telegraph wrote a piece about Small Change. It described our frustration with 'slacktivism' and how we were trying to fix it.

New Matilda covered Dutton or Dictator. In hindsight, I kind of regret this - it's not like the internet needs more clickbait.
