One of the things I've enjoyed most about my journey at CommBank is being part of CommBank Yello — a program built around a simple idea: recognise customers for the way they bank and turn that relationship into something meaningful.
And the journey isn't just about technology. Some of my most rewarding moments have come from mentoring colleagues and junior engineers, sharing what I've learned, helping others grow, and learning from them in return.
For me, great engineering sits somewhere between curiosity and impact — having the technical depth to build things well, the creativity to imagine what could be possible, and the humility to keep learning.
I'm excited about what comes next. The technology landscape is changing incredibly quickly, and I want to be part of shaping that change — building smarter products, exploring the possibilities of AI, empowering the people around me, and creating technology that doesn't just work, but makes a difference.

I pursued my post-graduate studies at the Parramatta campus of Western Sydney University, specializing in Web Engineering. The one-year program provided me with an in-depth understanding of the software development lifecycle, including analysis, design, development, testing, and maintenance. Additionally, I honed my networking skills and gained valuable experience in project management, which included planning, execution, and monitoring of projects. This experience has been instrumental in shaping my career in the field of web engineering.
I enrolled at Southern Cross University with transfer credits for my bachelor's degree in applied computing. My time at SCU allowed me to develop not only as a software developer but also as a team leader. I gained comprehensive knowledge of project management and learned how to deliver projects on time and within budget.

I'm passionate about discovering the world—whether it's through the pages of a great book or by setting off on new adventures. When I'm not lost in a novel or planning my next trip, you'll often find me tending to my garden or caring for my fish tanks—two hobbies that keep me grounded, creative, and connected with nature.
