Hey there šŸ‘‹

You might have found this site from Google, some dodgy code I wrote, my UNSW course notesā€¦ or maybe youā€™re a bot.
Either way, welcome!

During the week I work as a Security Engineer at Atlassian.
During the weekend, I do wedding photography and event production stuff, or sleep!

Itā€™s hard to explain my jobs and hobbies, because thereā€™s too many, and too many of them are intertwinedā€¦
But itā€™s basically a mixture of software, audio, lighting, video, photos, computer networks, and security.

I studied Computer Engineering at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
Formerly I did Electrical Engineering, but I eventually found myself more fascinated with hardware design.
I wrote a thesis as part of my honours degree, if you want to read that!

Currently I have no idea what I really want to do with my life, but donā€™t we all šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø


My life, sort of categorised..

šŸ’» Hardware & Software

Code monkey, hardware hackerā€¦ I make and break things - though mainly the latterā€¦

My interests lie in network technologies, multimedia systems and dev o(o)ps - though realistically the reason I write software is so that I donā€™t have to pay for them.

I also do something involved with cyber security, but shh letā€™s keep that a ā€¦ secret ā€¦ between you and mešŸ•µļøā€ā™€ļø

šŸ“ø Photography

ā€œAlright on threeā€¦ three!ā€

When Iā€™m not doing wedding photography, you can probably find me spending hours and hours in the exact same spot capturing the gorgeous landscapes and sceneries around us.
Orā€¦ looking like a lunatic whilst carrying around a bunch of random lights for some creative portraits or light paintings.

šŸŽ¬ Audio / Visual Production

ā€œCamera 2, iris up.ā€ Ɨ ā€œIs this thing on?ā€

Iā€™m one of those people who you donā€™t know exist, until we mess up.

Thereā€™s no hope for me in front of a camera or microphone, but I can sure make others look and sound good!
From corporate events like conferences, to weddings, to concerts, theatre and festivals - I mainly work as a live sound engineer (mixing audio) and broadcast engineer (video production and livestreaming), but basically Iā€™m a ā€œjack of all trades, master of none someā€.

I program light shows from time to time but audio is definitely my strongest domain.

šŸŽø Music

When I was younger I was forced to learn piano, then I was forced to learn clarinet, and then I was forced to learn saxophone.
Nowadays I may or may not have an unhealthy amount of guitars..

šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø Misc

Sports? Table Tennis, and going on hikes/walks (if you consider that a sportā€¦)
Sleep deprived? Absolutely.
Hotel? Trivago.
