Systems Engineer · Flutter Developer · Automation Builder · Sole Trader
I've spent the better part of a decade finding problems that weren't assigned to me, and building solutions that weren't asked for. The Electron app nobody commissioned. The Flutter app built in personal time that landed a major deal. The IVR system built because there wasn't one. That's how I work — I don't wait for permission, I take ownership.
Principles in practice.
“If you want to shine like a star, burn like a sun first.”
“Better to ask for forgiveness than permission.”
“Don't clear the ticket. Kill the problem.”
“Your title is what they gave you. Your work is what you chose.”
“The best resource is the one you build yourself.”
“Ship it in your free time. Own it forever.”
“Learn the tool. Then question if the tool is right.”
“One person with full ownership beats a team with none.”
How I work
Root Cause Thinking
I don't clear tickets. I find what created them and eliminate the source.
Ownership
If I see it, I own it. The Electron app nobody commissioned. The Flutter app nobody asked for.
Resourcefulness
Free Azure tenant to test SSO. Free tier WHS system at enterprise scale. Home lab before production Kubernetes.
Leadership & Mentoring
Trained and mentored the junior engineer through the Damstra acquisition transition.
Product Thinking
I see the business problem behind the technical one.
Self-Directed Learning
AWS Connect with no prior experience. Golang on the job. SSO traced from source code.
Knowledge Leadership
When I learn something nobody else knows, I document it and share it.
Bias for Action
Research → build → tell someone. The pattern repeats across every episode.
