Software developer · Revelstoke, BC

Early-career developer with a systems mindset.

I'm a computer scientist who enjoys digging into unfamiliar systems and building reliable, practical solutions. That curiosity has led me to build a compiler, expand the OpenBSD kernel and explore compression algorithms.

OpenBSD

Kernel Contributor

COMP3301 · University of Queensland
Academic Project

Investigated and fixed a bug in OpenBSD’s memory sharing implementation while working within an unfamiliar production kernel codebase.

Reproduced and documented incorrect behaviour in the kernel’s memory sharing logic.
Traced the issue through the relevant memory-management code with guidance from course tutors.
Implemented and tested a patch that corrected the underlying behaviour.
Submitted the fix upstream, where it was reviewed and incorporated into OpenBSD.

About

I like following problems until I understand how they really work.

I studied computer science and cyber security at the University of Queensland before moving from Australia to Revelstoke, British Columbia. I was drawn here by the mountains and outdoor lifestyle, but I have continued building, studying and contributing to software alongside my work at the resort.

I enjoy problems that reward patience and clear reasoning. Whether I am chasing bugs through a kernel, designing bytecode for a virtual machine, or improving a system used by hotel staff, I want to understand the problem properly and leave behind something reliable.

I am now looking for my first software role on a team where I can learn from experienced engineers, contribute careful technical work, and steadily take on more responsibility.
