Developer in Melbourne. Twelve years at ANZ, the last six as an RPA Developer / Platform Support Engineer (until December 2025). Now I ship full-stack Python services, native macOS in Swift, and embedded C/C++ on RP2040 and ESP32-S3, usually with each other on the other end of an MQTT topic.
Currently open to work: full-stack, automation/RPA, embedded-adjacent.
Tesserae: composable e-ink dashboard platform. Plugin-architected renderers and devices, 30 bundled widgets plus a community catalog of opt-in bundles, MQTT auto-discovery across multiple panels, Docker + bare-metal installers, docs site. My main project; the full ecosystem is grouped below.
OpenBanking Finance: self-hosted FastAPI dashboard ingesting Australian CDR transactions via Redbark. SQLModel persistence, rate-limit-aware async client, Decimal-precision money, six tabs of charts.
Claude Usage: native macOS menu-bar app for Claude Code budgets. Reads the OAuth token from Keychain, calls Anthropic's usage endpoint, publishes the result to MQTT for Home Assistant.
VFD Desk HUD: Pi Pico W driving a 256×50 GP1287BI vacuum-fluorescent panel. 11 pages, OTA flashing, custom u8g2 fork for the BI controller, ~20 fps render loop. Full writeup.
