About

A software engineer who builds small-business websites.

By day I'm a software engineer at Canva; the rest of the time I build fast, hand-coded websites and automations for Australian service businesses. The same engineering standards that go into software at scale, applied to a market that's usually handed a template and a login.

Engineer at Canva

I work as a software engineer at Canva — building consumer software at real scale. Those standards carry into every site I build.

Formally trained

Trained as a developer at Coder Academy, working as a software engineer professionally — hand-written code, not a side hobby with a page builder.

Genuinely hands-on

I write every site myself, from scratch. No outsourcing, no template, no account manager between you and the person building your site.

Why I do this

Most small businesses get one of two options: a cheap template that looks like everyone else's and loads slowly, or an expensive agency that wraps a simple website in project managers and overhead. Neither sat right with me.

So I do the thing in the middle — a custom, hand-coded site built to the same standard as the software I work on professionally, at a fixed price, dealing directly with the one person who's actually building it. No WordPress, no drag-and-drop, no surprise invoices.

More than a website

Because I'm an engineer, I can do things a typical web designer can't:

  • Connect your site to your CRM.
  • Build a custom quote flow.
  • Wire up an automation that saves you hours a week.

The website is often just the start. And because it's just me, you get straight answers, a fixed quote within 48 hours, and someone who's still around after launch — not a support-ticket queue.

Questions

Yes. I'm Sydney-based but work with businesses right across Australia — Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and beyond — entirely remotely.

Absolutely — the work page has live client builds across health, finance, property, and construction.
