Rust and systems engineer based in Adelaide, Australia. Twelve years shipping systems where correctness and business outcomes both matter, across search-and-rescue, fintech, aviation, industrial manufacturing and network security.
Available for engagements:
- Rust modernisation: rolling C++/legacy rewrites that ship features while rebuilding the foundations
- Architecture & bottleneck reviews: data planes, concurrency, FFI
- AI-workflow enablement: strong typing and fluent agentic, AI-assisted workflows
- Firezone: cross-platform client engineering on an 8.7k-star open-source zero-trust platform (Swift and Kotlin clients over a shared Rust core, unified FFI bridge).
- AML3D / ARCEMY: live C++ to Rust modernisation of industrial metal 3D-printing control software, delivered without disrupting production.
- 10101 & ItchySats: self-custodial Bitcoin derivatives trading (Rust + Flutter); raised US$750k at a New York accelerator.
- Acacia Systems: mission control system for Australia's search and rescue aircraft fleet, supporting roughly 200 rescues a year since 2018.
Full vertical on purpose: hardware integration and backend through to UIs for desktop, web and mobile. Deepest in systems, but the product is always the point. Best known for Rust, though a language is a tool, not a tribe. Remote worldwide (async with regular live meetings across US and European time zones), on-site across Australia, or hybrid.
