Software Engineer — data-intensive applications in AI & crypto

Summary

Software engineer specialising in data-intensive applications across AI, crypto, and fintech — systems that turn messy, high-volume data into legible product. Trading crypto from 2020, I built the tools nothing else could do: a deterministic double-entry ledger reconciling 20+ wallets across chains. When FTX collapsed in 2022, the proof lived off-chain — so I turned to early local ML: multi-modal pipelines (voice/vision/OCR over 100GB+, on local models) parsing statements, screenshots, and recordings into structured, sourced entries. When models matured in 2024, I put one in the loop: agentic AI harnesses where the model reasons and a deterministic engine computes — structured tool-call outputs, eval datasets grading every proposal, guardrails around non-deterministic reasoning. Comfortable across the stack — TypeScript/Node back-ends, React front-ends, Python ML pipelines, Solana/Rust, Postgres/GraphQL, GCP/AWS/Vercel.

Experience

Software Engineer · Self-employed

2026 – Present

Building AccountMD — a deterministic double-entry engine for crypto + fiat, operated through an AI harness (Claude Code + domain skills), so every number carries its receipts. FIFO cost basis, multi-chain event parsing, per-wallet audit trails, and on-chain forensics — reconstructing wallet flows and running token/project due diligence (rugs, exploits) on Solana. Alongside, freelance fiat-valuation work for a finance client (MYOB + Xero).

Software Engineer · Self-employed

2020 – 2026

Self-directed trading infrastructure on Solana — built P&L analytics and trade-ledger reconstruction tooling for delta-neutral day-trading and DLMM market making (Meteora), across ~1000s of transactions (see the project demos below).

Sales Engineer · STRV

2017 – 2018

Pre-sales engineering at a US software-development agency (New York) — scoping custom software builds and translating client requirements into project specs.

Software Engineer Intern · Atlassian

2014 – 2015

Software engineering internship in the Jira/Confluence ecosystem, during my UNSW engineering degree.

Education

University of New South Wales

2012 – 2016

Bachelor's Degree in Engineering (Electrical)
