About

I'm a hands-on founder based in Brisbane. I split my time between writing code and being on-site with our team—hanging LED panels, tuning audio, and making sure the tech disappears behind a seamless guest experience.

At VenueVue, I lead product and engineering. We design and run a platform for digital signage, LED video walls, IPTV, and venue automation—with an obsessive focus on reliability because our customers run live venues where things have to work.

We support multi-site venues across Australia—game days, live shows, and full trading weeks—where downtime isn’t an option.

Before VenueVue I taught myself to code to solve practical problems upon request from my clients. That maker streak still shows up in how we build: simple, observable systems that are easy to fix at 1am after a big game or a live show.
