What's Still Open Sydney

A late-night activity finder for Sydney — shows every restaurant, bar, and venue open right now, with real-time countdowns, geolocation search, and a "Plan My Night" AI feature that curates a full evening in one tap.

Internal operations dashboard for a real retail business I manage. Handles inventory, orders, tracking, and low-stock alerts — replacing spreadsheets entirely. Built with Next.js, Express, and SQLite.

FEA Destroyer

Physics-informed ML surrogate for 2D truss bridge design. Uses a matrix-stiffness FEM solver to generate training data, then trains models to predict stress and deflection from geometry alone — orders of magnitude faster than traditional FEA.

Quiz Platform Backend

Production-style REST API inspired by Kahoot. Full authentication & session management, quiz and question CRUD, TypeScript migration with strict typing, persistent storage, and integration tests throughout.

✦ about me

Designer who actually ships code.

I'm a Computer Engineering student at UNSW with a rare combination: I care deeply about how things look and feel, and I can build them end-to-end. My projects aren't mockups — they're live, deployed, and used by real people.

Outside of code, I'm Events Director at UNSW Golf Society, on the UI/UX Subcommittee at DevSoc, and I've grown a business to 110k monthly viewers while managing a team of artists. I go wide and go deep.
