I currently lead the Product and Design teams at Corellium, a virtual hardware lab for security researchers, pen-testers, IoT developers and government defense contractors. Our mission is to make the world a safer, more secure place by accelerating security R&D.

While my work at Corellium is product strategy and direction, my background is in product design and software engineering. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working with many fantastic companies and people.

Work

Prior to joining Corellium, I spent several years running Jellypepper, a creative agency, where I worked with many incredible startups1 in “disruptive industries” such as self-driving cars, AI, biotechnology, cryptocurrency, drone delivery, cybersecurity and even orbital (outer space) logistics.

Towards the end of 2020 I contracted for R/GA as an Experience Designer, where I worked on a variety of projects for large clients2 with various teams of talented people.

From 2016 — 2017, I was Head of Product and Design at Spaceship where we raised $20M+ in funding, grew a waitlist of 28K+ people and grew to $100M+ in funds under management.

In the summer of 2015, I was a Product Design intern at Palantir where I worked with a small team on an anti-fraud and big data analysis project for a U.S. government agency.

After Hours

After hours I run Beskar — a digital playground and my corner of the internet to publish content, build apps and experiment with new technologies. So far, I've built a handful of apps and tools, including:

  • Refraction — an AI-powered code improvement suite.
  • Neutral — a carbon offsetting app.
  • Waitlist — fast, unbranded waitlists for developers.
  • Harmony — a unified, opinionated linting config.

Years ago, I created Presumi (closed) — a job application and resume tracking platform. I licensed it to SEEK in Hong Kong for a while, where we managed 100K+ job applications and processed 1M+ data points.

I also freelance occasionally and have worked with some brilliant companies and organizations3.

Education

In 2016, I graduated from the University of Technology, Sydney with a Bachelor of Business (Management) and a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (Enterprise Systems Development).

I also completed HarvardX's CS50x Computer Science course in 2021 and Arm's ESE101 Embedded Systems course in 2022.

Availability

I have limited availability and occasionally take on select projects, such as freelance and consulting roles. I'm also open to joining boards and advisory roles. If you're interested, please get in touch.
