Immersive Sabbatical
Relocated to Germany for a six-month immersive sabbatical focused on personal development and intensive language acquisition. Successfully achieved the Goethe-Zertifikat B1 and immediately progressed into B2 studies. Navigating a new culture and learning a complex language full-time has sharpened my adaptability, communication skills, and problem-solving resilience.

About Me
Engineering Philosophy
With over four years of experience leading front-end development for Australia’s industrial and mining sectors, I specialise in transitioning large-scale legacy systems to modern web stacks.
I believe in balancing deep technical architecture with cross-team collaboration to build interfaces that are safe, intuitive, and purpose-driven. My recent tech and language sabbatical in Germany has expanded my perspective, blending global web standards with local engineering excellence.
