Kitchen to Code
I traded the chef's knife for JavaScript. My journey isn't typical, but the discipline I learned leading kitchens makes me a more resilient engineer today.
IT Graduation
Central Queensland University
"Laid the foundation of my technical knowledge with a Bachelor's in IT."
The First Step
Web Intern & Designer
"Maintained and implemented updates on an eCommerce website using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, gaining practical frontend experience."
Digital Designer & Developer
Coco Earth
"Worked on eCommerce platforms, creating product mockups, labels, animations, and marketing content — blending design sense with code."
Leadership in the Heat
Granata's
"When life required it, I stepped into the kitchen. I led teams of 15+ in high-pressure environments, mastering discipline that I now bring to code."
React Developer
Full-Stack Mastery
"Coming home to tech. Building performant apps with Next.js, TypeScript, and AI Integration."
The Comeback
While working 60+ hours/week as Head Chef, I dedicated every spare moment to mastering React, Next.js, JavaScript, and Tailwind CSS. I didn’t just learn to code — I built projects, solved problems, and reclaimed my path in tech.
Beyond the Code
Passionate about fitness, weight training, and healthy living, I also love traveling, photography, exploring tech gadgets, and learning new skills through side projects.
