<p>I am a software architect, manager, and keen cyberloafer. I currently work in Australia’s early space industry helping humans explore space. My life expectancy has been considerably reduced by being a Newcastle Knights member for the last decade and will continue to decline with my burgeoning fandom of the SF Giants. I adore board gaming. </p><p>Sweet in the toots, sour in the tweets; posts mainly HTTP jokes.</p><p>🌏📍Sydney, Australia</p>
