I am a Software Engineer based in New Zealand. I specialize in building autonomous AI systems and high-performance web applications, bridging the gap between technical architecture and business value.
- Agentic AI: Developing multi-agent orchestration systems from scratch using Laravel and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
- Engineering Leadership: Writing about collaborative engineering culture and the traits of exceptional technical leaders.
- Business Analytics: Applying the Phillips ROI framework and data-driven insights to solve real-world operational problems.
- CoreFoundation: A foundational Laravel package for enterprise modular monolith APIs — base repositories, services, request/response contracts, exception handling, and built-in code smell analysis, inspired by patterns from large-scale platforms like Magento and Shopify.
- Ecosystem contributions: Merged PR to laravel/mcp adding
resource_linkcontent type support, plus contributions across laravel/docs, laravel/octane, and filamentphp/filament. - I maintain and ship OSS in the margins — evenings and weekends around a full-time role. If you'd like to support that work, check out my GitHub Sponsors profile.
